Bouncing off the walls (optional) – the optional rule of bouncing off walls was discussed on the risus mailing list (thank you all that contributed). It encourages the GM to add spice to the scene by adding cliches to it that the players can interact with. For example a 'Seaboard Warehouse (2)' may be ‘Dark [ ]’, “Quiet [ ]’, and ‘Loaded with Crates [ ]’. Each description could have a number of benefit boxes that could be utilized. The cliché must be beaten in a single-action contest to gain benefit of one of the descriptors. It is not required to have three single benefit descriptors for the scene. It just as easily could have been a
‘Dark [ ] [ ] Seaboard Warehouse (2)' for example. This gives not only a description of the scene, but also things to interact with for an advantage to the players and/or NPCs. Successfully beating the cliché results in the box that the winner described ~ getting checked off and an additional d6 being granted to the player for a single roll - Much like lucky shots. Based on the descriptor and its described usage by the player the additional dice may be used on the next roll or saved depending on the gm’s assessment.
