 +====Initiative==== 
 + 
 +Grab a deck of standard playing cards (make sure to 
 +leave both Jokers in) and deal one to each player including the GM.  
 +Now count down from the Joker to the Ace and on 
 +down from there. To resolve ties, Spades come first, 
 +then Hearts, Diamonds, and lastly Clubs. When a player's 
 +card comes up, it gets to act. 
 + 
 +  * Joker: A player with a Joker can go whenever they 
 +want — even automatically interrupting another unit’s 
 +action if it wants. Better still, they may reroll one die of their choice during the turn (attacks, saves, or damage)! After a turn where one or more Jokers are dealt, the deck is reshuffled.
