[QUOTE="BenTheFerg, post: 8126539, member: 96891"] Agree with these posts. Been teaching 16-19s for nearly 30 years. Lots of cross over skills. Problem with teaching, esp in the UK atm, with the 4 years of continual curriculum change followed by the pandemic, on top of cuts, is that we're all at breaking point. Thus, even before the pandemic, I have found it very hard to conjure up the mental energy to run anything that was not 'out of the can ' with only tweaking games..... and now with online gaming, again, much easier to run 5e games which are bought modules on Roll20 (eg Rime of the Frostmaiden), and modify to taste, since the heavy lifting has been done for you. Still plenty of prep to do (the bureaucratic faff of copying and placing pc counters onto maps/ turning off 'whisper to GM' on critter sheets, as well as creative, eg creating new maps for various encounters not mapped, plus extra homebrew locations) Looking forward to playing again soon so I can rest a little!
