Yeah, the grapple rules are kinda crazy, but hey, it beats 1st edition AD&D!
Ha! True.
In my opinion, Pathfinder's grapple rules would be fine with a couple pretty simple changes.
2) If you are the Controlling Grappler at the start of your round, and succeed on a Grapple check to Injure, you can take a Full Attack as a Move action.
2) Constrict deals damage upon a successful grapple check once per round
These aren't playtested, so there's probably some feat interactions I'm not considering, but I think it solves the silliness with all the letting go and re-grabbing, and the problem where the non-controlling grappler is the only one that can full attack.
Take care of yourself, GM. Don't worry about us. We'll still be here when you're feeling better.
Just an announcement, I'll be joining my family on a trip to Florida from the 11th to the 20th, so please feel free to bot my character in my absence.

I'm going to be on short notice until Monday. I have a con this weekend (CONTRAflow in New Orleans) and I'm prepping for it now. So if I am holding things up, please go ahead and bot me, and I'll be back in action next week, though I will try to check in as often as possible. If you are in the area or attending, I'm running three Savage Worlds scenarios: a science-fiction romp titled Moon at the Edge of Oblivion, a weird west session called Night of the Grizz, and a sneak peek at the upcoming Deadlands: Dark Ages called Sins of the Father.
Checking in
Ill get my turn and my phantoms turn done today.
I have RETURNED from the fairy-tale kingdom of the southern lands (i.e. Florida), and shall begin catching up post-haste!
Hey GM, it looks like the troll climbing out of the pit shoudl trigger Gate's readied attack. Would that action go off before or after the Troll attacked Lorant?
Ouch! <_<
