I've run IMR three or four times now, though never at a con.  In fact, I 
use it to introduce new players to roleplaying.  I've never really had a 
bad run, though the PCs have only managed to "cross over" once; usually, 
they end up killing each other.

Truth be told, though, I'm starting to get a little sick of it.  I've got 
about four people who I want to introduce to the hobby, and I've been 
considering a UA scenario, possibly one from One Shots or Weep.  Is there 
any scenario that folks on the list particularly recommend?
