Alternate Initiative System

Who Goes First? 

Each character can only take one action at a time, the order of these actions is determined by rolling 2d6 and adding your Awareness score to the total. The character with the highest total goes first, and then it goes down incrementally until all sides have acted in the conflict. The Gamemaster goes through this list in order, and the players and villains take their turn when it’s their part of the Action Round. For example, the Gamemaster roughly knows what the players have planned, so starts from the top. “Okay, any characters act on an 18?”
