I've just read John S. Ross' RPGs as Beverages: http://www.telisphere.com/~davidl/gaming/humor/beverage.htm What beverage would Risus be? It's got to be better...
Hello All, First off, I'd like to say "Hi" to the list and thank S.John for his excellent Risus Companion. I've always loved Risus in theory, but I never...
I'd have to vote Moonshine - free, potent, easy to obtain (well, in the country anyways), and makes you laugh your ... off for hours on end ;) -- Lord Zamiel...
Welcome to the list, Tim. Here are my thoughts on your questions. I don't think your situations would really come up. Don't worry about the "nature" of the...

Larry, thanks for the response. And I love your website (specifically the magic rules). ... Ah, so this would be "Circus Combat". :) To address my "nature of...
Both of Tim's questions have to do with what happens when "the nature of combat" changes. What we really need is a basic rule about how "the nature of combat"...
It looks like Tim and I wrote replies at about the same time, with neither of us aware of the others post. I'm probably going to repeat some of what I ... ...
In the previous "Teams & When Somebody Can't Participate" thread, Karl seems to advocate a sort of situational appropriateness... the Court Jester's defensive...
I may be missing the point here, Tim, but your "suggested variants" or "minor departures" don't look like variants at all to me--it just seems to be the normal...

... Guys & Gals, I got this message from another Yahoo! group I am on. I thought you might want to know. Yahoo! is now using something called "Web Beacons"...
... Not exactly. In the rules, a Barbarian and a Wizard are both appropriate cliches to use in "Fantasy Combat" (when both obviously want to fight). I'm...
Hi all... In my vain attempt to follow the Pokemon tagline (Gotta Catch Them All), I'm trying to collect all the Risus stuff/supplements that have appeared on...
Hello, Try checking on the Internet Archive: http://www.archive.org/ If you know the old address, there is a chance it was archived here at some point. Hope...
Thanks! That "net"ted me the Madcap setting. Unfortuanately, Risus Trek, 9th World, and Solar Seas were no shows there. Any other leads out there? Or, did some...
Now be honest with me - which one of you plays Risus in school, or better, on lessons? I just did that today :) We had lots of fun, the teacher somehow didn't...
... We had a floating AD&D game in detention at my high school. It was there that my second AD&D character ever, Lord Paladane (care to guess his class?), ...
I played RuneQuest, Snakepipe Hollow, on boat between Italy and Greece, in 1979. A 12 hour game on a 17 hour trip. We broke up when Ithaka, Odysseus' home...
I played star wars at the back of the class during a French lesson, with the stricter of all the teacher I've ever had teaching. Great adrenalin! We had a...
I'm trying to come up with a fantasy world for Risus that I can run when the regular game breaks down for the night, something I can dust off and run with...

Hey All, I'm looking for any pointers to a risus setting called Thews & Thaumaturgy. I've looked in Archive.org and no luck there. Any help? Any at all? Biz ...
Hello, The pages appears to have moved here: http://thews.0catch.com/index.html However, it seems to use Tunnels and Trolls, not Risus. Hope this helps, BJ ......
Hey! Actually, using the address I was able to track down the version of Thews & Thaumaturgy that used Risus. Thank you very much! Biz ... From: BJ Hark...
... Really? Can you post the link? I'd like to add it to the links section here, and I'm sure S. John over on the official Risus list would like it for his...
I ran Risus at a con this weekend in Iowa City. Everyone had a blast, but one of my players came up with a cliche that, for the life of me, really was...
... That's great! Nothing like having a player who really gets it. Reminds me of the one game i ran that had a player with the cliches of Stretchy Guy and...
