[QUOTE="mvincent, post: 2953656, member: 27034"] 1) DM uses "DM's familiar" computer program (handles full attacks with a single click) 2) Players roll attack and damage at the same time 3) Players track damage taken by each monster (for the DM). Amounts are written on the battle-mat. 4) Some quick initiative methods: a) DM roll it via computer program b) Delegated to a player for tracking c) Small magnetic board used d) DM has one initiative roll for all the monsters, so all the players effectively go as a group (in any order they wish, since delays action could allow this anyway). 5) The next person in initiative order is alerted before his turn (so he can be ready with an action, or even have the attacks already rolled) 6) Players that are not ready should allow the next person to go (then jump back in when they are ready). 7) If used, have miniatures picked out before the game 8) I agree: Tact-tiles are truly excellent. 9) A wire 20' radius template (from Steel Sqwire) has proved itself to be even more excellent for me.
