Hi Risus fans!
I came across Risus a few months ago and loved the whole outlook of
it. I've been trying to run a Talislanta game with a few hiccups and
as it...
... Refer to the handy-dandy final paragraph on Page 1 of Risus (PDF version) - the paragraph just above the Target Number box. As you can see here, "anyone...
Help! I could use some pirate cliches to get the ball rolling; there's a chance that I'll be running a scenario at a game day this weekend, and a great idea ...
Hey all, Just reread Kipling's "With the Night Mail" and though that Risus can be perfect for running a Steampunk adventure, particularly one involving wacky...
I'm trying to figure out cliches for a type of hunting magic for a primitive animist society. All the members of this society receive amulets from their ...
Happy New Years and Happy Holiday's GANG! Say as my gift to you for whatever holiday you do or don't celebrate, check out my RISUS STAR WARS DARK SIDE SOLO...
... Depends on what you want to achieve. If you need to maintain the concept of each spirit as a "one shot" that must be refilled, there's no way around ...
Over the next several days, I'm separating the Cumberland Games webpage entirely from the Blue Room. My homepage and all things home-pagey will stay put at...
... LInks updated. I'll fix the info in the character generator in the next version (soon!). Just a reminder-fix the URLs in the Risus docs, too. And while...

... Sjohn The starting character Sinsibilus the Sorcerer (from p. 5 of the rules) tries casting a paralysis spell on the dragon, at a TN of 30. He pumps all...
... Stop right there; it's where your example goes awry. In Risus, there are three different methods for answering "what happens if ...?" questions based on...

... Same as with any other tie: nothing changes. In combat terms, that means nobody loses no dice, and the turn passes to the next character....
I've got all the URL forwarding working again, so http://www.cumberlandgames.com goes to the main Cumberland page again. I've also added a subdomain link for...
... That's wonderful news, S. John! Congratulations! I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to this almost as much as I am the Risus companion. Guy Guy...
I was supposed to run a Risus scenario at a local Game day here in Arlington, TX, but unfortunately not enough people signed up. Ah, well, that just gets me...
... Waiting for people to sign up for a Risus game often disappoints, sadly - while most of the vocal online-gamers know about it, we're still a tiny minority...
... *blink-blink* HOLY- Sorry, but that is ubercool! Sign me up for a copy. Nice to see Risus moving to the bigtime. But you'll still remember us when you're...
... Reflecting on your insightful response, it occurred to me that Sinsibilus would be crazy to pursue a single-action conflict, as he wouldn't be able to pump...
... Yes, definitely. That's what I meant when I said "one good pump deserves another" - a pumpable 6 will whip a pumpable 3 with no problem. ... Me, too, but...
Howdy! The license S. John was refering to was for _Diana, Warrior Princess_ (or possibly _Diana, Amazon.com Princess_... we haven't settled on a title yet)....
