	risus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Risus: The Anything RPG is a rules-light genre-agnostic role-playing game written, designed and illustrated by S.
		Risus is a comedy game (often described by its creator as a "joke game") and uses a cliché (character class) system inspired by the broad "career scale" skills in Greg Gorden's DC Heroes RPG (Mayfair Games), and later influenced by Atlas Games' Over the Edge.
		The core systems of Risus owe their largest debt to the Ghostbusters RPG published by West End Games, and to Tunnels and Trolls by Ken St. Andre.

		Risus is a wonderful gaming system, but the only way of recording damage is a loss of dice in a given cliché.
		If any player rolls all odd results on their Risus character's sanity check, it is considered a "critical failure", and the GM can assess whatever penalty he so desires - however, it should be either exceedingly horrific or exceeding silly (this is Risus, after all).

	One Risus to Rule Them All...
		Risus is an extremely simple yet elegant “rules light” RPG which allows players and game masters drama- (or humor-) and story-heavy game play.
		As such, Risus is well-suited to represent the heroic and mythic stature of Tolkien’s Middle-earth.
		Even Galadriel’s power within Lothlorien was greatly enhanced by the elven Ring of Power, Nenya, and earned her a reputation as a terrible sorceress among dwarves and men alike (though general prejudice against elves helped feed such an image).

	The Homebrew Review, #2: Risus \| Gamegrene.com
		But the Risus system is ideal for running these kind of one-shots, because it is without a doubt the simplest one I have ever encountered.
		But my favorite Risus rule (and the one that makes this game a true looney's paradise) is the one dictating what happens when a character finds herself without any useful Cliches for a given situation.
		Risus doesn't have much of a setting or background, but unlike The Window this doesn't really present a problem.

	RISUS: Ironsides - Supplementary rules for RISUS gaming in the 17th Century (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The basic RISUS rules assume that teams of combatants are coordinating their attacks, with some providing distraction while one rushes in to land a single blow.
		Spiritual combat is handled using the standard RISUS rules for contested Callings; the loser of each round of opposition loses a die from his or her Faith, and is defeated when this score reaches 0.
		Combat of this sort is modified by the Trappings of the area; hence, it is tougher to tackle a sorcerer in his lab, a priest in her church, or a warlock in his lair than it would be elsewhere.

	Risus Wargaming
		Risus is an RPG Lite, meant for playing when nobody wants to bother with complex rules.

		Like Risus characters, R:tW units have Cliches that define who they are, what they can do, etc. For more information on units, see Creating Units later in the text.

		In Risus, you are what you model yourself after: clichés — a quick way to describe what your character knows how to do (usually based off of stereotypes, etc.).
		Risus doesn't contain some typical rule book conventions: there is no "what is roleplaying" section; there are no guidelines for creating adventures; there are no guidelines for creating a world.
		The main Risus website contains other Risus materials (GM Screen Sheet (to tape on one of your existing screens), dice (they may be paper, but they are free), and miniatures (a Sparks sampler)).

	Risus: Silverlode 1908
		All characters that participate in the first episode are assumed to be traveling to Silverlode and concepts should imply a desire to solve mysteries and fight evil for the good of humanity (or at least just the good of the United States).
		Unlike standard Risus, defenders will only inflict "damage" on their opponent if their description of their defensive strategy includes an offensive component or at least an explanation of how the attacker might "lose ground" as a result of a successful defense.
		Of course, as with standard Risus, this system also works for combats that are actually chases, seduction attempts, exchanges of ego-bruising insults, and any other conflict that can be narrated as a series of moves and counter-moves.
