Weem’s DM Tips for RP Prompting and Immersion

[bryantsonnier]

Thank you for your response i'll be sure to add that in next time we run. Had a run night before last which we really weren't prepared for. We gathered around 7:00 and didn't get started into actual play until 10:00-10:30, Once we were started it took us 2-1/2 hours for 2 encounters.

This question is more time managment, obviously have characters ready ahead of time is a must but the game was sort of spur of the moment so i can't blame the players. Generally how long does an average encounter take (roughly 4 PC's 5 Monsters). Are there any tips for speeding up the encounter?

This probably isn't the best thread to cover how to speed up an encounter - there are many other threads for that. Here are some links to just a few of them here at EN World...
