Before I make a poll on a topic, I should make sure it's complete.
What do you see happen at your D&D/RPG table that wastes time and slows down the game? I'm not talking about things that are part of the fun experience like everyone rabbit-trailing onto Monty Python jokes for 5 minutes... unless that's actually something your table prefers not to do.
What I've seen to start us off:
1) People being late. Ugh.
2) Repeated "Oh, it's my turn. I'll start finding my dice now."
3) Rolling dice and then having to cross-reference to character sheet to see what to add to give the total.
4) Looking up the details of what spells do while people wait. I'm the DM and I sometimes do this...but I have to pay attention during everyone's turns and the last fight had 5 enemy casters + 2 summons. I still feel bad about it.
