While you can write 4 or 5 Risus characters on a single omdex card with no problem, it is nice to have these. If nothing else, it really expands what a character is like, His likes, dislikes, what he laughs at, is scared of, is allergic to. The list goes on and on, really making for a well rounded character unlike all others, even those of the same dice levels.

Best little rules set there is. Easy to learn, easy to teach, fun to play. Simple enough to remember when drinking. Flexible enough to cover pretty much every genre ( at once ).

This isn't the typical hack and slash your way through random seeming monsters. lots of surprises, and lots of noncombat.

Risus is a great game to have handy for those nights when everyone is too burned out, tired, or drunk to wade through a dozen rule books to generate characters. Keep it around for a quick, silly blow-off game after a long campaign.

It quick, easy, silly, and generally good fun.

The scary part is it has a logic to it: It makes sense despite the light and humorous style of the rules.

I love it.

Simple as crazy. Total flexibility. Damage cuts your ability to do things. Why should a guy with 90% of his hit points gone fight at full ability?
