I recently ran Inn Of Lost Hope for my group and they absolutely loved it.
It's a short adventure set in a small sandbox so it's definitely playable as a single session one-shot, we finished it in about 3.5 hours. The titular Inn is a great haunted house style setting with a lot of description and some guidelines from the author of how to frame the whole thing. The narrative itself is simple and well laid out with enough early information and clues so as to let the players in on the story without clubbing them over the head with it.
In the case of the group I ran this the adventure worked simultaneously well for 2 of the players as bridge from one-adventure to the next while also being a great straight forward introduction to the game for our 3rd player.
My one criticism of the adventure is that for a group of 3 characters the combat encounters were a bit too easy. I would definitely recommend increasing the Skill or Stamina of some of the encounters to increase the challenge level (except the final boss, he was a tough nut to crack).
Overall my players and I had a terrific time and I know almost immediately after running this one of my players got his own copy and ran t for another group.
Definitely 5 stars, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun Fighting Fantasy adventure.
