#215 – Rules Talk: The Initiative Bubble Theory

from The Glitterbois

Read transcriptWe're back to another Rules Talk episode! This time, NPC presents a different take on handling the combat initiative flow in Palladium games, inspired by the "pair them off" concepts from the more recent rules books. Some of you may scoff at this, others may even already do this in their own games. We'd love to hear your thoughts, so please leave comments, or drop by Discord and let us know! Drop us a line!
