I have been running this game for my good friends for about 9 months now and we all live 2 hours away so its always been easier to run online with out schedules. Recently we all got new jobs and just so happens our weekends are free and they want to try and run a game IRL. That's great, but there's an issue... I've never ran a game irl before.

I'm so used to the convienence of premade maps and foundryVTT that I haven't needed to think too hard on this before but how do dm's do combat IRL. I know it sounds silly but I dont wanna roll up this Saturday with a dry erase marker and a dream. I want to be prepared

Give me some advice, thank you.

I was recently invited to a PF2E game and eagerly accepted however... I don't know the system. I want to learn and play with some buddies who i've played D&D with for years so I drew up some character concepts and was wondering what the players of PF2e think would be the easiest to learn.

My options are:

A chameleon gnome wizard whose goal in life is to try and make the largest spell book ever (I main wizard in dnd so I figured wanting a large spell list is what I typically enjoy).

A gunslinger automaton who wants to be an old style western, using revolving pistols

A human inventor... the class sounded interesting.

So what out of those would be the easiest to learn as a newcomer to the system, but not TTRPGs.

I'm working on a server, and Its tropical themed so I wanna play jimmy buffet on either a jukebox or in some other way. If someone has a good one let me know!
