Does anyone else have any information on Over the Edge? I'm trying to get a basic understanding of the rules without having to read a bunch of campain...
Sure, I have Over the Edge. I thought about using it for my rules-lite RPG before I discovered Risus. It has hit points and weapon damage but also some ...
The main book is all you really need. I've seen it on Ebay from time to time for as little as $3.00. Even if you don't intend to use the game system itself,...
See, I love Risus very much, but I'm not a huge fan of the combat system. See, it's nearly impossible for a Shepherd Boy(3) to defeat a Giant(5)....and if you...
... There are lots of ways to monkey with Risus combat without adding more complexities (which, IMO, defeats the purpose of playing Risus in the frst place). ...
... Check out Racer Knights when it hits shelves. I picked up some preview packs at ICC last week, and the dice that came with it were in a little ziploc bag. ...
Wow. Anybody remember Jace and the Wheeled Warriors? What decade is it now? ;) WizKids also has a space opera game like Pirates; These two (the space one) and...
That would work, but I don't NEED dice. I just stuffed a bunch of spark's dice in there and it seems to work. I also stuffed in the "Risus GM sheet" and a few...
I'm tinkering with a sci-fi setting and have been having trouble with robot cliches. My trouble stems from the fact that I seem to limit my robots to basic...
Hank, I don't really see an issue if you are using double pumped clichés for the primary function (or even if you don't) and if you allow robots to do...
... I guess I don't see the same problem. A normal run of the mill robot would indeed have a basic cliche, but a PC robot is probably going to be one of the...
I would agree with the general opinion of the other repondants; a robot (or is the term "droid" these days) could be built similarly to any other character....

... There's always the classics applies to robots or androids - unless free-willed; - could be applied as "Hook-dice" (as discussed in previous emails) ...
I'd like to try Risus for historical role-playing. I've searched the links provided in the Risus page but I've found only the following two resources: "Serious...
You can take a look at my historical settings at http://risus.guyhoyle.net , but some of them aren't too serious. I've got ancient Greece, Rome, and Britain,...
Well, I think Risus works just fine for serious settings, provided you play without the Inappropriate Cliche rules. That being said, it's not going to be a...
Hello, My Cthulhu Risus is on the horror side: http://www.geocities.com/qidoctor/CthulhuR.html. For most serious Risus I recommend the "high die" dice rules...
It depends a lot on what we mean by serious I think. I think of pulp in the vein of Big Trouble In Little China or Indiana Jones as "serious" (though Big...
In the distant future cyberanthroarcheologists uncover a series of strange files. The one in the in the Olde Americane seems to be a set of rules. Rules for a...
... Thank you, Ive looked at the website, and it's a good starting point -- especially the cliche lists. Have you some suggestion about rules tweaks? Or GM...
... The main one I can think of is to pick something both you and your players are interested in, which is sort of a no-brainer and sort of something many...
In the tradition of a couple of others here, I have updated my site. No, there's no new graphics, just a little bit of content. First, the main site is here: ...
