Thanks for that... and of course you are right! it is a funny thing, one moment I understand the true cosmic splendour of the Zen of Risus, and all things...
Has anybody experimented with using a sort of health metre, where you would check boxes and lose levels of "health" instead of losing from your cliches...
... I have no idea if anyone has experimented with it. I think it's an interesting idea. As I see it, the Pros are: - Not immediately taken out by trying a...
... Not sure what the pros of it are, but it seems like it complicates things needlessly. What don't you like about the current way Risus does things? What are...

I like the idea of a Status Bar, but I wouldn't call it a Health Bar. I would go with -1, -2, -3, Incapacitated which is roughly the same as the way I see...
Regarding Super Beings, are funky dice really necessary? Using the Target Number system, a particular cliche is not linear, so let's say Superman decides to...
Funky dice are an option, so no, they really aren't necessary. From what I can tell, their intended purpose is to allow heroes of different power levels to...
I've been saying this for months. It's what I would do if I ever ran a Risus supers game. On 20 Aug 2007 08:22:11 -0000, risustalk@yahoogroups.com < ... ...
We'd like to do some D20 style gaming without the deprotagonizing and uber-complicated rules that go with it. Does anyone have a canned approach for doing...
There are some great sites out there (search fo Dungeonautica), but if you're looking for lots of little pieces to fiddle with, Risus may not be the best game...

... I second Karl's suggestion for a magic item to have a special ability or just add a +1/+2 to the total result, not a whole die. I also second the...
Started a risus game on Rpol.net "Risus Dungeoneers". Only a few takers on the rpol site. So I can use the help, looking for a few good players, if any of you ...
Pretty cool setup. I added a link to your game from Risusiverse. I'm not certain what you meant by "cliché modifiers". As far as pumping goes, the loser will...
Sorry, Larry, I just checked. The loser will go down by one die (or three, if the winner was using an Inappropriate cliche). IN ADDITION, the person who...
See what happens when you just look at the example without reading the words... ;-) ________________________________ From: risustalk@yahoogroups.com...
Happens to us all... Actually, the reason I happened to know that one was that I read through that example about 50 times, trying to work it out in my own...
It doesn't help that I haven't actually gotten to play for a very, very long time. :-( ________________________________ From: risustalk@yahoogroups.com...
Hi all, I devised some options I might want to add to a setting I'm working on and I thought I could post them here and see what kind of review they'd receive....
... That's interesting, if you do well you might do even better! but it's dastardly! I like dirty tricks, and the chance to lose the die if you still fail....
Eh, thanks! =) I like Foul Play too. While many people are honorable, others are not and this option could serve to represent that, whether it is used in a...
Well, on the same line, what if my character is a Totally Unpredictable And Full Of Surprises Wonder Guy (4)? How more surprising than that can you get? I...
Hello to everyone; my name's Fred Sloniker, and I just purchased the Risus Companion, making me a member of the International Order of Risus! I have yet to...
Aloha, Fred! Belonging to the IOR is a lot like being a Shaolin monk, without ever getting the cool brands on the insides of your forearms by grasping the hot...

We were all surprised that you did so, Jon... but impressed. Guy ... -- "Did you know 'Moby Dick' can be recited at frequencies so high, Melville's masterpiece...
