[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 5845098, member: 29398"] Erm...not quite. A turn was 10 rounds, sure; but those rounds were a minute long each. Thus, 6 turns per hour. Each round had 10 6-second segments (if spellcasting) and 6 10-second segments (if doing other things); messy, and I long ago put everything on the 6-segment system. That said, I voted for 30-second rounds. The 1e standard of a minute always seemed too long (I went to 30-second rounds ages ago), but anything shorter and things that last in terms of minutes or "turns" break down. And, 30 divides nicely by 6 to give 5-second segments; where 20 seconds - the other option I seriously considered - doesn't. There is, however, one situation where I'd like to see rounds be about 3 or 4 minutes each; and that's ship-vs.-ship naval combat where things happen quite slowly in comparison to other types of combat. EDIT: I second this motion. Lanefan [/QUOTE]
