Episode notes
Handle Slow Wizards
- If your wizard takes too long, give them a wizard hourglass.
- If that doesn't work, try passive-aggressive tactics like bathroom breaks.
Address Slow Turns
- Openly communicate with the group if long turns disrupt the game flow.
- Metagaming can be acceptable as it enhances the social, collaborative aspect.
Managing Large NPC Groups
- DMs can use swarms of weaker monsters instead of numerous individual NPCs.
- This streamlines combat and maintains a balanced challenge.
