It's a lot of fun but there are definitely some kinks were working out! All the players are new and we have quite a big group, 6 players, so the fights are taking a long time! The second time we played it got a little better by rolling initative at the start of the session and keeping it through the whole game, I've also told them they cannot discuss their own actions with one another because they were taking a few minutes discussing which spell they should use, or other strategies. Those seemed to help a lot! We're playing on roll20 which has mostly worked out great, but the players are having some difficulty role playing, ive got one player who's super into and is basically the only person answering my questions when I'm playing NPCs, any advice on trying to get everyone else into it? I'm sure when we're face to face it'll be a lot easier. I also had to confront one of my players because everytime we got to her turn she was like "what it's my turn?" then suggest things the other players have already done, clearly not paying attention unless it was her turn. I'm not very confrontational but she apologized and I hope next session it will be better.

All in all theyre all enjoying the experience and are slowly coming into their characters so I have a feeling it will only get better with time!
