UPDATE: the kickstarter campaign has just ended successfully. If you missed it, it's now available here including free core rules: https://www.nimble5e.com
Clarification: Players still roll initiative, but don't need to confer with the DM, theres no need to track it at all. Initiative merely determines how much you can do on your first turn. This ankheg has a bite attack that can grapple.
