-**IMPORTANT QUESTION:  ARE WE DOING "BY THE BOOK" or "SAVAGE WORLDS INITIATIVE?** 
  
-//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.**+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, they may take a turn for their character and all NPC retainers. The GM may choose to draw different cards for different individuals or groups of monsters.  
 + 
 +  * Joker: A player with a Joker can go whenever they want — even automatically interrupting another player's action if they wish. 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 for the next turn.

   * Spirits, such as ghosts, demons, etc. are not corporeal and thus cannot attack or be attacked by physical means.
