Boar Hunt 2nd
Coral Black Joker Catalena AC Lord Foxglove KH Selaim JD Dire Boar 5C Zak 4S Aendell 3C
As an example, Coral would go, and then Cat. I might interject a post as necessary, but mostly PCs go till an NPC is in the mix.
So in the example above the first two could go, and then I could post as Foxglove, then the remaining four.
But with popcorn initiative I would post after each person, and they could go in any order. We wouldn't worry about the cards other than to introduce specials like activate Edges, or offer the +2 like the joker does.
So using the same initiative but doing it popcorn style, any PC could post, then I would, then another who hasn't gone, could. Then I would, etc... till all PCs have gone.
Does that help?
We don't have to do it. I just thought it might offer more flexibility given we are all on at different times. | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,450 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,450 Likes: 5 | Ok, so the popcorn style is there is no order?
I mean, I guess my thought is we have a hard time already with people getting missed even with a defined order and it seems like it would just exacerbate that? But that's just my opinion.
I also think a lot of mechanics are built into the turn order system, that would just become useless or could be readily exploited. Like, if I do something that puts me at a penalty until the next turn in exchange for a benefit, but then act quick enough that the penalty is never applied. | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,055 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,055 Likes: 10 | Correct, it just allows you to post when you have time. But we don't loose the cards because they still play a role in different effects. Hmm, good point. The game that uses this, has a tracker, which you toggle on or off that you have taken an action. Maybe we should stick with it as it is, and I will keep track like I have been with strike throughs. Another good point. Who gave you all the brains today. Strike that and ignore it, don't have to reverse it. | | | | Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 Arssanguinus Moderator | Arssanguinus Moderator Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 61,254 Likes: 3 | Yah. Had an odd schedule recently | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,450 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 1,450 Likes: 5 | Not to change how the scene is going, Zeim, but Aendell had gained 50gp just that morning, if he's figuring he only has 9cp to spend. 1gp is 100cp. So he's offering 0.2% of money he just got. Which is totally FINE but I'm going to RP it and wanted to make sure you hadn't just forgotten about that part. | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,143 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,143 Likes: 8 | | | |
