Introducing Tornado Kate

While digging around for "Dances With Werewolves" notes that seemed to have gone missing (they should be around here somewhere), I stumbled accross a player's original proposal for a Silverlode character, back when it was going to be GURPS Silverlode 1876. Well, since I really enjoyed the character concept I thought I'd convert her to Risus and post her on the site. Her name's Tornado Kate, and she's the rootin'ist, tootin'ist werewolf hunter in the west. I don't have an image for her, but the player informed me that she should be voiced by Joan Cusack (from Toy Story 2).

The Death of Silva

Last night's epic Dragonspire session was particularly momentous. Not only did we have all our players in attendance, but the party caused an avalanche and battled waves of undead soldiers within site of the fortress of Sa Karen. Alas, their NPC guide, Silva, was slain in the fighting.

The session summary has been posted here and characters have been updated.

On the Subject of Updates...

Dan Suptic has made a few small revisions to Arcadomai. Most are minor edits, but there is an important change to the Magic Cards rule. The new text reads:

If you have at least 3 clichés total in mage clichés, you know what any card does when you see it. Anyone can use magic cards, but someone who has no magical clichés will have to either know what the card does and have it prepared in a certain place (left pocket is heal, right pocket is ice dagger) or they could just cast it blindly (I'm sure that could never go wrong).

Small Update

We had a short Dragonspire session last Thursday. The session summary has been posted here and characters have been updated.

Risus Arcadomai

Looks like Risus Mariachi was only a small taste of the genius that is Dan Suptic... a chips & salsa appetizer, if you will. He has now given us Risus Arcadomai, a main dish of peurco pabil brilliance. Seriously, I think this is the finest fantasy supplement written for Risus that I have read thus far (and I'm not just saying that because it is being hosted here). There are so many nuggets of inspiration that it makes my head swim. I'm particularly fond of the new Bonus Gear rules, Magic Cards, and the city of Gravelight.

A Risus Experiment at Circvs Maximvs

The FickleGM has started a thread for his Risus rumination over at Circvs Maximvs. Shame on me for discovering it so late in the game, especially since the Risus Monkey was mentioned earlier in the post. I love it when people describe their own experiences with Risus, and FickleGM seems to be having a grand old time. Schedule permitting, I look forward to sitting in on one of his games at GenCon.

What's Up With Risus Monkey?

These last few weeks have bee pretty crazy. It has been very difficult to find time to make updates to the Risus Monkey. But last Thursday, we finally resumed the online Dragonspire game after a long hiatus. The update from the session has now been posted and several characters have been updated.

Adventure Street Omnibus

Hank Harwell is a regular on RisusTalk and a driving force behind the attempt to create a webzine for Risus fans. He's also got his own Adventure Street Omnibus, which is the place to go for all your Pulp Risus needs.
