They way you "budget" monsters for encounters, for example, is far simpler than 3.X. (That said, it's still not as slick as 4E.) And, with that, the way monsters are presented in the books is very useful -- again, especially comparing it things in 3.X. I wish there was more helpful stuff like this. I just bought a $20 supplement on NPCs. Super handy. There's an upcoming GM's guide thing that will have more of this, and I'm pre-ordered already based on that alone.

Do they work? I am surprised that you find three hours to not be enough time. That is our typical "actual play" time when we do get together to play, so I am used to it. Interesting stuff. I want to hear more details about what worked mechanically, what didn't, and the same for other bits. So what are these tools in Pathfinder you speak of? Do they work?
