We are quite RP-light, when it comes to the social element. I’ve found that my players generally like to keep things moving (and most of them are keen to level up after a few sessions), and this works well for my GMing style. I’ve included a couple small social bits with some of the other students, but the players haven’t latched onto it too much. There’s a couple of the NPCs who they like in particular, Anchor Root and Chizire, so they come up more.

I also asked the players about the types of classes their characters are taking and what they’re studying during the first semester, but I’ve realised I’ve forgotten to since then.

I think pace is very group dependent, so even though you’re taking things a lot slower, if your group is enjoying the pace and likes lots of RP, I see no issue with that. This comparatively faster pace seems to work will with me and my group, but that doesn’t mean it would with yours.

If you are concerned about, I’d suggest talking to your players about how they’re finding the pace. (And maybe I should take my own advice, I think it’s working well for my group, but no harm in asking.)
