2018-11-09 End of a Week I've almost made it to the end of this week. I'm still trying to catch up on tasks that I didn't get done yet. I think I'll have to reluctantly accept that I'm not going to get to everything this week. ****** Pathfinder was awesome last night! My niece and her friend really enjoyed themselves. They just need a little help with the mechanics but they'll soon get it. The party defeated a Skaveling, which is a ghoul dire bat, and found some treasure. I still need to get a bit better at tweaking the encounters. I think the Skaveling wasn't quite tough enough for such a big group. I should have bumped up its statistics a bit. Also, I have to make sure that we move fast enough to keep everyone engaged. Eight players is a big group and it takes time to go through the initiative order. I'll have to research how one GMs for bigger groups a bit and see what advice is out there. I can't wait to play again. ****** It's the end of a rather trying week for me. On the bright side, I went to Book Club and have a new book to read; and, I got to run Pathfinder. Still, I'm looking forward to the weekend.
