GMed for the first time in a long time, and my group loved it! - Lemmy.world

Well technically it turned into more of a two-shot (you know how it goes). So my regular D&D group is on a hiatus from our regular campaign since the summer has been busy for us all. Instead, we’ve been taking turns running one-shots when we’re able to meet. Last week was my turn, and I ran a game using the Risus system [https://www.risusiverse.com/]. It’s a niche little system I stumble across a few years back, and I found this awesome adventure written by the system creator called Toast of the Town [https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/175661/Risus-Toast-of-the-Town--A-Free-PulpFantasy-Adventure?affiliate_id=2330122]. It’s one of the most fun adventures I’ve ever read, and I knew we had to run it. Well to make a long story short, they had a great time! The system lends itself well to hijinks and humor, which is perfect for my group. And when it came time for us to wrap up and the adventure wasn’t concluded, everyone voted to finish it out the following week. I haven’t GMed for anyone besides my family in years, so it was really encouraging that they had a good enough time that they actually wanted to continue the story. Anyway, if you want a quick and easy system that you can run a silly one-shot with in a pinch, check out Risus!
