Let's Play Risus! [Turn 2: Don't Drink The Beer]
« on: July 28, 2013, 06:09:15 pm »

RISUS
Let's play Risus! It's an extremely simple (though slightly more complicated than RTD) tabletop system. You can view the rules HERE. All you need to know immediately is the character creation process, which is on the first page (with examples on the second). I'll be taking five players.

Guess I don't need to list the rules here huh. I will be determining the plot of our adventure based on the characters participating. Anyway GO FORTH AND MAKE YOUR CHARACTERS THIS WILL BE ALL KINDS OF SWEET

LETS GO ONE MINUITE.

Name: Derm
Appearance: I put on my robe and wizard hat.
Chiches:
(2) Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Murdering, looting, being an asshole. For the greater good, and for the laughs!
"So, I did what I always do — murder people horribly — but because I killed the people everyone else wanted me to kill, I get presents instead of prison time?" - Belkar, Order of the Stick
(2) Mad Doctor: Settin' bones, and stitchin' wounds. With some extra flair.
"All it required was a cocktail of dangerous, experimental surgery and a willingness to ignore the unnecessary suffering of perfectly innocent beings! Also, I shot magic into their chromosomes until they turned inside-out. Evolution is my bitch." Red Mage - 8 Bit Theater.
(4) Dark Sorceror:  Spellcasting, Summoning, speaking in elder tongues that bespell insanity upon lesser men.
"I am the Black Mage! I casts the spells that makes the peoples fall down!" - Black Mage, 8 Bit Theater
(2) Friends in strange places: Hagglin' with the dark dealers, talking to the secret peoples, a nod and a wink to the ferryman on the River Styx.
"You've not only stared into the abyss, you've let it sleep on your couch!" - Unknown.

"Y'know, my favorite thing about being a hero is that it gives you all kinds of narrative justification to just slay any ol' jerk who gets in the way - Black Mage.
"The bulk of [Derm]'s atrocities seem to stem from him doing things that [Magic] doesn't actually do." - TvTropes
"Dammit Derm!" - You, if I'm doing it right.
Moved to SufficientVelocity / Spacebattles.

She had stared into it for to many years, alone and unblinking, determined that it would not take her.
Now it never would.
Now she was lighting a candle.

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

7/10 Has much more memorable sigs but casts them to the realm of sigtexts.

Indeed, I do this.

Name:  Retsaot, the Walking Paradox
Appearance:  Retsaot is so twisted from his participation in crazy deathmatch races where he monkeyed with the workings of time that even his name is twisted.  He's an unassuming looking fellow, except that he appears to occasionally phase in and out of reality.

Cliches:  Random Things Always Happen to Me (4), Mechanic (3), Driver (3)

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Cliches: Geezer, Latin Lover, Bimbo, Con Artist. (not sure how to get the numbers, do I roll for them?)
No, you assign them. Total can't pass 10.

HAHAHAHAHA oh you mean waitlist. I'll have to figure out a way to handle player death since the book doesn't explicitly mention it, but I suppose we can have a waitlist.

No, you assign them. Total can't pass 10.
In addition I'll be keeping a 4 dice cap on a single cliche during character creation, and we won't be using any of the advanced rules during the game. To clarify.
