I've just discovered Risus. It looks like a fun, fast system I would like to use for "serious" games. But in "serious" games there are sometimes situations...
... Risus does, yes :) Do a search of the mailing list archives, and if you're still confoozled, drop a line again in a couple of days. It's really time to do...
... Ah, the archives. The compiled Risus wisdom of the ages. Or at least last week. ... Probably. We keep bringing up some of the same questions again and...
... I've toyed with the same idea, but haven't used it yet. You might combine it with the "Funky Dmage for Funky Dice" rule on my page, if you're working in ...
... That would help. I've been going through the old messages for the past couple of days, but this is a pretty active group. Of course, I didn't think to...
Hey everybody. I upgraded the Risus Character Generator just a teensy bit. I added dots under the cliches, so you can keep track of hoq many dice you've lost. ...
Hollis, The program looks great! Can't wait to try it out. A couple of thoughts: 1) Is there any way to share cliches amongst several genres without re-typing...
...and falls flat on his face. No sooner do I upload the new version last night than I get told that there's a bug in the old version. *sigh* Oh well, it's...
... Yeah, I saw your previous message. I'll probably go with the multiple TN/cliche reduction and see how it works. I'll be using funky dice for various...
Hey Y'all, I'm still lurking on this list and enjoying all the inspiration. Thanks! I still haven't gotten to run Risus, but I have a few friends interested...
I finally got the risusGM program posted on my website (updated slightly from the beta version to take advantage of updating the GUI to look nicer). You can...
... An Iaijitsu duel? ... You could still use a normal combat resolution for this. Something is happening between the two participants for those 16 panels....
... Not right now, but I'll keep it in mind. ... Again, not right now. But import/export abilities are on my 'to do' list. I've just taken on another big job....
I just noticed something. The Windows version of the Risus character generator is just about a year old. That means I've been able to keep my attention on a ...
... It is, because pumps are normally prohibited in single-action conflicts (for boring mathy reasons easily ignored by GMs who could care less about boring...
... Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep all 6 pages of Risus in memory? ... So I shouldn't have said double pump, just "pump". My point was that Travis...
... It's those sexy, distracting stick figures. ... Well it _is_ advanced. :) ... Only if you're using a house rule that dictates objective healing time. In ...
I realize that I had forgotten to describe what the risusGM program is about. In a nutshell, it is a database program for Risus (the data stored in simple XML...
Thanks for all the input guys. In my own 'defense' I would like to point out that I did mention simple single roll resolution.... SO THERE! HAH!!! ;-) Travis ...
If somebody involved in combat wants to take a moment and do something like, oh, defuse a bomb, or chase a fragile vial of antidote across a crowded floor,...
I have the Java Runtime 1.4 installed on my Win2K system, and still can't get RisusGM to work. Anybody else having this problem? Do I need another version of...
... You didn't say so, but I assume the character is in a Team ... If he isn't in a Team, there are no automatic consequences to leaving a fight (incidental...
... can't ... another ... No, 1.4 works just fine. Is the JRE perhaps not installed? Maybe you've installed an archive utility since installing Java? The...
Hi all! I found risus a week ago and have been devouring the information on the net. Played the ring of thieves to see if it would work, and I must say I'm...
... Every combatant attacks a foe in turn. That means (ignoring the two combatants waiting to fill in for fallen foes for now) You attack one foe, then one...
