    Or my experience with D&D…

    Encounter giant pit monster

    Everyone argues for 20 mins about how everyone else should use their turn

    Repeat until monster is dealt with

    Run out of time of the the evening, so go home

      Chess clock / egg timer. If they don’t decide fast enough then no action for them! You don’t even need to actually do this (it would be a bit extreme in most situations), but the threat that it might happen should give them the necessary kick. Too much time deliberating? This monster just remembered it can take a legendary action on your turn!
