The Portal Under the Stars
I'm gearing up to run this event at a local convention, and was wondering what I can expect the average play through duration to be? I know this will vary depending on the play style of the group. I'm just looking for a rough estimate as to what would be considered average.

Re: The Portal Under the Stars
Hey Timelord,
With our group we created brand new characters and took it slowly. I think it was about 7 total hours over two or three sessions, but we goofed around a bit with lots of table talk and were still figuring out the ruleset.
I'm estimating that with pre-generated characters, a GM who is familiar with the rules and knows the adventure, you could get through it in about 3 hours give or take, depending upon the size, experience and focus of the group -- and if they split the party.
Hope this helps. It's only one opinion.

I ran through with a split group of noobs and veterans. I had notes prepared. Took about 3.5 hours with rolling new characters for everybody.
Re: The Portal Under the Stars
I think we took 1.5 sessions, about 4-5 hours total time, to roll up characters and play through the module. Big chunk of that, probably almost half, was character creation. Lots of book flipping, but it helps to do one thing and go around the table ("Ok, everybody roll d30s for Lucky Rolls/Birth Augurs.").

Re: The Portal Under the Stars
Around 4-5 hours maybe, without rolling characters. It was the first DCC RPG module I ran.
