RISA

RISA is a generic, universal RPG inspired by the game RISUS. It aims to be a redistributable, open-source RPG that can be freely changed, remixed and adapted to suit anyone's needs.

Currently only the RISA SRD exists in an in-development alpha form. Expect subsequent releases to polish the SRD and eventually settings, adventures and entire games compatible with RISA. A wiki is also in development that will be the go-to place for RISA content in the future for what I hope will be a large, active RISA community.

I hope this little RPG inspires those who see it to create their own adaptations on this wonderful little framework.

Inspirations:

RISA would not exist without the man, the myth, the legend: John C. Ross and his beautifully crafted RISUS: The Anything RPG. Many thanks to John for creating a wonderful game that has brought Risus’ namesake: a smile, to many a gamer. Special thanks to the progenitors of RISUS: Mayfair’s DC Heroes, Over the Edge, The Ghostbusters RPG, GURPS, TWERPS, Fudge, Tunnel & Trolls and Dragonquest. Last but not least, thank you to the RISUS Discord community for keeping the game fresh and full of new ideas!
