Elite of the Stick, I am still recruiting for the Risus Dungeon Crawl, at The Nine Worlds<http://www.the9worlds.com> Let me know if you are interested there or...
As ythe title says, I'm working on a Risus campaign set in bronze-age Greece. I'll be posting some samples soon, but I'm undecided about a key point of...
How big into the funky dice are you expecting players to get? If Hercules was: Really strong demi-god [4d8], headstrong Greek warrior (3d6) Questing Dice (12...
That sounds about right. "Mighty Sons of RISUS!" is, of course, a reference to "The Sons of Hercules", those badly-dubbed Italian sword-and-sandals movies of...
Another quickie. We lifted the kung fu mechanics from Dan Suptic's Dao Sheng and used a pared down version of The One True Gaming Prophet's Elemental Magic for...
I've put up a sample Risus game at Risusiverse in the style of the old Choose Your Own Adventure books. So far, there is only a single (very simple) adventure...
Would you mind terribly if I added a lilnk to the file vault indicating that my own modest effort is there, if there is interest in looking into it after your...
... Awesome! Yeah, I think the Dao Sheng combat mechanic is useful for any game or campaign that's heavilly based on combat. The next game I run I may try...
So, I go to Gen Con every year. I keep wondering if someone will step up and run a Risus demo event just to get the game out there. No such luck, not even...
I rarely respond anymore, but I think that going to Gen Con and supporting the marketing machine of the RPG industry, after having found the gaming swiss army...
... That's a weird attitude. Without D&D there is no RISUS. And not everyone wants clean, simple and versatile. If they did, there wouldn't be all these...
... Shouldn't that be "Just two men's opinions"? I'm not interested in a system war (and I'm sure the rest of the mailing isn't interested either). In my...
Oh, I just meant that it was my opinion, but you're right. Not trying to start a war either, just venting a little frustration with the rules heavy systems....
When I went to Project A-Kon here in Dallas a few years ago (primarily to see S. John, as I'm not an anime fan), he asked me to round up a few gamers for an...

Alas, I haven't been in Indiana since before Risus was invented. At that time, it was hard to even find D&D players... Have you seen the Frapper map of...
I GMed a couple of sessions of Risus, and I live in Indianapolis, but honestly, I'd love to see a more experienced Risus GM in action to hone my Risus-fu. As...
Oh, it certainly picked up after about 1985, and as you say, now that GenCon is in Indy, gaming is absolutely thriving. Everything got better in Indianapolis...
Y'know part of the reason I want to be a player for a change is to learn at the feet of a Risus guru, and also to experience the benefits of ease of play....
I hope everyone can forgive me for sending out this message, it smells slightly of spam... Risusiverse has been nominated for a Golden Paint Can Award at...
It's actually a Word 2008 file, potentially unreadable on earlier versions of Word. There are translators available for older versions of Word on Microsoft's...
