Turn order in role playing games gets extremely complicated... and problematic. As it happens, accepting a bit of chaos removers the need for that complexity AND solves a lot of potential problems.
Yes, I like it. Especially compatible with my current obsession with DC20 (though I may consider offsetting that bonus to acting on one's own turn with a all round increase in difficulty for everything 😉) It may even have utility outside of initiative, for those times when you're playing online or have a hastily assembled group of players who have never spoken with each other before, shy players or those who are excessively quarterbacking.
1. If you're thinking of upping all your DC's, maybe change the +2 on your turn to a -2 on other peoples turns instead. That way you don't have to remind yourself each time you set a DC. 2. I hadn't thought of the utility for new groups, to encourage shy players. I hope you're right!
I like it. A bit different than I’ve been doing it tho. I’ll run it by them & take a vote. I’ve found that while playing online. (Distance sucks) I have my players roll for online initiative, it’s easier to maintain who’s doing what.

Glad to hear you're exited about it.
Let me know how the test goes!
Interesting. 🙂
Glad you think so!
