Hi, Just wanted to introduce myself. My brother & I are amateur gamers from years ago, and we just recently started playing around with running the games....
Sorry this took so long to appear, Mandi. It was sitting on Yahoo waiting for approval and I never noticed. Welcome to the group, and good luck with your...
Mandy, I think pretty much all of us are 'amateur gamers' in that we do it for the love of it! Whereabouts in SC? I used to live in Beaufort myself until...
Thanks for the welcome, all. Hank, we live in Anderson, just south of Greenville (upstate). Well, I think we have decided on a fun genre - my brother wants to...
Well, you're going to need several things: --Enemies and allies. Ships from England, France, Spain, and Portugal (among others) were typically plundered for...
I guess I'll do a hello all as well. I'm a wargamer dad who has collected RPG source books a long time for the fun and fascination of them and dabbled in...
Thanks, Guy. I have a different version of the list of plots, but I didn't think I was ready to go there yet. Your tips have certainly given me a starting...
I was looking for Dungeonautica at my bookmarked location, http://members.shaw.ca/vdiakuw/D0.htm , and it is no longer there. Google still thinks it should be...
On Nov 27, 2007 3:22 AM, Michael Friedman ... I have no idea where it moved to, but the cached pages will give you the info, or you could check the wayback...
I looked at Dungeonautica way back when and took the opportunity to look it back up through the archive. Good stuff. Wondering if there is someway of salvaging...
Ok, this is kind of an old thread, but I have been considering once again, to flip in some funky dice for a Mouse Knight/Mouse Guard RISUS game I have started...
Wow, I am just going through and checking some of the old threads that I never got around to replying to, hoping to stir up some communications, even if it is...
Eh, old stuff indeed! ;) I never actually had a chance to test these options, though: looks like the players I know around here don't like Risus. =( Anyway, I...
I'm there with you and diggin' what your saying, how about this for a mechanic. Inappropriate Cliches are the dirty of the dirty, so-to-speak, but if your ...
I got in touch with Vin Diakuw (the creator of Dungeonautica). It should be back online now. He is also contemplating adding it to Risusiverse. Larry ...
That is good news and if he does put it on Risusiverse, that would be tre' cool! Best, ... -- John Risus IOR 387 ... "You can't make a man worth more by making...
I'm not sure I understand this discussion. If someone has a cliche that is good for "fighting dirty" then they can fight dirty. If they do not have any cliche...
Yes, I agree with everything you said Karl. The "King's Musketeer" can easily fight the "Cardinals' Guard" one on one as is, or the "CG" can fight dirty, and...
I think the problem goes back to what Joe Mucchiello pointed out: the option's name. My original goal was to introduce an option to help the losing party in a...
... It seems to me that the "pushing" rules cover this adequately. They help the pusher (whether winner or loser) but at a cost. Since loss of cliche dice...
Now that I have re-read and grasped the "pushing" rules they seem quite usable, and like them actually. Has anyone took a look at DiceChucker and thought about...
... quite ... I usually require my players to make a very vivid and original description of their action when they pump. If they use the same trick again, they...
Thanks for the example, it really helped me salidify the idea. I DO like it quite alot now. About the only thing that I really dig is the various dice options...

Thanks. My copy of Adobe is too old for it, gorramit, but I'll probably buy a cheap hard-copy, from the site. Vince "I'm not ready to let them go. So here I...
You can download the free Adobe Reader from http://www.adobe.com. The latest version will read any PDF and runs on most operating systems. -- Mike ... Michael...
Although this is properly a Cthulhu-esque scenario idea, I'm keen on trtying it in RISUS. Today, suddenly, a title flashed through my mind: THE DOOM THAT CAME...
Certainly! What forum is that, BTW? I may want to check it out. Guy ... From: risustalk@yahoogroups.com [mailto:risustalk@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Hank...
