Races, Chases, and Standoffs
Using the Five-Stage Chase Structure to Bring Drama and Excitement to Your Game
CHASES! They are a pain point in most Table Top Role-Playing Games (TTRPG). Many game systems have a rule set for running a chase, and most tables run them.
Chases are a core element in any action-oriented adventure after all, yet these chases lack the excitement...the intensity...the fun a chase should deliver.
There is a better way!
The Five-Stage Chase structure distills the essence of those heart-pounding, pulse-racing, cinematic chase scenes we all love into a simple framework.
Races, Chases, and Standoffs gives you the tools to add some simple steps for running the chase that excites the players and gets their adrenaline pumping.
