Editing Savage Sands (section)

=== House Rules ===

*Initiative: Initiative in Savage Worlds uses playing cards, which trigger various edges and effects (such as the Joker). We will still draw cards (rather, I'll draw cards and tell you what you get) to determine these effects, but the actual initiative will be using popcorn. First, a PC goes, then an NPC (or group of identical extras), then a PC, etc., and switches back and forth until everyone has gone. This is because, in my experience, it makes play-by-post games go much faster instead of waiting for individual people's turns to come up. People can go when they're available, instead of waiting for both their turn to come up and for them to be available. Note: this was unabashedly stolen from Falkus. Thanks!
*Fully automatic, or semiautomatic guns jam often. Any critical failure when using a gun of this qualification results in a jam, necessitating a repair roll as an action to clear. For this reason in addition to easier maintenance, revolvers, lever action rifles, and the like are far more commonplace. Note: this is open to debate if it becomes untenable.
