Hi! This is the hopefully not-too-annoying monthly mailer for the Risustalk mailing list, where we prattle on about Risus: the Anything RPG, by S. John Ross (a...

Hey all, un-risus-y question: How do I get a background image to "tile" in html? I thought it did it by default, but I'm getting these weird stripes instead...

Nope... not just firefox... same thing happens when I view my risus page in IE. But only online, I view things just fine when I view the copy on my PC. Weird. ...

Besides Risus, I'm involved in a long-running Buffy the Vampire Slayer game (http://buffy.velvet-edge.com/), as well as a part-time (for me, not the other...
So, the other night my girlfriend floated the idea of doing an Oregon Trail Risus RPG. It sounds pretty cool, and I thought I'd ask the group for input....
My first thought when reading this was to recall "Dusty's Trail," <http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069577/>, which was a "Gilligan's Island" set as a wagon train....
Addressing the question of "multiple opponents," I'd say that any one conflict is enough to keep someone busy for a round. How a character deals with a...
Also, I use a lot of "Teamwork" bunches in deciding conflicts between multiple opponents, and that I think of it this might be the best solution to your...
In fact, we have almost given up on RISUS, as my playing group desires a more realism-reflective gaming system, one that tries to simulate reality. I also ...
Yeah, that's good, and I've found it's good to play fast and loose on the team-disbanding rule, allowing teams to disband and reform without ALWAYS imposing...
You might benefit from gurps, or if you wanna go free-style, try fudge. You can complicate that up a bit if you want- it lends itself to it more than Risus...
Well whatever you enjoy best, go for it. You might try Savage Worlds if you want a bit more crunch. With respect to Risus, I would like to know if you tried...

I was wondering about how to write up a set of cliche's for the setting of the game Everway (i.e. the Thousand Spheres). It seems to me the problem lies in...
I have used funky dice in my campaigns, but only once did I have a player who used them- typically I save them for boss NPCs. A few tips: if you're going to...
Two things: First, Hook- Diamond in the Rough All cliches start out at 1 (or maybe 2) and must be bought as double-pump. Characters with this hook would be...
Hooks don't necessarily have to equate to advantages. In fact, the implication in the main Risus rules is that Hooks are "some significant character flaw". I...
... It's all in the difficulty scale and the cliche. I don't think Everway differs significantly in power level from most fantasy games. If every one in the...
I just subscribed to this group and have been feverishly reading through the posts (instead of doing my work...oops). I am still somewhat new to Risus and am...
