The list has become rather quiet so here's one for ya: There is no wrong way to play Risus ...but I really don't care for the Fate-invasion of cliché building...
I agree completely., epecially with the "I'm a ..." part. However, there's no wrong way t play. Guy ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
S John's article "Anatomy of a Clche" might prove useful to illustrate the tremendous versaility of a cliche. http://unclebear.com/?p=677 [Non-text portions of...
... Okay, how about these for cliches . . . "Guy with big teeth" "Guy with a laser gun" "Guy who can (skill)" "Strong guy" "Guy who likes to say "Feeling...
... Yes they fit the bill. However why not get more for your cliché dice: Bigteethed guy with laser gun Laser gunner with big teeth Bigteethed strong guy with...
Depends on a number of things. The GM can call it to: move the game along, be really funny, or be a real douche. Otherwise flip a coin, do a one throw...
Y'all are wiggin'. As Karl points out, the difference between a "Fatey" Cliche and a "more proper" cliche is ultimately semantic. What really matters for a...
Uncle Bear rocks so hard.... He found the wrong why to play Risus. "It's about having fun, because if you're not having fun you've discovered the only way...
... and sometimes even Stunts (ZOMG). I was trying to fit SotC Stunts into Risus, maybe tied to a cliche powered by Questing Dice. I'd be interested to see...
If only I know what SotC was... You could always embed a stunt into the cliché description (they are usually implied anyway). You then just adjust the target...
... Okay! With apologies to the 'you're doing it wrong' guy, I didn't vet character sheets too carefully, and the Something Awful goons are used to PDQ, so...
SotC = Spirit of the Century. Great game, a bit too crunchy for me and too many Aspects to keep track of. Nice thoughts on stunts. Another possibility: stunts...
Granted, they're only six pages, and I can use my Mark I Eyeball to search them pretty quickly, but how come I can't type, say, 'team' into Adobe Reader and...
... http://evilhat.wikidot.com/fate-v3:fists-stunts I was thinking of Stunts as a way just to dress up bonus dice. You could be Savage Street Fighter (4) and...
Well, this is more of a workaround than a solution, but you could always search the .rtf or .txt versions of the document. Guy ... [Non-text portions of this...
You could use Questing Dice, and make the Quest something like "Martial Arts Stunts" only. Guy ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
You could also check out a game, think it was called Dice Chucker, that does some pretty neat stuff along these lines. The rules for the one of a kind dice are...
I still need to work out the details; I never played Fate, so the system differences are theoretical. I was enamored of the stunts because most were cliches in...
In that case, I don't think it's a matter of making up a new Risus mechanic; it's a matter of using the Risus mechanics to do what you want. Don't get hung up...
Definitely the Risus mechanics is the way to go. It is that most of the stunts are tied to the Fate mechanics and I'd have to transliterate the cliche. Sadly...
... I disagree. A stormtrooper from Star Wars might be "Armored bad Guy (2), Big Blaster (3). The big gun is an iconic part of the trooper, but he is still the...
... If memory serves, they are power dice and serve the same function as Lucky Shots. I think PDQ is more like Risus than Dice Chucker. The real difference is...
