What are they doing?

Wut!? Purdey was awesome!

But does it deal with the issue of multiple minions slowing the game down, and leaving the other players twiddling their thumbs?

Oh look, that goalpost wizzed past again. Not sure if its a US goalpost or a UK one though. I am pretty sure they asked for you to supply ONE example from D&D, not only examples from D&D. The point being, if you can only give examples from games that are not D&D, then then there is nothing to...

I don't know, I don't speak French.

Oh, did I just see a moving goalpost?

Have you never played Diablo and it's family of computer games? Because the Necromancer class does not work like that.

Then it’s only a lose on one count - being anything like a Diablo Necromacer.

Given that Conjure Animals makes the game grind to a screeching halt, that's not a viable solution for a playable turn based tabletop game. It also has a limited duration, which most of the summons of the Diablo Necromancer do not. So its a lose on both counts.

Neither of these resemble the Diablo Necromancer though, which is really what this thread is all about. The Diablo Necromancer has a bunch of until-they-are-killed undead minions, and the reason it can have them is that they are controlled by the computer. So in that sense the OP is correct...

It sounds like a DM who feels the players are having far too easy a time of it! Maybe it's the players who need to be spoken too, and told to stop trying so hard to win.

Yeah, it's better to start off with rules-lite systems, and gradually add stuff in, rather than dive in with something that is very crunchy. But that's something else that is best learned by experience. But the advice has to be, unless your can say "I really enjoyed that" you should say...

I don't recall any version of D&D that had PC necromancers who could summon armies of undead. There were no PC necromancers in 1st edition, and by 3rd edition all they got was an extra necromancy spell per day. There was the Pale Master PrC in 3rd edition, that had a couple of undead pets, but...

I can remember exactly how I learned the Superman origin story. You remember those viewmaster toys - a 3D slide viewer? For some reason it was on one of the disks I had for that. Must have been around 75, a couple of years before the Reeve movie. Hulk I got from the Bill Bixby TV series...

We have always done it that way round. I never considered the phrase to be in chronological order.

Licence to Kill is a remake of Live and Let Die, going back to the novel.

Yeah, that play was Romeo and Ethel the Pirate’s Daughter.

Well, to be optimistic, maybe humanity will find a way to stupid itself to extinction in such a way that is less damaging to other species, such as deporting the people who harvest the food then starving to death.

Those countries who industrialised earlier have a greater responsibility for climate change now. But there aint no justice (especially when the guilty have all the power).

All of the modern-era stories have felt rushed to me, with the problem getting progressively worse. I liked it when the settings and supporting characters were fleshed out.
