The Risus Companion
This 64-page supplement expands the rules and resources for a lighthearted roleplaying game built around broad character clichés. It covers character design, core clichés, special equipment, magic, conflict resolution, and advanced options, with examples of player and GM exchanges. It also includes tools for creating adventures and settings, random generators, plot and adventure-design checklists, a glossary of game terms, GM advice, and instructions for drawing stick figures. Additional material includes humorous sidebars, new rules such as montage sequences and questing dice, and a recipe for banana-pumpkin bread.
