Step onto the battlefield and test your strategy with Gridlock, a turn-based, grid-based combat system inspired by classic tabletop RPGs. Whether you’re clashing steel, unleashing spells, or outmaneuvering rivals, every move matters.
===Features===
Six Weapon Classes - Choose your style of combat with:
- Dual Wield
- Weapon & Shield
- Two-Handed
- Ranged
- Magic
- Polearm
Each class comes with unique stats, abilities, and playstyles.
Player Count: Gridlock supports any number of players (2+). Battle friends or host larger skirmishes for epic showdowns.
Gridlock features Strategic Resource Management. Plan your moves each round:
Health: 30 HP, fully restored after combat.
Mana: 30 MP, regenerates 5 per turn (for spellcasting).
Armor: Determined by weapon, reduces your chance of being hit.
Action Points: 2 per turn, used for attacks, dashes, defenses, or magic.
Movement: Varies by weapon, with each move covering 1 grid square.
===How to Play===
Equip one of the six weapon sets (your class).
Rez the initiative tracker (if not already present).
Rez your token in the starting area and sit on it.
Roll for initiative using the tracker.
Once everyone has rolled, touch the tracker to begin combat or wait for the timer to go down.
From there, the grid is yours to conquer. Outsmart, outmaneuver, and overpower your opponents in tactical showdowns that reward strategy over speed.
================
Currently in BETA: Gridlock is fully playable, but still evolving. Expect updates, balancing, and new features as development (slowly) continues!

Tabletop-Style Combat & Easy To Setup
Gridlock is a unique take on combat systems in SL, turn-based and tabletop-esque.
It's been built in a way that lets it easily integrate with any sim and even interacts with the terrain if there are obstacles in the way of player movement.
The systems are easy to understand and quick to pick up, movement has a unique feel to it, as if moving a mini around a tabletop map, while combat actually has full animations for attacking, blocking, casting spells etc along with multiple classes and weapons included.
Incredibly easy to setup, understand and use, you can tell a lot of work went into this, so it's surprising that it's completely free! Definitely worth picking up to play around with or if you have an RP sim that needs a combat system, could save a lot of time on building your own.
5/5 Stars easy.
Great combat
i really like this style of combat and open play especially compared to many other systems in sl
more balance and ready to play out of the box
