I think a lot of people are missing the nuance here. This isn't for when your characters are all engaged and roleplaying with each other, or having meaningful discussions. If the group wants to spend an hour on camp roleplay, playing poker with each other in character, or hunting, and everyone is actively engaged and having fun. The DM should generally let that happen, or even provide situations within that to enhance it. What this is, is the nuclear option for when players start arguing in circles, and some players are actively getting frustrated/disengaging. For when you have players who want to make everyone's lives miserable by going shopping, and trying to talk down the price of EVERYTHING, or when they come up to a fork in the path and spend an hour arguing over which way to go. Sometimes players just need a nudge so they don't get in the way of their own enjoyment.

Oh man.. This is SUCH a good tip.. Pacing aside, it also totally bypasses having to play out the menial tasks players would do, which I've had eat up a full hour sometimes. Esp when you don't know their intentions, the players just narrate wanting to go into town, then finding the market, then talking with the shopkeeper or whoever, (sometimes its an NPCs house to tell them something), and any interesting flavour text or world-building you come up with might draw them to get distracted, then another player wants to join, then the others want to narrate what they would've been doing, and on and on and on...

Could not agree more! I am stealing the quote: "When the fun is gone, move on!" I love a good rhyme. Sometimes what happens between the cool moments adds something to the narrative - what resources did the characters gain or find, what did they find out in their studies - these things can add a great deal of agency to how the characters interact with encounters (social, hazardous, and violent). This is why my game has Downtime Actions. We move the narrative along at a good pace at the table, and when the fun is gone, we move on, but I let them know they have been awarded DT Actions for these various breaks at the end of a session or during a short break and the players can spend them to have their characters interact with these fictional elements during the intermission. It also gives me time to track in game time, which can be tedious to do on the fly. Doing it in retrospect really allows me to fine tune what resources the characters have, which can help in area/dungeon level pacing when the action starts back up again!

Say they get the quest and decide to faff about for who knows how long getting into roleplay scenarios or shopping or whatever, as long as the quest isn't specifically time sensitive it doesn't matter to much, but just like all roads leading back to Rome, all story lines lead to the next major plot point

I'm in a campaign that we've been playing for a bit over a year. It was fun for the longest time, but we're at a point where the campaign could've ended months ago if the DM wasn't constantly introducing new side quests. The other players are having fun, but personally I haven't been having much fun anymore. Our characters have been level 20 constantly getting more and more OP homebrew items for months, and we're one party decision away from ignoring other quests and going straight to the BBEG. I just want us to get all the side quests over with so we can beat the BBEG by now because I was excited to fight him, then out of nowhere it's just side quest after side quest as soon as the DM finds out we basically just want to make sure everything is taken care of so we can fight the BBEG. I don't want to quit the campaign, but at the same time it doesn't feel fun anymore and just feels like a day where I listen to someone talk about something I have no interest in. Yes, I WAS having fun, but not anymore. What I think is currently going on is I entered a campaign where everyone is close friends with the DM, and the DM is having fun, and the players see it as an escape from reality, whereas I see D&D as fun Dice game where I can blast stuff with magic (and last time I referred to D&D as a dice game my whole group got pissed off at me until I apologized, even the DM didn't want to talk with me until the other players made him cool his jets). I feel out of place in the group, and feel like the DM is trying to prioritize his own fun with all the references to stuff he likes being put in our game whether we get them or not, and the other players just so happen to still be having fun. I don't know what to do in this situation because the fun is there for others and not me, but if I got what I found fun I know the rest of the party would not have fun. Yet despite all this, I truly don't want to quit the campaign because the character I made for the campaign my DM helped me fall in love with playing, and he made NPCs that I absolutely adored, but we're now at a point where I don't feel passionate about the campaign anymore.

Honestly, communication go's a long way, even if its just a text conversation, at least you got it out there. Sounds like the campaign has been going on for awhile, if you're all level 20 now. nothing wrong with wanting to wrap it up and take a break for awhile. if they wanna keep going after you leave thats fine. maybe you can jump back in at a later point.

I think its important what they actually want to do with that. If it is character growth between the party members, let em have it. If they are talking about the weird nuances of quantum physics, its probably safe to skip ahead just a bit. I actually tend to fast forward a bit unless there is something of note during travel, and I will also ask my players “you have some downtime during the travels ahead, is there anything you want to do?” Usually this acts as a cue for them to get any good character beats in like pray to their god or talk to their pets and stuff before we move on too fast. If they all shake their heads then we can move on nice and easy.

Towards the end when you ask what to do against the sword move, I am pretty sure dodgeroll forward is the answer as a hardcall. As in, you do it by the same startup and you should move closer as she moves closer and whiffs. Problem is if she goes for that low instead and hits while rolling. As a Charlotta player, range is always my issue and dodgeroll forward usually is my go to answer to everything that spaces me out. *(Dangerous but how will I win without facing danger!)* NOTE: Ladivas dodgeroll is 4f slower than the rest of the cast, it might not work for you.

Shoe horning players isnt a good option. its better to ad lib a low quality session that players dictate instead of running some stale cookie cutter unit everybody can predict once they see the first enemy. if you want them to do X, and they wander through the forest- punish them a little. have the trail they are walking in collapse into a pit and have them fighting an enraged bug bear. NPCs can drop hints or straight up request the party into the right area. you can easily steer people in the right direction just by describing an option for them to pursue. if they dont take the hint, let them exhaust a few other options in the area, and remind them of what things they havent investigated yet.

The fact you can't tell the difference between railroading and the advice that he's giving here, sounds like a you problem. Being self-aware when a scene is dragging on too long, and is not remotely helpful to the plot, is not the same thing as completely railroading your players. The truth is that many players will get bored during certain spans of time, so doing your part to assist in skipping this, is actually helping to prevent them from getting burnt out. Plus the fact that he is giving them a chance to say what they may have done in between, is obviously not the same thing as forcing them through a certain set of actions. If you personally have troubles implementing something like this without railroading then that might be something that you need to work on.

@@SuperLamarrio64DS it depends on how often your group plays but if your group is really into RPGs and want a really deep and interesting setting. I would try Fading Suns fourth edition. If you guys are prone to shorter games or one shots then call of Cthulhu would be a better choice.

Wow such a wonderful tip in case of emergency Railroad 😅 You could just talk to the players instead of cutting your players, garbage take

This is essentially "You're in a bar. What do you do. Go" All this tells me, as a player who has tried and failed to finish 5 different campaigns because the DM couldnt figure out how to make filler time, is that you need to be a better DM. You're literally making up an ENTIRE universe, but you cant push your script out for an hour? I've had whole sessions, 4-5 hour sessions, where the only actual progress is moving from literally one building to another. Its possible, if the DM is creative. It's lazy, its forced, and it makes the players feel like the dont actually have control.

Not a chance my players would tolerate such blatant railroading.

That... doesn't really seem like great advice. I guess it depends on the kind of players you have, but railroading them by having them skip something they were actively taking part in, even if unrelated to the quest, can give them the feeling that what they do really doesn't matter. I know I wouldn't like it.
