Right, girls and boys, welcome to Chapter One. Where shit just got real.
Someone has just shot Harry Rothstein (who has also somehow caught fire) and two rather scary-looking vampires have just come bursting through the doors waving knives in a manner that does not suggest they want to be friends with you.
YES, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT'S VIOLENCE O'CLOCK.
You guys know the rules for V:tM's combat system, I'm guessing, but to streamline things a little bit for a forum set-up I'm changing things a little bit, as follows.
Everyone rolls INITIATIVE (Dexterity + Wits), but rather than it following the usual 'this guy's turn, then this guy's turn' method we'll go for a FIRST COME FIRST SERVED approach. That is to say, each of your rolls will count as a PLAYER TURN that anyone can take, mixed in with ENEMY TURNS where your attackers react, and so on. It'll look a little like this.
Player Turn
Player Turn
Enemy Turn

This should help speed up combat (which can drag out like fucking crazy in a forum setting) so we don't get bogged down in it and lose interest. I'm also gonna be bringing in a requirement for at least ONE POST A WEEK, so we keep the momentum of this fight going. If you can't post, let me know, or else you will be hijacked and so on.
RIGHT THEN, MOTHERFUCKERS, ROLL INITIATIVE.
