#risus is a great #ttrpg engine!

Im runing a oneahot with some family is there a simple #d6 based #ttrpg system? Im most familiar with #dnd5e but im fine if its verey different.

Edit: i played useing #risus and omg it was so fun i ran a #scp based adventure for 2 hours and only 20mins was spent teaching complete newbies to ttrpgs how to play highly recommended for its simple quick character creation. It was hard to rule as i wasn't used to the system but that comes with experience

Thanks for the Recommends tho 

Happy New Year! Time for the 2025 edition of the #charactercreationchallenge

Starting the year off with deranged breakfast pastry and #Risus makes total sense.

The Ancient Depths: Scene 3

Toast of the Town

Today I ran @S. John Ross 's adventure Toast of the Town, partially to understand what he means by "high-trust trad", and partially because it's simply a rea...

@GrumblingGM @SJohnRoss I mean, if the shoe fits...

#Risus or #Troika would be my go-to's, but RISUS is my first choice.

The first thing to know about the CHEATS System is that it's not just another gaming system. It's so much less than that!

I've used it with several different dice resolution schemes. I will tinker with that forever.

It is pretentiously and aggressively backronymed from its PC building blocks:

Core
Hallmarks
Energies
Approaches
Talents
Stuff

It is influenced by everything I've ever read but specifically by #Risus #BladesInTheDark #HarmonyDrive and #MiniBX .

Home

Welcome to the Risusiverse! The Risusiverse is a site for fans of Risus: The Anything RPG - the free pen and paper roleplaying system written by S. John Ross and published by Dave LeCompte. While this site might not set the world on fire, it may hopefully become the recognized resource for Risus

@Morgunin Ha, Palladium Fantasy was the first #ttrpg I ever played and GMed. And a lot of long campaigns in RIFTS. Many fond memories.

Wouldn't touch its horribly broken rules with a 10-ft-pole anymore, though. ;)

I think the 7 rpgs that had the most impact on me from then to now are:

#Palladium / #RIFTS
#DnD and #d20Modern
#7th Sea
#MarvelUniverse (the diceless one)
#Risus
#FATE
#TheBlackHack
