My Methodology: Convention Setup

This weekend I ran a couple of rounds for Treasure Hunter Adventures; they were Infernal Devices, a sequel to last year's The Templar Vessel. Here's a picture of the setup. 

The action opens as the Iconic Heroes are arriving for the gala opening of an exhibit featuring the Knights Templar, including relics they recovered in their previous two convention scenarios. It's a red carpet affair complete with media coverage, an exclusive guest list, and the like. Of course, something happens to introduce another adventure. 

Highlights from Con of the North 2022

Here are some of the highlights. 

• In both sessions, the heroes jumped right into the opening chase, taking a car and tearing through the streets of London in pursuit of a speedboat on the River Thames. This was a good chance for Linh, the driver, to put her skills to the test. 
• This led to opportunities for Vaughn, Gavin and even Magdalena to leap from the car onto the boat in a boarding action. 
• The highest roll of the two days was a 21, an opposed Athletics test by Vaughn to pitch one of the thieves off of the speedboat. 
• Players in the second session really got into the idea of a gala museum exhibit opening; their characters--Thaddeus and Magdalena--filled plates from the charcuterie boards and took glasses of champagne with them as they searched the museum after the bomb threat. 
• The final fight with the thieves and their boss played out in different ways each time, which was fun to see. In one, Vaughn boarded the van and intentionally crashed it, while in the other Linh shot out its tires to stop the thieves' escape. 
•  In the last session, once the gala opening resumed, it went long into the night, ending with improvised karaoke--and Vaungh's rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner.
