For some, Risus is a handy “emergency” RPG for spur-of-the-moment one-shots and rapid character creation. For others, it’s a reliable campaign system supporting years of play. For others still, it’s a strange little pamphlet with stick figures. No matter what you think it is, there's no wrong way to play.

A Huge Thanks to the Global Forces of Risus Fandom for 25 Amazing Years! Happy Silver 2018, and Here's to the Next 25! For newcomers: note also that Risus has been translated to Belarusian, Korean, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, Danish, Croatian, Dutch, Czech, Polish, Japanese, Chinese, Esperanto and Russian; check out the Risus fan-community for those and so much more!



Need an adventure right away? Toast of the Town is a free module for Risus! Want to play but don't have a group? Ring of Thieves is a free solitaire module for Risus! Need a campaign-scaled module focused on repeatedly murdering Santa Claus? No? I guess that makes sense, but that's what A Kringle in Time is, anyway! Love Risus so much you just want more? The Risus Companion is your gateway to the International Order of Risus (and really, just a groovy good time).
