Initiative Card

Postby Holz » Fri Oct 09, 2015 10:37 pm

Playing Fading Suns is fun.

Managing players, well... not so much, but it is part of the job.
Today I bring you the INITIATIVE CARDS!!!! 8-)

Simple to use and will make combat ten times faster (or so I hope!) :mrgreen:

The idea is that you can track the Initiative order of your players in a simple way. No writing on your notepad, boards, tags or screaming "Who got 16 on the dice, it is your turn?".

Write the name of the PC or NPC. Place the Dexterity and Wits stats, sum and then add or subtract any value from armor or spell that may interfere. After the players roll the dice and state their number, stack them in order and voilá (my french is terrible), simple order you can manage fast and easy.

Give me feedback and enjoy this another tool for GM and Players!!! :cheerleader:

Ooooo, thanks Holz. Might give these a go this week.

Something witty, pithy and observant ought to go here.

Oh well.

Updated the file making it better and added a table of reference for Initiative rolls (hope I got that one right!)

I'll delete the older version on the post above!

Any feedback will be welcome!

Forgot to supply some feedback - sorry Holz!

Not used the duration cards yet (that's exactly what I had in mind though) but the standard Initiative cards were a great help. I even kept the "deck" in my hand so the players weren't immediately aware of who was coming up next.

Good to know it worked! :D

I did the same thing. Held the cards on my hand... suspense on every roll!
