Bang. "Mr X went down, dropping his sword, his right shoulder agony from a serious wound. He wasn't able to do anything but roll on the floor until someone dragged him away from there." Simplify, simplify, speed up, speed up. Those would be the two key things for me.<br/><br/>Sorry to be tough on you my sweet but if I'm even aware dice are being rolled I'm outta there. It needs it to be that simple and that seamless for me.<br/><br/>Also the system you are describing is still thinking inside the box, you're still using the L5R system, only simplified. It needs to be even simpler than that I think.<br/><br/>To get an idea of a system at work that the players do not see or even think about read this section from here (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=69278.msg3168102#msg3168102) down to around post #160. As you can see the players are writing freeform and the GM is handling all the die rolls and handing the results of the combat back in the form of freeform posts.
