Game time refers to durations relative to the characters. It is measured in seconds, minutes, hours, etc. Two additional periods are useful during play:

• Round: 10 seconds
• Turn: 10 minutes (60 rounds)

A real-time measurement useful for tracking the duration of game play is called a session:

• Session: 2–4 hours, the typical duration of an evening’s worth of play

Chimera is designed for use with tabletop miniatures, where 1” equals ten feet indoors and 10 yards outdoors.

Range and distance are noted in scale inches and refer to measurement relative to tabletop miniatures. Thus, 4” is four real inches on the gaming table, 40 feet indoors, and 40 yards outdoors.
