Firefly: What's Yours is Mine

Another month, another game session, and more fun had. This time we had a full complement of five players, plus myself, and it turns out that even with the revised seating arrangements that's the maximum that can comfortably be handled - indeed, even that number is perhaps a little tight.

The game itself went quite well, except that once again there was a pacing issue that led to the finale being very rushed and also heavily compressing Act Three (and omitting Act Four entirely!). Still, everyone seemed to have fun, so that was good.

For the next session, "Shooting Fish", I'm going to spend a bit more time in preparation and see what I can edit out of the session. It does look like the adventures as-written are slightly too long to fit comfortably in three hours, so some adaptation is probably in order. Which is no bad thing, just something to keep in mind.

I'm also starting to consider going "off book" with these "Lost Episodes". There's absolutely nothing wrong with the pre-gen adventures, and indeed it's quite nice to actually be using some of the many adventures I've acquired, rather than having them just taking up space, but I do wonder if it might be better to start writing my own custom episodes, and thus building them to fit in the three-hour slot I have available?

Anyway, something to think about, for now. The next session is scheduled for four weeks from now, and is the next adventure from "Thrillin' Heroics" - "Shooting Fish".
