Re: [wushurpg] Re: What is a Filibuster?

You Did State;

***
From what I understand, it's forgoing the counting of Details, and
simply describing an elaborate character description or stunt that
more than covers the die cap of allowed Details. Basically a way for
the GM to say (if you're really elaborate, there's no need to count up
Details; you get the full amount allowed). I'm not sure if this is the
case, or all groups play like this. I've seen some play examples where
Filibusters resulted in MORE dice than the die cap.
***

Seems pretty basic: "if your description is cool enough, you win the full dice
limit regardless of how many individual details you used." Or the You Made The
GM Fall Out of His Seat Rule. Thanks for clarifying.

Can anyone tell me where this idea originated? I'd like to add it to my Wushu
Open file, and credit te source.

I think the Filibuster shows up in both Wire-Fu and Pulp-Fu. It was one of the little rules that I stripped out of Wushu Open to 1) keep it small and 2) save...
