If you aren't reminding someone for five whole minutes then you're being a moron too.

>Notice that Debbie doesn't seem to know it's her turn
>"Debbie, you're up"

Just solved the problem

I have TWO of these assholes in my group

even when they ARE paying attention, they take FOREVER to decide what they're going to do, because they've never bothered to read the rules or anything beyond the basic abilities of whatever class/role they're playing.

So EVERY round of combat lasts fucking HALF AN HOUR because it gets to them and then stalls while they try to figure out what they can do/get brought up to speed about what happened during the last round.

If your players are regularly zoning out like that it means your game is boring them.

>>50912384
This is why I pay close attention in combat. I want to be able to perform my turn as quickly and efficiently as possible.

>>50912830
Pretty much

I often do my turn in under 20 seconds, only for the next guy to go 'Uuuuuuh, let me look at my character again' and spend five minutes deciding what to do.

>>50912856
I feel you.

"What's my damage again?"
"Is this a d20?"
"How many guys are left?"

"Which one is the d6"
Me "the cube"
"oh ok"
then he picks up a d8

I have a player that I seriously question his intelligence.

>>50912830
Yeah I've usually decided what I'm going to do before my turn. Also, it helps that group preforms like a medieval swat team.

>Player calls roll he made "Natural X", no modifiers or anything.
>"Anon, you need to add your modifiers; 'Natural' only really matters if you roll a twenty to hit and get critical."
>Anon: "Oh, right, sorry. I get result Y."
>Next roll: anon, "Natural X."

SERIOUSLY? EVERY FUCKING ROLL WE HAD TO REMIND HIM.

I've never been happier for a campaign to end - and it was Return to Castle Ravenloft (one of my faves). Thank god we were only playing the short version.

I'm in the other end of the spectrum. Whenever I finished a turn in MTG I used to ask almost immediately after if it was my turn, then when playing Civ5 with friends it sounded something like "Pass the turn. Why aren't you passing the turn? PasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturnPasstheturn. Slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Your icon's still blinking, pass the turn. Finally! I'm done, now pass the turn."

So how's that mental retardation working out for you anon?

>complete RPG turns instantaneously due to the inherent simplicity of RPGs in comparison

You just have to move one dude. I don't get what is hard about this. I can understand a bit of slowdown if stakes are REALLY HIGH, but otherwise wat.

>>50914551
Just start taking what he calls as the final result. Either he realizes he's getting much lower numbers than anyone else or he's actually a retard.
