but I have a question about this passage.
These are adventures with a twist, though. Traditionally, Living Greyhawk adventures are one-round or, rarely, two-round affairs. The dungeons below Castle Greyhawk, though, are far too extensive to be detailed in the traditional three or four encounters featured in such adventures. Thus, each Greyhawk Ruins adventure will contain as much challenge as four, one-round adventures. Playable in one, two, three, or even four sessions, each adventure explores some of the more easily accessible dungeon levels and other as yet secret locations.

So if there are events that last up to four sessions, how can it be done at a convention or game day. Clearly you can.
When released, these adventures will become simultaneously available for conventions, game days, retail events, and home play. (Of course, adventures releasing in months with a major convention will premier there first.) All Greyhawk Ruins adventures retire on 31 December 2008 giving you plenty of time to play them.

How is this going to work?

12-11-06, 10:37 PM The adventures are going to be playable in parts. You can play one part at a time, two, three, or all four. You can then come back and finish off what you didn't play before, with the same party or a different party. That's my understanding of it, though it might be slightly different.

I don't understand the second question; the text seems pretty self-explanatory.

12-11-06, 10:42 PM Thanks Britt that explains some things. Will each part have it's own AR (like RHoD)? Will it be possible to play them out of order or to start a part belonging to the second adventure before finishing the previous one?

P.S. There was no second question. I just posted that part for clarity's sake and of course it ended up just confusing you.
