Tips for Running Narrative Combats: No Minis or Maps Required - Gnome Stew, the Game Mastering Blog
(from the blog)
Over in the Suggestion Pot, Gnome Stew reader renner asked us to write an article on this topic:
How do you handle a narrative combat? Mainly, if you are used to miniatures and maps, and don’t want to use them anymore.
Prior to D&D 3.0, the majority of RPGs used narrative combat — IE, combat that’s largely descriptive, with a sketchy map if a map is used at all. From D&D 3e’s launch onwards, battlemap-driven combat, complete with minis, grids, and tactical movement, has become much more common and popular. (For simplicity, I’m going to call the latter “tactical combat” from here on out.)
