More narrative focus

For those who have never done RPG combat...

• So, you guys jump in - punches! kicks! blood! pain!
• Wait, wait, wait, let's slow this down.
• You each get a turn and your turn lasts (six? two? three?) a few seconds
• We're gonna take a long time to describe something that only took less than one minute

2d6 opposed rolls Situational modifiers based on immediate damage.

2d6 + combat = initiative Nah, fuck initiative. Whatever makes sense for action order and GM discretion.

YOU NEED TO JOT DOWN EVERYONE'S NAMES AND DAMAGE Have them write wounds, too?

DON'T SAY AN ATTACK MISSED!! DESCRIBE A DEFENSE!!

Attacker... 2d6 + weapon skill = attack VS Target... 2d6 + combat = defense (Later on, I'll include weapon attack and damage modifiers and armor modifiers.)

Missed attacks should be creative - blocks, dodges, counter attacks(?)

Successful attack 1d6 damage, which does not subtract from a total but clarifies, for narrative purpose, what kind of damage was dealt.

Examples...

• 1d6 = 6 = Your punch to his face connects to his nose and there's a crunching sound and blood pours down his chin
  • Or this could be a KO
• 1d6 = 3 = Your punch to his face connects solidly to his left eye
