Risus, the Anything RPG
Wow, you must be at least a Web Surfer (3) to have reached this page! (That used to be Web Surfer (5), but Google has made it easier now...)
This is only an index page for all my writeups for Risus. I hope you find something useful here.

- An electronic version of Hank Harwell's solo adventure Courier Service.
- Risus R'lyeh, rules for playing Call of Cthulhu adventures with Risus rules. If your characters often die or become insane, Risus is an ideal rules alternative: character creation only takes two minutes!
- The Risus Roster, a couple of monsters and men I've written up for my games or for fun.
- Risus Rules, a page of rules additions and modification. Well. Only two rules yet, actually.

Risus
Just in case you didn't know, Risus is a free roleplaying game by S. John Ross. Check it out now.
Risus is ideal if you prefer common sense to do the bookkeeping in your roleplaying campaign. But Risus goes even further. It encourages the players to add detail to the narrative. In an ordinary RPG, players will not try an action that they haven't got the skill for. In Risus, they will take yet another look at their keywords or cliches instead and come up with an original solution to the problem.
