Because we all carry emotional baggage from our early gaming life; and Risus,
like any profound Truth, is too simple to be believed. My recent sojourn among
the heathen gamers had me abandon the One True Path to appease the unenlightened
gamers with rules for Character Classes, Hit Points and such.

Consider that many gamers I know don't use Fudge or FATE because they don't like
Fudge dice.

I understand the desire to tinker and play with rules. It a lot of fun to play with the rules to encourage the type of playing you want to do. But after much...

There you go, using logic and reason - the Devil's tools! The righteous rely on abject fear and blind obedience. A boy's best friend is his dogma. ... Sorry,...
