Let's have a thread for everyone's favorite stick figure tabletop RPG. What was the most fun cliche that you have played? Any houserules to spice up the game?
I got some Risus stuff. I may have posted it in the past, but that was quite a while back.

I combine these two houserules for my games. However, I make it 4-6 instead of evens for playing online, and for Minute Made Magic I make the distinction between Instant and Sustained magic instead of Mundane/Diabolic. Instant magic involves ephemeral effects like using a mage hand to grab keys off a guard or blasting someone with a fireball while Sustained would be like putting up walls of force or summoning hordes of undead. So far it's worked well for my games.

The only house rule my group uses when we run Risus one shots is that everyone makes their character in a vacuum, so no knowledge of what anyone else is making or has made.
Always a blast.
