Kai Tave posted:I'm trying to think of games I've played that do this and I'm coming up blank. Like, I've played plenty of games where initiative and multiple actions were all kinds of hosed but I can't think of anything that use exploding dice on initiative specifically. Humbug knows. It was an alt-history supers game, something to do with a crater where half of Chicago used to be. Unfortunately for the group, I didn't actually do a snack run.

Kai Tave posted:Wait, hang on...are you talking about Brave New World, that superheroes game that Pinnacle put out? Did that actually have exploding initiative? I mean, it's a pretty bad game all over so it wouldn't surprise me if it did. I… think it was. At least based on a quick Google research run. Yeah, exploding initiative is great for speedster characters, or anyone that the dice can't possibly gently caress over two turns in a row. I think it was designed to mess with anyone who thought it shared any logic with Champions, where someone with extra points in Speed still had to be effective, and there was a fixed ratio to how many extra actions you got. When it's all up to the dice, you sit and watch a lot. Exploding initiative, not even once.
