Happy 4th of July

I salute all those who have served and especially those who have given their lives so that this great country shall not perish from the Earth. This land of the free, home of the brave, may she ever endure for all time.

Aidan of Mellitus - Risus

Finan's companion on the roads, a man I can connect with fairly well: a grumbly old veteran.  ;-) 

Aidan has retired but his ex-wfe (now run off with another, younger man) has racked up considerable debt in his name. Now he looks to earn coin by serving as Finan's armed escort and guardsman as he wanders about preaching and spreading the good word. Additionally, constantly being on the move means Turag has a harder time locating him and forcing him to pay his debts. While he is a believer in the "nailed god", he is not truly a man of faith and only regularly speaks to Saint Cuthbert in the traditions of his people.

Finan of Lindasfarne - Risus

 

Playing around with Risus and listening to a most excellent history podcast on the history of Saxon England resulted in this.

Risus Character Cards

Well, now I am really in a Risus sort of mood. I went looking for a character sheet (silly, I know, but hey) and could not find one I liked so I made one. I just uploaded to Itch.io where all my other stuff is. Made a couple of variations so people could use the one they like. Should fit nicely on a US letter sized page, then cut into fours to provide a handful of sheets for each page printed. Hope you like them!

You can find them here:

Antiquus Fabula - a Risus supplement

 

My pal Norbert is celebrating this amazing game by having a Risus Appreciation celebration and posting various cool rules, ideas, and discussions about the game. Check it out at https://darkwormcolt.wordpress.com/

A long time ago - 20 years??? - I discovered a game called Risus and it completely rewrote everything I thought about RPGs at the time and subsequently turned me on to the lighter side of RPGs and my love of rules-lite systems. Now, I wanted Risus to run D&D at the time, so I threw together some ideas and released a Risus supplement to enable a more D&Dish feeling to your games. To keep this Risus love going, I thought I would remind everyone of my Risus Fantasy Supplement. Antiquus Fabula! https://mattjackson.itch.io/antiquusfabula

I love this fun, sort of child-like artwork for fantasy images, maybe nostalgic? Not sure but I love it!
