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.
