... I would view this as similar to how races are done in fantasy settings. Generally you try to work the race into the cliche that coincides with what makes...
Been invited at the last minute to come up with a Risus scenario for our local Games Day, and I'm trying to come up with a quick idea for a scenario to fill a...
... I've always loved Risus: Stuper Heroes. It is the funniest in my opinion. I played a game of it on newyears, which had Stick Man (really was a stick man,...

I have updated the Risus Rogues Gallery, including Mssr. Hiacinth as well as three more of my own to round out the number to ten. Here are my additions: Rick...

Read Carpe Jugulum? Or the Wee Free Men? Then you know about the Nac Mac Feegle, the red-haired, blue-skinned, loincloth-wearing, and much-tatooed pictsie (no...
You know, I've been avoiding Discworld for a couple of decades now (allergic reaction to whatever Terry Pratchett I read awhile back), but maybe I've mellowed...
