Get to the shooting, I always say.

(thumbs up) Can't argue with that.

I don't. I tried this for a bit, but it was just too hard to keep track of. There is also the issue of players not necessarily knowing how many actions they want to take when the round begins.

Goo ...

I have each player and important npc, and roll for groups of minions.

I use a more D20 like initiative in my game. The players go in initiative in the order they rolled and they can take as many ac ...

Dose anybody use different rules for initiative?

Would the game still work if it wasn't the "one side goes then the other" and it was changed to something more like the "normal" ...

I have a lot of the metal minis (like 25 or so packages worth), still in their packages even. They're cool and all but I've painted/put together a total of 1 package, some rebel pilots. What do I use ...

My first GM had a rule that skills written on your sheet were skills you had practiced while skills not written on your sheet are rolled at -1D until the end of the adventure. At the end of the adven ...

Cool! Dose he know that they already did that? I mean, didn't they? D6 Fantasy. I didn't see it mentioned in his post, unless I missed it.

I totally get what you're saying which is why in this case I almost want to ...

Sorry I realize I didn't clarify something- When I say "take out the lowest die", I mean up to the damage zone dice. So, roll then; 5D=Full damage then >take out 1 (the lowest) die for 4D ...

I've never read it that you roll the damage separately against each target in the AOE, just that each blast zone is rolled separately.

That's what I was trying to say. If you have two different c ...

Grenades seemed like the "fix-all" for my players in combat this last adventure I ran. Some things came up and i had some ideas.

The damage seemed strange to us that you had to roll damag ...

I'd strongly recommend you consider

I like your solution!
I wish there was a different stat, like AC, that's used for absorbing damage. Seems like you might be on the right track. I think fr ...

Sorry it's taken so long, it's just taken that long to get the group back together.

I've been really excited to try out some of the tips given here. I'm running a module so I decided to keep it sim ...
