FFG Star Wars
In reply to snayke_eiyes (msg # 6):
Well the last game I took part in you took initiative as you normally would. But instead of each player being restricted to their place in the order whoever posts first would take the first initiative slot for players etc...
That means the game isn't held up waiting for whoever had the best roll for initiative to post.
The second would be to make use of a sort of standard checks table. So for each skill you'd have certain things that are: Easy(1D), Average(2D), Hard(3D), Daunting(4D), Formidable(5D). This isn't so much combat related just make things easier for the GM as players don't need to ask the difficulty of every little check they want to make for most tasks.
Obviously this is all best worked out with the players if we get a game going. I think particularly if everyone starts neutrally aligned it has the potential for some interesting interactions if some remain so and others end up full dark side or whatever.
Let me know if you want to set it up and we can work through it and see what you're wanting exactly.
