For me the main one is to run Blades in the Dark for the very first time and maybe play through the Pendragon starter adventure.

The box set is great. I'm currently running another bug hunt and absolutely loving it. The mechanics are brilliant, everything runs super smoothly with the mechanics giving enough threat and stress to keep it interesting but otherwise getting out of the way and allowing lots of role play. It's a real easy one to teach as well because everything is so simple and intuitive. Plus the companion app seems quite usable (though we have done everything on paper).

I've played in one microscope session. Could be a good one to keep in the back pocket if you have some sickness one session as you need no prep.

Thanks for the info! Haven't really delved into the story books yet (just read the warden manual), guess Another Bug Hunt will be the first:)

Ad microscope, great idea!

Of those included it's designed to be the first module you play and it's definitely the easiest to just pick up and play.

I'd love to hear how your game goes.
