Two pieces of advice that you're probably already doing:

1. Only call for roles if the outcome is interesting. If the players are looking for info in an archive, don't roll to see if they pull the ...

I tend to focus more on a cinematic experience than detailed tracking. When time matters, I still tend to talk in hour or 30 minute chunks because what I'm communicating is "you have X actions be ...

I believe your misunderstanding comes from an assumption that ...

Ziz, you clearly put a lot of work into this. I know I searched for a while even with OCR to understand what whip info was in the Adventure Journals so I have some idea of how long it would take to ca ...

The number of players will affect things, but the greater factor is the quality of the players. If you have two game masters acting as players, they will entertain the sitting game master and run a hi ...
