Totally get where you're coming from though, lol. 40 minutes on toppings is rough if you're the one who's starving and ready to eat, right? I've definitely sat through long talks about which Taco Bell sauce is superior when all I wanted was to roll initiative. A timer actually sounds like a decent middle ground, kind of like a hard limit for chit chat before the real game kicks off. It's nice when someone just says "okay, we're doing this now" so nobody feels bad about cutting off the banter.
