It required more frequent updates from me, so that's a trade-off, but those updates were smaller and easier to manage. It also made it a little more difficult to keep track of where we were in the combat round, since it tended to bleed over from one round to the next -- I kept having to refer back to the
>> markers I put in the combat table.
I still think it will pay off when we get to things like legendary actions and lair actions. And most importantly, it makes it easier to adjust when you all start using reactions -- it makes it easier to pinpoint when you want to use it, and it means I don't have to roll the post back as far to "undo" what was done.
We'll keep playing with it, and if it needs tweaking, we'll do so. :)
Frilia Silverstring:
It works if you have active players, that look often. Sometimes i can be a few days without even looking at rpol, I'll try to avoid doing that in combat.
That's an excellent point. I'll continue to tag people on discord for each of the combat rounds when their turn comes up.
