Re: Something Odd.........

> Anyways, enough rambling from me. I like the idea of additional punishments
besides just losing dice. It could make for much more intense battles, if PCs
new they could lose more than just their lives.

And nothing was set in stone.

>
> In the end, when it comes to house rules, all you have to do is ask 2
questions. Am I happy with the changes? Are my players happy with the changes?

Yes and Yes. Third time I've run this game this year. But the gamers are just as
happy running it in FAST.

Thanks Guy. I'm just swimming in a sea self pity; I'm either a push-over or a bully as a GM, just can't hit that happy medium. Everyone seems to enjoy the...

... Punitive damage is handed out after they lose a combat. Cliche dice regenerate after combat. If a PC 'loses' a Lucky Shot slot, that is for the rest of...

... Cliche dice regenerate only at the rate that the GM says they regenerate at. You, the GM, can say that the loss of cliche dice lasts for the rest of the...

I agree with Karl here on the "healing rate" for cliches. And for the skill bonuses, why not just buy Questing Dice and make them useful only with knives? Guy...

... The spring-back rule, gain back all dice after combat, is established in these one-off cinematic games. Punitive damage was just an off the cuff rule for...

While I agree that the Companion is well worth the money, I feel that I must point out that it is not required to play Risus (per Article XII). ;-) Larry From:...
