The RPG Rundown

Combat systems shape how danger feels, how fast sessions move, and whether play turns tactical, cinematic, gritty, or heroic. On this episode of The RPG Rundown, Jeff & Seth break down combat as a conflict engine, pacing regulator, and tone setter—then explore complexity, tactical depth, lethality, action economy, initiative, and how mechanics can make fights feel like story beats instead of math puzzles.
