Taking Action — Advanced Old School Revival

Table of Contents Jump to Page in Core Rules

These are the sort of actions you take in overworld play.

Strategic Phase

At the beginning each session, players decide what is happening in the overworld. You do this by creating global story tags that describe the action allied factions are taking. The GM goes last (acting on behalf of enemies and neutral factions), and the players roll overworld checks to see how successful they are in their efforts.

Overworld Checks

Military Phase

If there is military action to be had, the players act first and the GM acts last. Each player can either take any of the actions described below. The GM may take as many actions on his turn as his players have actions. When the GM takes strategic action, the GM automatically succeeds, unless there is direct opposition or intervention from the players.

If there are units on the map, at the end of each turn, the players may move any remaining units on the map that have not acted, and then the GM does the same.
