There was one point in time where the rogue (assassin) was hiding and waiting for an opportunity to use his sneak attack/assassinate ability (while the others were attacking with ranged weapons and moving back to draw the enemy to him.When it reached that point the rogue and his target rolled a quick initiative to see if his strike (which had a good chance of taking it out) occurred first, which it did.So I'd say that at this point, I'm using round-based actions (as everybody still gets to act in the 6 second round), but the events are roughly simultaneous. Initiative rolls are used on an as-needed basis to resolve specific situations when it's important to know whose action is completed first.That last sentence is an important distinction, I think. Normal initiative is concerned with who gets to start their action first.There was one point where a couple of players were half paying attention while they 'waited for their turn.' But that's not really a new issue, and it's likely to become less and less of an issue since things move more quickly when everybody is essentially acting simultaneously. Not as much waiting.Ilbranteloth</blockquote>
