Convention games and pre-selected playbooks.

I’m thinking to taking to MotW to a couple of conventions here in the UK, one of which won’t be a gaming only event, so I’m likely to have a potential audience of non, or at least inexperienced, gamers.

Given that, what are peoples thoughts on pre-selecting playbooks in advance? Good or bad idea? With possibly four hours or less in which to get through everything, I’m thinking that reducing the choices and therefore the amount of explaining required, would be a good thing. Am I wrong?

Thoughts appreciated (as are mystery suggestions).
