Message: <blockquote data-quote="JmanTheDM" data-source="post: 8175221" data-attributes="member: 6791902">Hey all,while this may not only apply to Pathfinder, I'm finding the below question more pronounced in Pathfinder.I've now run about 22 sessions of Pathfinder 2e, 100% of them online.  I've used Roll20 for the first 16 sessions and switched over to Fantasy Grounds for these past 6 sessions.  Played Fall of Plaguestone first, switched to The Slithering for these past 6 sessions.  Game sessions are 4 hours long.I can only really get 1 combat done per game session.  this past Saturday, we extended play by 1.25 hours, where we WERE able to complete 2 combat encounters.is this normal?  I really have no yardstick to measure if this is normal because of online play and being brand new to the Pathfinder (any edition) experience.Stylistically - if this matters, I tend to be descriptive in my combats "blood splattering here, vines grabbing you and whipping you about..." that sort of thing.  I also purposefully ask my players to assist with combat descriptions  gm: "describe that killing blow",  player "[awesome description that takes like 30 seconds]"  this will obviously slow things down.Also,  every player in my group is brand new to PF - so learning the rules and lookups happen quite a bit, and every player (myself included) is new to FG - so learning the interface.  each will slow things down as well.however...  all of that being said, and I acknowledge this will be a slower play experience - what is a "typical" PF session like?  for typical here, I think one-shot organized play would be a good gauge since they tend to be scheduled for 4 to 5 hours?  were I an organized play GM, how many combat encounters would I be expected to run at the table to complete the session?I think I need to figure out strategies on speeding things up.  how do you move things along?sorry for the wandering post! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />cheers,J.</blockquote>
