How does your favourite game ease the GM job ? (sh.itjust.works)

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

@h3rm17 @jjjalljs 30 feet is about 9 meters, if that's any help. But given that you're also asking how long 6 seconds is when that's the same regardless of country, I'm assuming not?

Problem with visualizong time and measures, I think, more than that. Like I know what 6 seconds is, but what is really enough for? How useful are 6 seconds? 1 minute? Same with distance, how far it feels to do what?
