If anybody has any advice, suggestions (or requests) on how to prepare playbooks and GM materials for a one-shot at a convention, please comment!

So, I’m making a quickstarter document for #cityofjudas – i.e. for conventions.
First of all I am filling the playbooks with some basic info/choices already made for the players. The character creation process can take a little bit of time, and while I believe some players would love to customize their character further, an almost-already-made character can save up quite some time.
Pick the playbook, circle names and looks, answer the background questions, play.

I am going to complete the next characters hopefully in a couple of days. If you played any of these characters, or if you’ve read the manual, please have a look.
Let me know if you think by making certain choices for the players I might be taking away too much, or if you think this will work well for a single session, convention-style, adventure?
If you haven’t read the manual you can probably still comment at least on my choice of moves.
Second question: as a GM, what would you like to see in a document for a convention?
I assume you’ve read the manual if you’re the GM; but if this is your first adventure with City of Judas, would you like a couple of quick-starters for adventures?
And what else could be useful?

It seems like a good document to me. I think the strength of the playbooks is how they streamline character creation and give info about the world. For a home campaign it creates more options are good but for a quickstart campaign or even for a one shot at a friend’s house this seems useful.
Thanks Patrick!
If you’ll get to try the game I’d love to hear about it!
