Some players there asked distance questions which would not happen with grid and miniatures, but we waste a little time moving miniatures.Since we do not allow a lot of table discussion in combat, we might not have the same grid measuring, tactics discussions and such that you have that do waste time. Effectiveness often comes at a cost, in this case, time.I would have a 1 minute delay drawing the road, hill, bandit tree, forest on the other side, etc., but such a simple area would take very little time to draw.In some ways, it is classic D&D, but I didn't find it that funny, just a bit dumb. I do admit, however, that I have no emotional attachment to those players and I watched it alone, so the exact same thing at my table would probably have me laughing hard. The same thing happens if I watch a comedian on TV. A few of them are funny even on TV, but most are not to me, especially if I am by myself watching them. If I'm in a comedy club with friends or watching them on TV with a room full of family, those same non-funny comedians become hilarious, presumably since everyone else around me is having a blast. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" /></blockquote>
