Meditation, but hey, this is Risus, no? And a Question for anyone with the companion. Why does it specify that you can't pump in a cascade? (Last Man Standing,...
Has anyone used any of the die mechanics from Cheap Ass Games Button Men in Risus combat? If not, it would be easier to write something up than to explain. ...
I'm not familiar with it either, so please do explain. ... From: risustalk@yahoogroups.com [mailto:risustalk@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Guy Hoyle Sent:...

... Let's see... beatpeopleup.com Check out the rules page. It works a lot like Lethal Combat or the Cascade in the Companion, except individual dice can have...

I've still got some people in my group who feel 'naked' without half a dozen skils and such on a character sheet, so one of my players came up wth the idea of...
... Interresting. May I assume, then, that you don't allow the cliche to be used for anything BUT what is covered by the chosen subliches? If not, then why...
This does look quite interesting. It would probably be best to use the Cliche as a means of determining the sub-cliches only, and make any and all rolls...
As they say in the HeroQuest rules, Your Game Will Vary. There's no wrong way to play, as well. Sub-cliches sound interesting, but what happens when you use...
... fell flat on my butt from all the complications <<< I think that the Risus rules are surprisingly complete and that when I've tried to "improve" them I...
The Sub-Cliche idea has been bandied about here and else where with a couple of different names. On the whole it isn't strictly neccesary, but as a sort of...

There's a review of Risus in Knights of the Dinner Table #104, in the Web Scryer column on page 62. It also mentions about a dozen Risus websites, and comments...
... I saw that review and set of links. Was very nice to see in such a popular gaming mag! Earlier in that issue they have an article on how to make an...
I'm not sure I completely understand the problem. It seems to me that the cliches already have "sub cliches" -- the list of what one can do with a cliche....
... I think that was it in a nutshell (correct me if I'm wrong). Damage to cliches was mentioned... I think it has to go to the core cliches, and all the...
