Greetings, 

 I want to throw a ball out there. A ball that suggests combat that while expressed creatively, exploits the typical mechanics of a D&D battle preferably 3.5e to save us from that typical bullshit of I swing, I miss, you swing, you miss that I've noticed happens all the time. More importantly, I've noticed it happen in my first battle here since I've returned from guildfall many moons ago that physics and common sense environmental interactions are ignored. So in order to avoid that nonsense I would rather throw the D&D mechanics in there to help things move along fairly. Let's be realistic, the important part is the writing correct? I'd rather lose fairly and write it out in an epic fashion than win after a month of back and forth ninja shit where a single doesn't ring true. 

 So here is my proposal, one on one level one combat. I will create an on site dice roller for our use only. And more importantly just use common sense with the mechanics. Obviously, for attacking it will be your to hit roll plus modifiers versus my armor class et cetera. If you are attempting let's say, swinging from one tree branch to another in a game of cat and mouse you'd roll your own acrobatic checks. Or if you are trying to climb something than you make your own climb check and so on then write appropriately. If you're jumping through trees with some natural 20s than you're a fucking monkey ninja. But if you are struggling to make 9s on a climb check you can see the struggle. 

 If tis is of interest to anyone I'd be more than willing to oblige further information to share character sheets et cetera. 

And as always, concerns, comments and questions are welcome.
