Aaah, those were the days <3
I'd probably use Questworlds if I did it again, PoF is a bit of an 80s system.
And world view?

Again - like with relationships - talk to each other about what sort of game you want, what you feel is going well, what could go better?
You can always ask me for specific advice (I love the sound of my own voice) but rarely is there a "right" answer, it's what suits YOU and your players?

Oh, and totally agree re @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social discord if you really want specific advice?
There are a lot of us middleaged blokes there*, but I hope it's like one of those TV shows where people turn up with problems and the codgers are just very supportive and validating

*and cool people

Look, you have a game where the players are having a good time. You win.
Unless you aren't having a good time - in which case, have a think about that, plan an awesome ending to the campaign and learn your lessons for next time.
Every campaign is a chance to screw up a little bit less...

Are you running 5E? To be honest, I won't run above level 10 for exactly this reason, I find it impossible to reliably balance encounters without sometimes tweaking on the fly ("cheating"/"being a good GM" depending on how you look at it)
My players say they would like to play at higher levels 🤷

Absolutely agree with Phil that running a campaign is hard, especially when everyone is inexperienced.
Good for you for holding the group together! Your players are enjoying it or they wouldn't turn up.
In general players are MUCH more tolerant of running overpowered characters than you'd think:-)

Hah! Advising on a campaign is a bit like advising on someone else's relationship <3
You know nothing, everyone sees it differently etc, etc.
But anyway....

Oh, I absolutely did!
If you had not been such an excellent human in all other respects there could have been words exchanged!

Well? When can we expect the first Grogpod on a yacht with Blythy in a bikini?

Happy Birthday to the legendary @thegrognardfiles.bsky.social!
A man who quietly and consistently does so much to support UK roleplaying without ever showing off about it <3
Mind you, now I've thought about it, I would LOVE Dirk to start developing a TikTok influencer presence...

“Benefits” being defined based on your choice of reading material, obvs.
I’m just saying, if you want to warp your children’s minds - put the effort in!

Hmm, I’m not convinced. This seems to suggest that 1minute reading covers you for almost two years.
Honestly, I think there are benefits to reading to your children a bit more than this? 😉

Wild plans obligate you to make a video of your cheery self starting to explain them and then getting waylaid by other awesome things <3

There's nothing more reassuring than a doctor looking at a piece of paper covered with red ink and nuclear hazard symbols turning to you and saying "Och, I'm sure it'll be fine"

As you would expect, the bright nebula in the eastern portion of the map is TTRPGs.
Indie Rock - OK, guilty pleasure.
“Fandom” - maybe?
But FFS, “Norwegian Football Enthusiasts”?
Utterly baffled, but I seem to have a new hobby awaiting me! ❤️
