Indeed he was - we both say it from time to time ;)

I know my posts come off as defensive - and I don't mean to be, I just want to make sure the idea is not dismissed (by anyone) as not different enough or of only good use as a problem solving tool - it is cool in many different ways, for different reasons. This method of initiative management...

There's more to it than that though. It's not simply a fix DM's can use for bad/easily distracted players. I know you aren't saying exactly that, but your responses read like it. It is a method (in my experience) that benefits groups of any level of experience, and in more ways than simply...

/shrug I was describing it recently to someone as follows... The 'individual init' system (the standard setup) results in one player "leaning in" at a time - engaged in the setup, and plotting his moves. The rest of the group has no incentive to "lean in"... they are all sitting back, waiting...

Exactly! As far as rules go, it works as per RAW. BUT, using this system has benefits that you are not getting by going off individual init roles. I would explain but... I did already in the 3rd post. <edit> Just realized your response may have only been to the OP and not my own - if that's...

If there's two groups and their bonus is close, yea I average them. If the bonus's are farther apart, or if there are three and the highest is far apart from the others, I will use the lower bonus (or the middle bonus in the case of 3 different bonus) and roll twice choosing the higher roll...

Been doing this for a long while now. Here's my write-up from back then (here at EN World)... Basically PC's/Creatures roll initiative. Those players who beat the creatures go (if any do) then the creatures go (all of them) then back to ALL PC's including those who got to go before the...

I'm telling you, it's Azeroth... :p

Haha, nice. I added the term "Poo Guilt" there a while back (you will see "The Weem" as the author) :p Anyway, I would mention it if I thought the player would change it - but if I thought they would not, then I know it would be a distraction (in my game) and I would probably not say anything...

Yep, gonna have to roll goblin-style on this one as well ;)

Quick tests as I pass through... Firefox: Perfect Chrome: Perfect Safari: Perfect IE7: Not great. It let's me edit it, and it updates correctly on the site, but when I go to edit it each time (no matter what I change it to) it is showing (in the field) as the version I had when I started...

I absolutely LOVE smaller groups. I ran a very long 2e campaign with 3 players. My current and previous 4e campaigns have 4 players, but I could easily do 3 (assuming a balanced group). 3 players is actually my favorite number, followed closely by 4 - you can put even more focus into their...

Looking forward to checking this out ;)

Your FLGS may give you store credit for them. It won't be much, but obviously they aren't selling even at a really low price. Another idea might be to list them on craigslist for sale or perhaps for trade.

No one mentioned a 'mirror' that I recall. I mean, I suppose it is not 'critical', but for me it was something I ALWAYS made sure I had, and it came in handy at times ;)

I have been curious about this for a while - not sure who would want to hear my games, but I have liked the idea of giving this a try. I know my players would be into it. Great information, thanks all ;)

Quoted ;)

I ran across this site today and thought it had interesting potential for those who want to quickly sell a PDF of their own creation. It's called... tinypay.me Essentially, you don't need an account. You simply input some quick information (title, description, upload a PDF if its a file you...

Good question - was wondering this myself recently ;)

I'm working on it ;)
