Does anyone know what's going on at 546 Dundas street? It seems empty but a large banner that reads "Gotta Catch 'Em All" was recently installed on the front.

I go by there every day and nothing seems to change, other than the new banner.

I try to remove anything that isn't totally necessary. So they're a no from me, dawg.

it means that it would allow cyclists to go in both directions on a one-way street.

not sure what a compose key is, but I've gotten away with just using alt codes like these

Gm notes? what are those?

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.

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

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.
