Sigh. I've always wanted to make the first post. (My desires are simple.) I'm curious...who uses Risus as written, compared to modifying it? If you modify...
First, I'd like to thank Guy Hoyle for starting a new list so soon - so us "frustrated" Risus newbies have a place to come for help :-) I searched the archives...
I think you're overthinking it. Once it has been determined who won and who lost, the extra dice you got don't matter. You don't get to keep them. The dice...
Well, here we are, waiting for the rest of the previous ML to come. Hope it will be as interesting as another list was, now it's just a newsletter... An idea:...
Damn. Somebody beat me to it. I was going to start a Risus mailing list too. But mine was going to be called "Risus Unplugged." No amps, no roadies, just some...
... You're very welcome! Thanks to S. John for putting up with us as long as he has. He's always welcome here, as well. ... I don't think you would "lose" once...
I've just started a campaign set on Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom (or Mars, as it's known to us Jasoomians). If you're not familiar with it, John Carter, a...
... I was just thinking about that question the other day. I'd take the lost die off of his/her full normal total, and then readjust the half- dice total...
Since S. John has bascially shut down the Risus list, I guess this is the place to be.** This is a post that didn't make it into the now-defunct Risus list ...
I have added a hyperlink in the Bookmarks section to a predefined search on RPG Library for Risus-related sites. If you know of more Risus related web sites,...
... I dunno...if they're at half dice due to not having the proper equipment, then it seems like they should lose more quickly. A swordsman in a duel with an...
... Why would he drop from 6 to 3? I thought if you lost due to an inappropriate cliche, you just lost 2 instead of 1. So wouldn't he drop from Nosferatu (6)...
He didn't, actually. I created the group after one of my messages to the Risus list bounced, and I sent a query to S. John. I don't really know much more than...
... From "Inappropriate Cliches": All combat rules apply normally, with one exception: if an inappropriate Cliché wins a combat round versus an appropriate...
... Ah. Coulda sworn it was two. (We don't use inappropriate cliches often...when we have we did two.) Guess I oughta read the rules more closely... Tom B....
... Cool. Now what if he picks up a sword somewhere, i.e. from a fallen member of the grunt-squad his buddies are pounding on. How many dice would he have...
... No, loss to an inappropriate cliche drops you by three dice. Which encourages more creative thinking, I guess. :) ===== Hollis McCray "Some people have...
Since I don't have a website, I'm not the one to do this, but I think we could really use a list of cliches, grouped by genre perhaps, posted on a site...
... I'm not really sure what the point would be of "One Big List O' Cliches". It seems to me that every Risus campaign would need its own list of sample ...
... There are three reasons I'd like to see such a list: 1. I'd like to see what cliches people come up with. 2. I like running multi-genre, cross-worlds types...
... And you can, in two mouse-clicks: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/risustalk/database I added about a hundred cliches. If everyone one this list adds that ...
... That does make the most sense. The alternative is that he would be at full dice, less *twice* the number of dice he's lost. Which would negate some of the...
Hi, I have a player who wants to play a psionic character. How would you handle that? I can use one of the magic systems; i.e. roll against a "set" TN to have...
