How does your favourite game ease the GM job ? - eviltoast

I keep reading over various internets communities, how being a GM is hard, how player are ungrateful spoiled kids, and how much GM struggles.

So which games have tools/mechanics to ease the GM job, and which are these.

For this discussion I would focus on the game itself, rather than on method used by groups.

Even though I feel like I know some answers, judging how active the community is at the moment, I try to open that thread and may-be a few others to keep the /c/ alive

    Interesting, because I wouldn’t thought about D&D/Pathfinder as game easing the GM job but indeed, well written module/campaign are really helpful, especially for a busy GM. Also a well balanced system is also a great tool

      As someone who has run both, the organization of content and rules in the books makes a huge difference. D&D will reference rules that show up in other parts of the book with even telling you that it’s doing so, or what page to jump to for the rest of the information. Meanwhile PF2e is free open source and has all of its game content in a fairly easy to browse free database online.
