Just wondering. I've been working on a story but I know that the two week window I'd have to run the mod isn't enough to get everything worked out to my satisfaction, much less organize a table for our home group.

03-18-07, 08:45 AM For retail play two weeks is the *minimum* amount of time to order a mod before play (I think for home play the minimum is one week - not sure).

If you wanted to schedule a larger "order" window, you certainly could - so long as your play date isn't scheduled after the play dates posted.

So, if a DM's Mark was available from 5/1 to 5/31, starting in mid-april you could order the DM's Mark for play on 5/31, giving you about 6 weeks to create, prep, and play the mod.
