...so, yet another GMing technique I've had to rediscover?When the party splits up it's easy enough for GM to switch to rotate between players/groups of players giving everyone a fair share of the time. Admittedly it works better in urban settings when it feels natural for different characters with different skills to pursue different leads. This is pretty old, well-established GMing tech.
Eh, I'm getting used to it...
You might want to try my Expert GMing Move: split them in three parts. When the first group starts interacting with an NPC they want something from, pull aside a player from Group 3, tell him or her what the NPC can give them, give him the quick stats, and let him play the interaction out with them.
Then switch to the second group. If you still have waiting players, wait until 2nd group meets an NPC they want something from...
