The first three links are all for Ironsworn, but the game in the entry is Ironsworn: Starforged, which is by the same creator but different in a few ways.

Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD SEP 11: What do you think of GMs offering suggested courses of action to the players? As a GM, when do & don't you do this? How many options? As a player, do you like when GMs do this?

I usually only do that if the players are really struggling to figure things out. I try to write my encounters so that doesn't happen but it has still happened from time to time.

Cool to see what you think! I'm very interested to see where his design goes with the new Ironsworn.

Would you bring up options they haven't thought of but which you have?

I have no problem reminding players of things they've forgotten or saying things like, "Your character would know..." if they try to act in ways incongruous with the setting. I think that's a separate issue/question though.
I'm thinking of times when the GM sets the scene and asks, "What do you do?" and almost immediately offers up suggestions of what they could do.
I am that GM more often than I'd like to admit. My group can be indecisive though, and there are often silent pauses after I've set a scene. Playing online may play into it, too, as folks try to avoid talking over one another. I think I need to be more okay with dead air, longer pauses, etc.

These are great responses, and makes me think I probably jump to offering suggestions too soon.
