From your example of play section, it looks like you are treating the ship as a character: *Ursa* Class Stealth Patrol Boat *The* *LSS Cask of Amontillado*...
Speaking from experience, this makes for very long combats, especially if you have more than one player/more than one ship. Given the choice, I would do one of...
1) I direct your attention to a post of mine here not too long ago... Search for "Gander" that ought to turn it up! And I LOVE the idea of each character...

Hi! This is the hopefully not-too-annoying monthly mailer for the Risustalk mailing list, where we prattle on about Risus: the Anything RPG, by S. John Ross (a...

Well, my 2 credits would be to treat the ship and all its components as cliches of the captain themselves. Example: Captain Malcom Reynolds Swarthy ex-Veteran...
I just posted a file of interesting optional rules I've discovered during my mianderings across the net, plus some of my own house rules. It's crap-tacular!...
Thanks for all your great ideas guys! I'm going to check out the Hard Roads stuff, and then pass your 4 or 5 great ideas to my players for a conversation. I'll...
So, it's been a while, but I have some thoughts about risus & zombies that I've been meaning to share but haven't been able to sit down and get it in type....
I like where you're going with this, but I can't help but think that instead of Halloween, the adventure should involve the Day of the Dead... and Mariachis! ...

I just finished the first real good release draft of my Gamma World conversion, Terra Tertia. In case the automatice announcement doesn't get to you, you can...
... I replied to you about it when the announcement came up. Good stuff -- Risus should be great for capturing the flavour of GW without the somewhat ...
Fantastic... I loved Gamma World and hated the rules. It would be a great fit for Risus. Tim ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I think it's awesome!! Does one really *need* the GW rules to enhance their gameplay, or can we fake it with only Risus (sadly I'm not a member of the IOR...
As I said in the introductory material, you could get away with not having the rules, as long as you could pick up enough of the setting detail. The list of...
Well done, Hank. That may inspire me enough to pick up a Risus project or two that's fallen by the wayside (this has been the most stressful work week I've...
Hi everyone! I'm just starting to GM a game using Risus rules. I have 4 players, each having 12 dice (hook and story). It's kind of a DnD-like game (it's a...
Did anyone else see this? I ran across this today, and though I'd post the link. It appears that Dragon' Landing hosts a series of gaming- related podcasts,...
Welcome, A Z! I'm fairly new to this phenomenon myself, but I'll help as I can: 1) Judging the right cliche level can be tricky, and can mean the difference...
There was also a mention of Cray Canyon Cold Snap and Risus R'lyeh. I had to double-check first, but it seems that Risus R'lyeh is my own Cthulhu/Risus...
It sounded as if they went to the main Risus website and looked through all the links to fan pages. Because they were gathering material for a Halloween...
Strongbif is pretty much right on about scaling adveraries... it may take a while to get the feel of it, but because Risus combat doesn't have to be deadly...
Hello and thanks for the replies! =D Yes, well I should have realized I did not signed: my name is André. 1) Yes, I understand I can use the non-automatic...
That's an excellent point Tim; I'm thinking of all the times in comedies and toons where a bear or similar critter has treed our protagonist(s). You've ...
