I was trying to find I Aslin had reposted his site, and found this... http://www.superdudes.net/index2.php Um, Hmm. I guess I need to see if we copyrighted the...
... they ... I have had a look for superdudes on a google search and found many sites using the name superdudes also a band from Melbourne, as the name is...
... they ... I think you would trademark a name to protect it. Looking at my TWERPS books, Superdudes is one of the few without a TM after the title....
Hello! ... role-playing ... Rubbish! TWERPS needs only one die, a TWERPS character has only a single statistic, and TWERPS has two rolls, one against a...
I have eyeballed Risus, but never have tried it. There are other things on their website that have intrigued me. They have a lot of resources that can be, for...
Secret Order of Risus Member # 081 here (no, really). I love Risus for the same reason S. John Ross created it. . . it's a really, really, REALLY condensed...
I have to dispute Juawon's claims that Risus is a simpler game than TWERPS and that TWERPS is better for combat. To be more direct, the very reason I prefer...
TWERPS is simpler than Risus. (note the period) TWERPS core rule (one rule) consists of a paragraph; Risus is a couple of paragraphs. BUT... Risus has a lot...
... Not necessarily. It might simply mean that RISUS has more support by the people who hold copyright and other legal control over it. Think about it: RISUS...
Hello! ... Almost certainly, in the mathematical sense: If people could download TWERPS Basic, a certain number of them would certainly do so. But sadly, that...
Hello! ... I think you can drop the plural here; IIRC, S. John Ross is the sole author of Risus. ... I don't think it's a legal issue. Most of what we have in...
Hello hope you are all well. Never tried Risus , Dont think I could run a silly game and have it come out funny, would expect it to come out like some...
Hello again as a further thought about twerps , if its owners did allow an open license , it might well experience a resurgence. Does this site or any one hold...
Hello! ... I have run several decidedly non-serious games. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever ran a purely serious game. Even my current OtE/Fantasy...
Hello! Did TWERPS experience a Golden Age? Was it ever played extensively, apart from an initial rush by people who wanted to test it or were attracted by the...
A lot of people might not realize that a lot of the membership, and the a lot of original authors are from the area affected by Katrina. Not to mention, Lou,...
Hello! ... TWERPS is easier. *grin* Actually, I find Pocket Universe astonishingly complicated compared to TWERPS. Even more astonishing is the way Jeff Dee...
... I guess you've never played TOON or TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE yet, then. I've run both of them, the players and I both trying for humor, and the games...
... No, take a look at my post more closely, and you will notice I was referring to all the creative minds involved in the official TWERPS books, not merely...
... I am told that it experienced something of a Golden Age in Japan but not in the United States. Unfortunately, the site by a Japanese author celebrating...
Warning! This idea complicates TWERPS! It is most definitely not for everyone - particularly those who like the essence of ultimate simplicity in the system...
Hello! ... <sarcasm>Hey, you neglected to tag the sarcasm in the above!</sarcasm> ... This is purely a matter of personal taste, of course, but for something...
I've been reading the posts the last few days, and keep getting interupted when I want to chime in. I am also long-winded so I need a few minutes/hours free to...
Thanks to Will for his concern over those affected by Katrina; luckily I no longer live in the path of the hurricane, but if this had happened two years ago...
I would consider TWERPS to be superior to RISUS specifically because the simplicity in TWERPS enhances intense storytelling-oriented roleplay whereas the...
Hello! ... D'accord. ... You lost me there. For one thing, I don't see why the simplicity in Risus (which isn't *that* different from the simplicity in TWERPS...
The difference I see is that RISUS goes out of its way to encourage players to show off their cleverness at using cliche's inappropriately. TWERPS does not. ...
