There's only one pause button I know that works on GMs, "food's ready!"

That'll pause any game. Though it may pause it in 10 minutes, as sometimes you want to hit a stopping point.

DVI-amat?

Bahdmi-amut?

Summon fish!

Or maybe summon food and water? (It's hard to stay dry with a flopping fish around)

Bigby's crushing fish?

I don't know the reference material, so I saw Snape from the back in the first picture. I was surprised in the second half.

I try, the shell I need to crawl out of is large, and comfy though. It was easy being the big dumb fighter type, who would interject with things like "can I smash now?" Or asking the party "can we cook this?"

I've now got a face character and uh, it's hard being a face. At least they are overly dramatic, I can stall conversation with drama.

The real treasure is the cabbages we make along the way.

"Magic missile is just a teleportation spell to a gun range. Create food and water? Teleportation. Teleport? Believe it or not, a hack of disintegration"

Unless they were playing a chicken or rooster person, and meant to say cluck. Or wanted a character with a base, instead of a wanderer.

I don't need 30 minutes, I use two Trello boards, one for me, one shared with players, the player one is factions and important names, the gm one is hooks (planned or spoken out loud)->session ideas->session notes, and a catch-all that is a list of names when I need one.

I also use azgaar's map generator. For the world map: https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/

And I occasionally feed all that into chatgpt to generate me some dialog better than I can manage. "Generate me a mission briefing for a mission where the squad needs to...". (I don't speak military well)

For a forged in the dark game, I'd love to see easy to use character and/or mission specific devil's bargain generators, and a way to store what I have, possibly in a better format.

Mostly, I feel like I'm a pretty blank slate.

How hard is it to add new systems? I'm intrigued at how the campaign organization looks like, but currently playing beamsaber, a forged in the dark game.
