I guess I'm largely speaking to the trend. I think both Droughtman's and the Academy are shallow compared to what I remember of Black Swan, (or the Lorminstra Quest for that matter). This is of course understandable: one has a run time of about 40 minutes and the other 3 hours, while Black Swan was a much longer haul. No one is expecting a lot of depth out of Droughtman's, but the point is that Black Swan was and hopefully is a fun quest to do without needing someone to continually kick me in the butt and tell me I only have 43 minutes left.

I think it's OK to consider running longer quests at a higher price point. You might as well, considering how much effort you put into it. I think your work is worth more than $14 bucks, and I'd like to spend more time enjoying it, even if it costs me 3x the price.

I am in full agreement with Kerl's comments except those on the new BSC runs. I did not like how the event was described so I did not buy a ticket. I have been disappointed in Ebon Gate the last two years and I would rather my BSC experience remain fondly in my memory and not have it spoiled by "without needing someone to continually kick me in the butt and tell me I only have 43 minutes left." and such.

Kerl,
I still have my Lorminstra badge and fondly recall laying dead at 3 am without another soul in the event and only the GM to talk to. Good times!
