Me and a few of my partymates had the message cantrip, and I pointed out that due to the cantrip's effects, we can virtually "have a telepathic group chat" via those of us who have the cantrip. At first, I tried to stick to the illusion that I act as an intermediary to those in my range but doesn't have the cantrip, and that I identify myself ("Megane here... blah blah blah") before I speak up. The more it went on, the facade broke and we were just discussing strategy under the assumption that it's "message-mediated". The DM allowed it, and later gave all party members an artifact to that has the following effects: - anyone with the artifact can telepathically send a message to everyone else who has the artifact (within range) - those who have the artifact can hear any and all such messages sent through the artifact (within range) Later on, even the range stipulation was handwaved off (within limits—basically those who are in the same scene are assumed to be in range of each other). Near the end of the campaign, the DM reminded us through an NPC that we're all "staring off into the distance" whenever we use this telepathic "group chat". We basically forgot to talk to each other normally (in character).

For your group I would have a DM screen and a DM stick. The screen to obscure roles, notes and and have all that nifty quick reference stuff on the inside. The stick so I can wack anyone tryin his bullshit. Week one it would started as a padded wiffle bat. And each week it would be upgraded to a more solid and rougher hitting object

I have a friend who plays a sorcerer who abuses the hell out of Mold Earth, Shape Water, and Create Bonfire. RAW most of the things he gets away with shouldn't work, but the DM rarely calls him on it. His most egregious attempt was when he tried to basically part a sea Moses style by casting Create Bonfire and expanding the flame with Control Flames, intending to evaporate all the water occupying the space of the flames. This was too much even for our otherwise pretty lenient DM.

This sounds like it would quickly spiral into the other kind of dungeon with stocks and whips

If I wrote a CRPG game, like an ASCII roguelike or something, I would totally include a spell that makes the target shit its pants. You could make that work, it would even be a useful thing in combat. Vampire lord misses a turn because he just shat his pants.
