FU You Ax Wielding ManiacBy: Rick Martinhttp://www rattlesnakegames com

This FU mod allows you to roleplay your own slasher movie. You need the FU core rules available

at www.PerilPlanet.com/FU in order to use this mod. Hopefully with these rules and suggestions,

you can have a game thats scary, campy, and most importantly, fun.

Creating Characters

When creating your characters, keep in mind the various tropes and clichs that abound in slashermovies. Dont be afraid to embrace stereotypes, or make unlikable charactersthat everyone wants tosee meet a messy end.Just remember that its all about having fun.

FU Points

The GM starts with a number of FU points equal to the number of players.

The GM gains FU points whenever a player character drinks copious amounts of alcohol, doesdrugs, engages in sexual activity, or participates in other immoral behavior. Also consider havingthe GM gain FU points when a character says, Ill be right back, or some other phrase that tendsto lead to demise in slasher films.

The GM can spend FU points to:

Force a player to reroll a Beat the Odds roll Add a penalty die to a Beat the Odds roll Have the killer appear in a location in close proximity to one, or more PCs without having it

be logically possible for he/she/it to get there.

Different Styles of Play

You can create a variety of different moods in your game session. You might go for more horror,

where characters are trying desperately to survive, or you might play a game where your players try

to create circumstances where they can be killed off in unique and disgusting ways.

Players should have backup characters that they can introduce if/when their character is killed.

I

Your game can have a slow start, as the GM

leaves small clues that about a killer on the

loose, or you can get straight into the action.

It may be a good idea to have scenes where

your players are roleplaying characters youve

created so they can be butchered

indiscriminately; giving them an idea of what

could happen to their characters in the near

future.

Consider giving players who have been killed,

once youve reached a point in the plot where

you do not want additional characters

introduced, a couple of FU points that they

can spend on, or possibly against, a players

behalf.

For a really bloody game, have a bowl in the

middle of the table filled with folded up

quarter page character sheets. Make all of the

characters slasher film stereotypes, and

whenever a players character dies, that player

has to draw a new one from the bowl.

Adversaries

Every time an adversary surprises a PC, the PC

makes an Odds Role with one penalty die to

avoid gaining the Afraid Status.
