Stats for Serenity? Hmmm.... Since the Risus rules base everything on the cliche system, I would think ship-to-ship action could work the same way.

Firefly-class transport "Serenity"
Hull strong enough to stop a bullet(2)
Moderate speed(2)
Standard sensor array(2)
Crazy Ivan(4)

Alliance cruiser "I.A.V. Dortmunder"
Massive hull(4)
Ponderous speed(1)
Standard sensors(2)
Nifty Torpedos(3)

Anyone else want to try?

yay, I've been thinking about writing a general sci-fi ruleset for risus, but since im only i few days into the risus "experience" i'm not sure if its needed yet.

and heres a few that i thought of off the top of my head. *so they may be a little off*

Reavers
Living Terror (6), Cannabalistic Killers (4)

Blue Glove Suits
Cold Blooded Killers (4), Alliance High-ups (5)

by the way, im gonna run a firefly game as soon as i can, ill tell ya how it turns out if u want.

Another one, this one is for QAGS, but its mostly analitical stuff. I think it would be interesting reading for anyone. From what i can see, it will also help those who wanna play risus-Firefly.

don't tell me the author is here 2?

I know this thread is pretty much dead, but I'm throwing in my two cents regardless. Anjin, I appreciate your effort in creating Risus: Firefly, but I do have some ideas. The issues I see in your system are really indicative of most Risus modifications I've seen online. Keep in mind the golden rule during this wringing: there is no right way to play Risus.

The issue is this: you're over-thinking Risus. For example, your rules for armor. Armor, in Risus, is a "tool of the trade" for any cliche that needs armor. If a character looses this armor, then he'd be opperating at half-cliche when resisting damage to that cliche.

I tend to keep things like ships and such as simple as possible, as well. Instead of Serenity having individual systems and such listed, could simply be a Firefly (6) or some such. You could add in things like Smuggler Ship (3) and Cattle Wagon (1). Remember, each individual cliche is as broad and encompassing as a classic AD&D character class-- meaning very.

And there's always room for inappropriate cliches, especially in a Whedonverse rpg.

It will take time to restore chaos...but we will

I like your RISUS adapation of Firefly and am looking forward to seeing the Firefly system you're working on when it's finished.
