I've run three "Powered by the Apocalypse" games at cons now (2 MotW, 1 DW) and PC gen has taken between 30 and 40 minutes for each and it's made for a very "RP rich" group. would you consider this about the right length of time for a 4 hour slot?
Hadn't thought of having a mid session "End of Session" move, I will definitely include that!
The quest idea is good to, although that might require more on the spot thinking than I can muster nowadays... :)

For those that run one shots, especially at Cons, would you like to share any of your experiences?
Thanks in advance!

All very good narrative, however this wasn't my point.
For me it boils done to "Can you Defend yourself"?
If you can, then you can always defend against an attack directed at you, possibly causing more damage than if you reacted with a Hack and Slash...

Don't get me wrong I'm not advocating everyone Defends, however as I mostly run one shots at conventions and I want to run some higher level scenarios, I've got to look at the options available to Players.

I am approaching this purely from a mechanics point of view and how this might influence narration.
Cannot the person you defend be yourself, if so then players might be inclined to Defend rather than Hack and Slash?
If this is not the case then I believe it should be clearly stated.
It was highlighted to me when I was making a Riposte move which would be:
Riposte When you successfully parry an attack you may change the Defend option from "Deal damage to the attacker equal to your level" to "Deal damage to the attacker"
However I then realised that at higher levels this would be mean less damage being given.

With Defend you have the ability to cause more damage than Hack and Slash as you increase in level, is this intentional?
