Kicking off the Holidays - Session Report

[ATOEtalGeek]

We use the co-op side of the shadow track and a couple of house rules that I have developed over time to make the shadow track move. The most important balancing aspect in the game is making the shadow track move so the heroes must act before they would want to. If the shadow track does not move there is too much time for the heroes to buff up. By making the shadown track move it ratchets up the tension greatly and makes for a good showdown...usually with the shadow track in the last few steps. It also helps to keep the game in the 2 to 2 1/2 hour range.
