Turn-based mode #7

Open C-3PFLO opened 4 months ago

It feels weird to play multiple rounds of combat in the "What do you do next?" mechanic, especially if there are many possible actions a user can take.

It's also unsatisfying to resolve the complete combat in one user choice, especially if it goes poorly. Readers will want to play out each step.

Might need something like a "story mode" and a "combat mode", or more generally a "turn-based mode"

This mimics D&D where you role play as an unstructured back-and-forth out of combat, but then "role for initiative" and "enter turn-based mode" for combat or other highly-tactical encounters.

For the first story, use the standard story mode and just adjust the encounters to be 1-3 turns maximum.

Then revisit this.
