great concepts! 5e combat usually is a slog, but this seems to take care of that.

I dont care what people say, this is a very interesting system and I'm attempting to use it with Mork Borg, so far its been excellent! I'v been looking for alternative combat systems!

Ok, I like the ideas of speeding up combat. Can I offer another idea? Why is everything on the planet sticking around until it dies? Does nothing use instinct anymore? Old school D&D used a morale system. This aided in what the reaction of monsters would do when they reached a certain level of damage. The Ahnkeg you have presented when it was close to dying, could have used it's instincts and just left the group, so it lives to find a meal another day. It seems that in modern games, every creature has lost all desire to remain alive. Your system seems fast and fairly intuitive. I wish you the best in your endeavor.

I just stumbled on this. I'm not a fan of WotC or 5e, but I have to say, big kudos for Nimble. This looks like a fantastic overhaul of the system. Looking forward to the upcoming backerkit project.

This is nice, I like the idea. It definitely solves and accelerates a lot of 5e's problems.. But also makes me want to just play Pathfinder 😅

OK, maybe not the comment you were expecting but SFX and your voice have rather soothing effect on me, almost like ASMR 😅

at this point it isnt d&d anymore, its a different system that has a closer resemblance to pathfinder

This looks like how abed ran the game in that community episode

sounds like pathfinder ngl

Is this video a remake of the one from 6 months ago?

This is really cool!

When did anyone roll for initiative? I thought the PCs always go first?!

Seems like the dungeon coach's system

haven't you done this already

“It’s basically a new game it’s basically pathfinder weh weh.” Good. I say good, normal D&D IS a slog after you’ve played the same way for years, this is is just a cool alternative way to play, why is everyone pointing out the obvious that it’s different, that’s the point.

This is like "easy dnd"? What is this system?

"You get the best 5e experience by not playing 5e" is a take which was hot maybe a year ago.

This is basically a different game (which is fine, but still).

This is not the best D&D combat ever, this is Nimble Co.'s TTRPG combat system using dnd character sheets. Nimble, of course, finds it very exciting because it makes combat faster. There are dozens of ways to invest your players in combat, and making it faster COULD be one of them, especially if your campaign is more like a video game than a story, but if that's the case, why not play a video game? I stopped watching at the 6 minute mark because I realized this would be impossible to implement unless I was starting a brand new game. All of the problems this system aims to solve could be solved by just having... prepared players. Don't like waiting for your players to find their info or physical game tools? They have them ready to go. Initiative taking too long to roll and establish? A piece of paper with a number line on it; your players roll and place a marker on the line. As a DM, you can roll initiative and just put it next to the monster's stat block before the session instead of rolling in the moment. Hate using normal rules for armor class and hitting? Announce the monster's AC and the players can roll when it's not their turn. It boggles me that you had to invent a new system to figure out a way to run a DND game efficiently - this says more about the way you play DND than the game itself. Also, as a side note, opportunity attacks are always a decision, not just something that slows the game down, because many players have multiple uses for a reaction. The decision you speak of is on YOUR part as the DM, who is playing the monster and deciding whether or not is is intelligent enough to do the risk reward calculus of running. All of that aside, your 'changes' to the game completely invalidate countless subclass and class features. It is incompatible with the game of DND as written. I'm sure there are many people who would love the new game you've created, and I'm not critizing that new game, but please don't advertise this as DND combat.
