Risus Pre-Gen Character Cards
I saw these at Stuart Robertson’s blog for his Weird West game, and I thought what a great way to introduce new players to Risus at a con or whatever: CCG-style pre-gen Character Cards for Risus!

RPGNow - Knights of Torque and Recoil Review
I did another review for Asparagus Jumpsuit - this time for Knights of Torque and Recoil. This is another system-less release. This time, you are in a modern/pulp style setting complete with an evil organization out to get you. A fun addition to any library.

RPGNow - The Compleat Shemp Review
I have posted a review of the Compleat Shemp over at RPGNow. In a nutshell, this is a terrific supplement for any GM who is looking to streamline the process of creating and managing NPCs. Well worth the asking price.

Homemade Risus screen on a 3x5 card.
Hard to hide a map or GM notes, but very functional!

Risus Roll and Keep
Imagine if you always rolled 6 dice, and just kept the number of dice that match your cliché level.
Favorite quote of the article: It’s more fun that way” is the best reason to do anything in a roleplaying game.

Update #4: Scent of Baking Bread
“In which Q meets A across a friendly ampersand, and they chat.”
A very interesting read for the Risus Kickstarter campaign.

A New Age…
A couple of weeks ago, I got my two oldest boys to try out a game of Risus. They had a great time (and had enough fun to entice the youngest to want to play as well). And so it begins…

RISUS: Free Adventure Projects
The Kickstarter campaign has started for Risus!

Okay, I’ve got the ball rolling at Kickstarter to Do This Thing. At this point I need to let them get my bank set up through Amazon and all that jazz, but I’ve got the project outlined, rewards written, and so on, including silly things like ultra-high tiers where I come to your town, stay for days, run a mini-campaign of up to 10 sessions, and cook for you (do people actually do that stuff? I guess I’ll find out …) and of course more sensible tiers for more sensible things.
I’ve set the goal modestly with the hopes that you guys will want to push it way _past_ modesty (and I don’t mean in an Article VII way, though if you pay me to come run a game for you, I gotta say that Article VII is a shoo-in). Specifically, if the goal is blasted into the stratosphere, I’ll actually go around hiring some of my favorite RPG writers to help write the library of free adventures that will result. And I know some groovy RPG writers …
But even if only the modest goal is met, I promise a spiffy little adventure thang.
So, once the all the behind-the-scenes-account-shuffling is done, let’s get started and see if this works :)
Since I haven’t launched yet, there remains some wobbliness in the clay spinning on the wheel. If you have any particular ideas or requests for reward tiers, in particular, let me know.
More on the Risus Kickstarter idea that S. John Ross is working on…
