Critique Your Game Master Prep for Pacing Problems Before You Run It

The session starts in an hour and the notes look thinner than they felt at 11pm last night. This checks for the monologue nobody asked for, the choices that are not really choices, and the pacing that trails off instead of landing, so the fixes happen now rather than mid-session.

**Critique these session notes:**
1. Flag any section that is a monologue waiting to happen: too much GM talking, no player input
2. Identify where players have a real choice versus where the outcome is fixed regardless of what they do
3. Check pacing: does the session have a clear midpoint and a strong final beat, or does it trail off
4. Note anything that assumes information the players do not yet have
