[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1845608, member: 478"] One round at a time, things are changing too fast and I like to leave the decisions to the players. With 6 players (with few exceptions), we manage to do one combat round per day or per two days at most (sometimes even two rounds in one day) in my current PbP game, so that's definitely fast enough. Also, the last combat round (quite large combat with 6 PCs and 18 NPCs on a torch-lit graveyard - [url=http://www.abiwolnzach02.com/ruins/map/32x32/map020304.htm]Take a look![/url]) took me about 1.5 hours to complete with all the (virtual) dice rolling, map updating, writing... which really is more than enough time to spend on that stuff in one evening. ;) In an incredibly straightforward combat, I could see multiple rounds at one time to speed things up (and have done this already in a combat against only 3 opponents (and only one of them was actually dangerous), where the dice rolling was so bad, that it took 17 :eek: rounds to defeat them), but in general one round at a time is my preference for sure. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
