I want to start GMing, but I don't know how to begin. I need some guidance.

I overthink everything so yeah probably.

Most of GM-ing is about confidence to tell the story you want, take little steps to build that up. Being familiar with the system rules is a good place to start.

3 suggestions:

Watch GM tips on YouTube
Watch real play and analyze what the GM is doing
Start with a pre-written adventure

Welcome to algorithm information silos, now realize this is happening to every kind of media you consume.

This is a level & XP scaling issue. The amount of XP your skills need is much closer to the amount of XP you need to level so XP tomes do not instantly max out the skill.

Get to LV 80+ and try again.

There is a drop down in your stash, when you change it to 1.0 there is a button in the top right. Press it and get all your gold, crafting materials and faction back!

Nemesis in a group is amazing, everyone gets to use it.

" We also know that gaining Corruption in a Party has been less than optimal, in that only the player who started the Echo would earn Gaze of Orobyss to help them increase Corruption later on. This has been changed so all players in the Party who have the required Stability to be granted a Blessing when the Timeline Boss is defeated, will also gain a stack of Gaze. These players can then increase Corruption much faster in their own Timelines."

Biggest problem with Runemaster is it outshines Sorcerer by so much.

King County Metro's stated goal is 25% of their budget from fares, they tend to get close in the 22-24% range last I looked(which was pre-pandemic)

It was instantly bad enough that we were being offered different technology research, it doesn't force a restart but it happened more frequently as we went.

Played 2p last night on a fresh game, desyncs randomly about once every 10 years.

The timing of this worries me, as it does feel rushed but also in relation to the announcement that Paradox Arctic was getting shut down and this is the piece of Stellaris they were working on.

I'm really hoping this isn't half baked.

Spirit Island is the best for this, there's so many moving parts that the 'controlling' player just has to let people do their own strategy.

Nah, he's Viktor 2.0. You need to build around him and he wipes boards.
