SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Michael MHave you had a chance to use these guys yet? Do you plan to? They've got lots of pizazz.
Thank you.  They were freshly-rolled yesterday, so they have not yet gotten down.  They might, though, since I'm running Trav at the moment.  Hmmm...

Well, I think it is good that the wheels are turning on that one. As interesting as they are here it would be a shame for these characters to remain only in the forum. Let them live!

Risus is a game that is small statblock friendly. You use the sentence summary then pop in the descriptive cliches with their die pools:

Genzo the Master Ninja: He'll kill you in a secretive fashion!
Ninja (7), Evil Boss (3)

Even better is the game adapts these rules for groups of mooks:

Genzo's funkies: A dozen hardened ninjas. Genzo's best students.
Fighting the Heroes (2), Ninja (4)
Running: Dogs of WAR - Beer & Pretzels & Bullets
Planning to Run: Godbound or Stars Without Number
Playing: Star Wars D20 Rev.

A lack of moderation doesn\'t mean saying every asshole thing that pops into your head.

You use that much info for Risus?!

Mine look like

Red Court Vampire Goon (4)

or

Policeman (3)

Any more than that and I start to get confused.
