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...

Been working on converting a friend's space setting to Risus, and I've come up with some alternate rules I want to work into it. Let me know what you all...
Here's my usual remarks. None of this seems necessary. This is just the "Let's change RISUS to make it the same as every other RPG" approach. Why don't you at...

I understand the desire to tinker and play with rules. It a lot of fun to play with the rules to encourage the type of playing you want to do. But after much...
