What is “The List?”
Each after initiative is rolled, the player who wins initiative is set as The List’s action. Before any player’s action, roll 100% dice (or a D100). Look that number up on the list and perform whatever action is listed under that number. That player then takes their turn as normal. Roll the List before that set player goes again as action rotate around the table.
