////TIMEFRAME:
Just out of curiosity, how long do missions take for other people? I ran a good (well, I think so) session last night, but the team only got through the Legwork phase. The session was only about 3 hours and it was only our third time playing so people are still figuring out moves, but I’d pitched a mission I had hoped could be done pretty quickly.
So I just want to know how long a full mission takes, generally speaking, for other people.
I’ve been part of about 10 missions in 2 campaigns. On average every mission ended up being a 4 hour legwork session followed by a 4 hour mission session.
Yeah, in the four missions I’ve ran so far we’ve never wrapped up in one. Last mission actually took three sessions, one and a half legwork and one and a half action. Doing it in two is fine unless your players are telling you otherwise.
I was running 3 hour online games..and it was always 2 parts…the first session being leg work and the second being action. I actually found it a good way to control the length of our sessions and remind them that they had some time to explore, but they literally only had the one session.
I’ve run as many as two scores in a 3.5 hour con session. Got to keep the characters on the move if you want a faster paced game. Keep bringing those hard moves.
