(1) All dice are rolled at once. Or pre-rolled. Don't roll your attack, check if it hits, then roll damage. Roll them all at once and then check. Or for online, roll while the person before is resolving.

(2) Make sure everyone knows what to do on their turn. Put in a time limit if you have to. But players should have their actions ready when their turn comes.

(3) Have monsters share initiative. The mooks act on the same initiative. Speeds things up. Again, roll them all at once.
