I want to condense Band of Blades into a single con game. I’m not sure if I’ll take the plot of the first few missions, the last few missions, or just whatever special missions that I feel like bundling together. I’ll need to translate the character sheet to Hebrew in the processes, so I want to prepare a bunch of pre-made specialist and rookie legionaries for the players to cycle through in an increasingly deadly race to some fabulous objective.
any ideas about what parts of BoB will need tweaking for a four hour campaign? I’ll through aside XP, probably prepare a shorter map, put aside the long campaign rule to replace them with some simplified version and allow myself to kill rookies left and right, but beside that, what needs to be changed?
Generally I just run the starter mission, and if the group is quick one more mission cycle in a con slot. Seems to work fine.
We have been talking about making a con packet that skips role creation, and puts you in the middle to make more interesting command choices, but I don’t have anything fancy on-hand.
Not sure how to run a full campaign in 4 hours. That seems wildly out of scope.
