Happy New Year! Time for the 2025 edition of the #charactercreationchallenge
Starting the year off with deranged breakfast pastry and #Risus makes total sense.

In which Simona protects her captive from a creature just like it.
@Mycomancer Oh, so many that i want to run or play. I’ve been in a long dry spell of #TTRPG due to reasons.
Anyway, games I want to play and/or run:
#ThirstySwordLesbians
#DungeonWorld
#Monsterhearts2
#Wield
#Fudge/#Fate
#Risus
#Threadbare
#FiveByFive
I could go on and on. Now four of them, Fudge, Fate, Risus, and Five By Five, are more toolkits than games, but they’re great nonetheless.
The first thing to know about the CHEATS System is that it's not just another gaming system. It's so much less than that!
I've used it with several different dice resolution schemes. I will tinker with that forever.
It is pretentiously and aggressively backronymed from its PC building blocks:
Core
Hallmarks
Energies
Approaches
Talents
Stuff
It is influenced by everything I've ever read but specifically by #Risus #BladesInTheDark #HarmonyDrive and #MiniBX .
@SJohnRoss (Amusingly, my copy of Excessively Deluxe Risus is shelved right next to 10th Anniversary FUDGE.)
@Morgunin Ha, Palladium Fantasy was the first #ttrpg I ever played and GMed. And a lot of long campaigns in RIFTS. Many fond memories.
Wouldn't touch its horribly broken rules with a 10-ft-pole anymore, though. ;)
I think the 7 rpgs that had the most impact on me from then to now are:
#Palladium / #RIFTS
#DnD and #d20Modern
#7th Sea
#MarvelUniverse (the diceless one)
#Risus
#FATE
#TheBlackHack
Game systems I'm into:
#GURPS #CarWars #Risus #MorrowProject #MarvelSuperheroes #Talislanta #Runequest #Rolemaster #Spacemaster #Traveller #OverTheEdge #Cyberpunk2020 #Champions #HeroSystem
Currently I'm reading up on Risus. It looks like fun, rules-lite system.

@andrew0ak I’m going to second Risus. Another game that’s almost as simply is PDQ.
Then there are several games that have a single stat like, “lasers and feeling”, “3:16”, or “Cthulhu Dark”.
“The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen” isn’t a rpg but it’s a great tall tale story telling game, fun to do with friends and a drinks.
I collect #ttrpgs.
I seldom get to play them these days, but I hope to change that and maybe GM some one-shots here and there. I'll list a few of those games here as hashtags. Hopefully, fellow gamers will be able to find me.
