I would love someone to playtest this for me to see iff the emchanic of the '30-turn limit' works, of if the limit needs to be adjusted. Thanks! ... -- Hank...
Fun adventure! =) The limit works, unless you fall into the gambling trap. I'd give the option to stop or would lower the TN from 12 to 10 (I couldn't roll 12...
Thanks for the feedback. I forgot that the gambler cliche was only 2 dice. No wonder rolling a 12 was so hard. Yeah, I think that there needs to be an...
Hot Damn! Running with the big dogs now! I'm going to show this to my number crunching fetish friends who refuse to take Risus seriously (but not solemnly) as...
For those of you in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Project A-Kon (http://a-kon.com/ ) is coming up next weekend, May 29-31, and one of the guests is none other...

Lissen up! To facilitate hooking up with all youse Risus types at Project A-Kon this weekend (assuming there will be anybody there but me and S. John), I have...
I've been playing a bit of Faery's Tale (A rules-lite RPG) with the family lately and have come to love the game's dice mechanic. Then I realized that it works...
It is a good way to go if you are playing Risus with Kids (less math involved). I've already linked to the Risusiverse version of this over at Risus TOTM. Good...
Thx for posting this. Another variant that works well would be the D6 Prime/Legend (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D6_System#Variant_...) dice mechanic where 1-2...
Way cool. Thanks a lot for posting this idea. I dare say it makes Risus more Risusy. ;) Totally gonna try this out the next time I run Risus. -Braydz...
Does anyone else use punitive damage in combat for newbies, to ease the puzzled looks on their faces? In an encore Code 5 game for some of Jeff's friends, we...
... I don't really see that it makes a very big difference. How is what you are doing more "punitive" then losing dice from a cliche? I can see that it very...
Remember, there's No Wrong Way To Play. I think taking away their Tools of the Trade occasionally is just good game mastery, especially since there are rules...
... Punitive damage is handed out after they lose a combat. Cliche dice regenerate after combat. If a PC 'loses' a Lucky Shot slot, that is for the rest of...
Thanks Guy. I'm just swimming in a sea self pity; I'm either a push-over or a bully as a GM, just can't hit that happy medium. Everyone seems to enjoy the...
... Cliche dice regenerate only at the rate that the GM says they regenerate at. You, the GM, can say that the loss of cliche dice lasts for the rest of the...
I agree with Karl here on the "healing rate" for cliches. And for the skill bonuses, why not just buy Questing Dice and make them useful only with knives? Guy...
... The spring-back rule, gain back all dice after combat, is established in these one-off cinematic games. Punitive damage was just an off the cuff rule for...
... I think that depends on what you call "bad gaming behavior". If everyone is having fun, then what's the problem? If you're encouraging people to think...
... I totally second this suggestion. I still think that The Risus Companion is the best ten buck I ever spent in a gaming context. Well worth it. Will Douglas...
While I agree that the Companion is well worth the money, I feel that I must point out that it is not required to play Risus (per Article XII). ;-) Larry From:...
... I like Risus so much that I bought the Excessively Deluxe package, which is now possibly my favorite object in the house. Man, I bought the book more than...
- ... The games are fun, but I had a brain fart and forgot Risus basics. I'm reading way too much into it. Someone asked me 'how do we take damage?' and I...
... I third that suggestion. ... Nero Grimes IOR #462 The problem is I don't get steady Risus play. Even Jeff runs a variant of Over the Fudge as often as...
I support it with whatever appropriate number you feel is necessary. I need to find my printed copy... And get my card... ... -- -Nathan Abrahams Tycho Cordus...
