How to write con scenarios, part IV: Core scenes
Originally published at Figures of Text. Please leave any comments there.
Back in part 1, I said that as a rule of thumb, you can assume you’ll have three to five scenes between opening and finale. Each of these scenes should last around half an hour each. That’s actually quite a lot of play time. Depending on your game system, that’s one or two fights (or a lot more, in some lighter systems); it’s two or three conversations with an NPC; it’s exploring a few rooms in a dungeon; it’s a lot of planning and the quick execution of a plan.
