Category: Legacy: Life Among the Ruins: Rhapsody of Blood

So, I’ve signed up to GM in a (small, local) convention next year, and I need to pick one of the games to run. I’d love to run Rhapsody of Blood, as it’s got a really cool, self-contained arc, but it seems like it would be too long to wrap up in a 4-hour session. I’ve also not actually played or run it. Does anyone with experience have an idea of how long a full incursion into The Cas͡tle takes with 4-5 players? Especially if the Founders “prologue” is included? And would it be possible to cut that down?

One idea I had was to fill the Regent’s clock by a segment every real-world half hour, forcing the players into a confrontation before the end (as well as limiting the number of wards & acolytes instead of one-per-player), but would that significantly muck up the pacing or the moves that revolve around the clock?

…also, is there any particular pronunciation to The Cas͡tle vs the castle? 😛
