[QUOTE="haiiro, post: 1774706, member: 1891"] Thanks again for the good suggestions, all. :) I'm definitely going with "post in any order, act in initiative order," but I haven't yet made up my mind about condensing enemy initiative (to avoid PC/NPC/PC/NPC...) or posting an update mid-round. At present, only one PC in the party has a good initiative bonus, so I could pretty easily do "him, enemies, rest of party," assuming he's OK with always posting first. Heck, maybe we'll just try posting in loose initiative order -- the more I think about it, the more that better approximates tabletop combat. Otherwise, the players don't know when to expect the NPCs to act. Hrm. Edit: I guess where I'm really headed is a follow-up question: How do you approach monster and enemy NPC posts in combat? Short of doing something like always having the baddies post first, it seems like the only thing that would work is posting in initiative order. [/QUOTE]
