How to Write Con Scenarios, part II - Characters
Originally published at Figures of Text. Please leave any comments there.
First, check with the con; some conventions will specify how many players they want at a table. Normally, this number is five or six. If they have such a requirement, stick to it – it’s there for a reason. (Seating arrangements, mainly, plus it’s a lot easier for the rpg co-ordinator to look at a room full of tables and go ‘right, I need to rustle up two more players for that table, one for that one, and three for the poor guy in the corner’ instead of ‘agh, are there four or seven spaces in the GURPS: Combat Gardening game?’) Let’s assume six player characters.
