My girlfriend is really slow at text roleplaying. It’s been getting worse, and today we got mad at her because we went two hours in her game without any plot happening during a session where everyone was in voice call.

Do you have any advice for her on how to improve the pacing of her game?

Simple. Either do play by post (where everyone does their thing in their own time), or dont play via text at all. Hybrid formats will often lead to frustration. If youre frustrated that shes so slow, shes frustrated everyone is mad at her, then no one is actually having fun.
