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. ...
Hi, Real life been busy so haven't been very active, sorry. I hope everyone in Katrina's path is safe. I too had heard that TWERPS was Very popular in Japan, ...
Wow everyone seems sold on this Risus game, every one here are twerps players so there must be something to it. If twerps were re released with a shiny cover...

... Thanks for your response! Yes, there is a bit of calculation/erasing involved. But there's a reason for it. I'll get to that in a moment - meanwhile,...
I sent emails to several of the people that are associated with Twerps, that live in the area affected by Katrina. Now I don't have an Email addy on Lou...
I posted the link for the Sun Herald Newspaper, for those of you keeping up with the Biloxi area. I also posted a link to Noble Knight Games. They deal in...
Hello Will, and everyone else as well. I'm in Baton Rouge, and we just got our power back. We're still having to boil water, but things are calming down a...
... Have you ever actually played Dinky Dungeons? I want to like Dinky Dungeons - I think it would be fun to run a light campaign with it - but I have a lot...
Glad to hear you are well. I hope situations improve for you soon. I heard from Matt Kirkart. He is at the Maryland campus of Loyola. He said they were taking...
Steffan O'Sullivan has a decent description/mechanics overview/review of Dinky Dungeons and realted products (along with his reasons for not really caring for...
Dinky Dungeons was indeed a fun little game. I owned it once upon a time, but it went the way of most of my RPG stuff over the years. It should be noted that...
- I'm not sure how you would define a golden age, but back in the days when it first appeared, every gamer who went to Ye Olde Game Shoppe for their weekly fix...
Hello all; I'm brand spanking new to this group, but have enjoyed RPG's, especially simple, streamlined ones, since childhood. Having been missing TWERPS...
Hi guys. I've finished polishing the Quaternary site. It's not as slick as Necrotech, but it's the best I can do. It has a little more fluff in it. A download...
While on the subject of simple RPG's, I honestly couldn't remember if I've mentioned this game here before. I know I've discussed it on other forums. If I'm...
My interpretaiton of Golden age and Silver age stem from the Wedding anniversary names, where 50 years is Golden, and 25 is Silver. Either that, or there's the...

I've been reading some of these home brew games and I'm really impressed! I like all of them, but Cola Wars and Kharzikhan particularly stand out. Really,...
i must agree, all of the work is very impressive. a hearty 'well done' goes out to all those involved in the various projects. Justin The true test of honor...
Hello! ... It's a fun and small game with a bunch of clever ideas, that fills its niche nicely without being restricted to it. What's more, it's available for...
-Risus is indeed a fun little game, although a hair more complex than TWERPS. My group and I have done some really off-the-wall games with Risus. We've done...
I had read *Shadows*, and while it was a nice enough concept, I don't see how it could be used for anything of substance. Perhaps merging its basic conceit of...
Hey all, just some random TWERPS ideas/questions I know that there are some who don't like the word "strength" as it is misleading. We have always used the...
Myself, I prefer the definitions of Golden Age and Silver Age as they were used in television and comic books because THOSE definitions of Golden Age and...
I've always been partial to having ST stand for Stature, but then, I'm the one who originated that in my TWERPS shrine of ages ago, and I noticed it was later...
