j'ai remarqué une difference flagrante entre le Quebec et l'Ontario. Aussi j'ai trouvé que les policiers étaient plus strict au Québec, avec raison evidemment.
seriously though, I have someone in the party keep a journal of things that have happened. Then I keep a bullet point notes in a notepad or piece of paper that I have behind the GM screen.
This wasn't pathfinder, but I think it translates over to any fantasy game. The party was made up of an alchemist, a ranger, and two psions (magic-users). So I prepared a small roadside encounter of 3 bandits. They were escorting an old elderly knight to town.
The players had made their characters in such a a way that they had no usable skills so I had to pull a deus ex machina and have the old rescue rescue their asses. They were getting slaughtered. I think my story stresses the importance of having players communicate during the character creation process to make characters that make up a well-rounded party.
I also learned that what I thought was an easy encounter should've been dialed back even further.
To me it's too quick and dirty, also the math is kind of weird to get used to. I understand that it's supposed to be more "cinematic", but that ain't my bag.
Yeah I'm stuck in that black hole currently. But it turned into designing an entire game from the ground up. It started in 2016 and I'm still not done.
does playing with a yo-yo count?

It's tough to watch a group fumble around a solution that's in plain sight. I recently had something like that happen.

Hey they were busy alright, Osgiliath ain't gonna free itself
Yeah, it's got a lot of options, but as a GM, you have to put a lot of work into campaigns.
as a forever GM I feel your plight
you got that right.
You're wise, don't be like me

What are you guys playing now?
Numanera looks cool, but I can't get into the Cypher System. Have you tried any other games that use the system?
