I attack the bugbear. Oh I missed? Cool see you guys in 30 minutes.
Seriously, a while back our group had a 3 hour session and we got through exactly 3 combat turns. As a barbarian, I do not approve :(
Best argument I've ever seen for a low magic setting.
Why are people just accepting casters taking forever to pick their spells? They should preplan their turns during other creatures turns. If your wizard is spending 15 minutes to pick a spell, it's your DM's duty to tell them that they're skipping their turn as the character is too indecisive to figure out what to do, better plan for your next turn instead. If a player is consistently slowing down the game multiple orders of magnitude they either need to learn what their character can do and make snappier decisions or play a class with less choices. There is no reason to tolerate people wasting other players' time to the point it's making the game unenjoyable for them.
As a GM, I'm not. You pick your spell on someone else's turn, and be ready for action on yours!
I like it even less if they ask me what their spell does or need to look it up in their turn. No, you're casting something else at that point, and look up that spell for your next turn!
Of course, I do communicate this, and some other things, beforehand.
