@petrosophia@caw.corbode.com with OSR you can go crazy with the prep, but then it can be very easy to run at the table. And if you're feeling high energy you can pour that into playing NPCs, evocative descriptions, making jokes, etc.

@martin@dice.camp Thank you so much for these ideas! I've played For the Queen before, and I've definitely heard of the others but never tried them out. Having an alternative is a great idea, and I can totally see myself being able to GM more easily with less pressure. I've never tried an OSR game before, but I'll take that into consideration for sure. I'm really partial to Fate, personally, and maybe that level of improv/quick thinking is part of what wears me out too. Something to think about.
