| | //If we are going OSR why not use 5TD initiative? I love [[http://lordsofhack.com/gloomwrought/doku.php?id=house_rules|LOH initiative]], though. We could try [[https://youtu.be/y_mxYKzEjms|this]]?// **I think we've gone far beyond OSR purity by this point, I don't like the fixed cycle. I'd like to do Straight Savage World playing cards--I love the speed of it and the unpredictability, ignoring DEX (it already has so many other benefits) maybe give 2 draws as a Special Feature card. Jokers giving +2 to all dice rolled for the turn (attacks, saves, damage). I looked at the Professor Dungeon master video, but it didn't really float my boat. I like me some turn based wargamey action, although I am not unwilling to try it as an experiment at some point, it might change my mind.** |
