This is listed as being multi-session. I played this in a single long session (4.5 hours) because I like one shots and that's what works best for my group. I could easily see another group getting several sessions out of this. It was great - just as high quality as the other two scenarios (Night of the Hogmen/Blood Cotillion). I found this lower prep/easy to run than Blood Cotillion (but more than Hogmen where you need essentially no prep) as you really only need to read the opening scene and finale ahead of time.
The character playbooks were as amazing as the rest of the series, and the mutation system was great. The naming of the characters and assorted inventory that each character has is such a great hook and kicks off so many different tangents for the players... I've reused some of the characters in "continued stories in the same universe" as they're really too good to only use once.
As excited as I am about the full RPG coming out, these scripted one shots/campaign have been so great that I'd rather just keep playing a new one of these every few months... so keep up the great work!
Thanks for the kind words! I agree it's doable in a single session, we just seldom manage more than 3 hours, so it's multi-session to us. We're really pleased with the playbooks, too, and having pre-written characters something we're thinking of carrying over into the campaign, too.

Huge recommendation!
