Shouting out into the void for this one but: any tips for someone who legitimately gave up ttrpg game dev because of both stress over not being able to translate my ideas into the dice stuff and the realization i could not logically make a living out of it but now wants to get back at it with risus or a original system?
Have you played RISUS ?
By S. John Ross
Anything! It's a rules-light generic system.
Have you played ?
Yes I have played it
No but I've read it
No but I've heard of it
Never heard of it
I would like to access your ttrpg knowledge. Do you know of a system where the players can freely swap between a collection of characters? I'm looking to run a Monty Python and the holy grail one-shot, so I want the players to be able to move between whichever knights are relevant at the time (and make gameplay continue smoothly as they die off). This can either be from each player having a set squad, or by having a "shared inventory" that each player pulls from as needed. Bonus points if it's easy enough for inebriated players to get a hold of.
There have been a number of published games that use the variant of troupe play that you're describing (i.e., a fixed pool of player characters, but no particular player character is associated with any particular player); the now out-of-print Marvel Heroic Roleplaying springs to mind, in which play consists of a series of set-piece scenes with pre-defined rosters of heroes, and each player chooses which hero to play on a scene-by-scene basis; e.g., you might start out playing as Spider-Man, then when a hero you like better enters play, you switch to playing as them instead, while Spider-Man is either taken up by another player, or else becomes an NPC.
However, I feel like for your particular purpose, that would be barking up the wrong tree. Certainly, for ongoing troupe play, this sort of formal spotlight management is practically mandatory. For a one-shot game, though, it's a lot of game-mechanical overhead for very little benefit, because the spotlighting issues that it's designed to address simply won't have time to develop. Plus, it's not a great idea to introduce novel scene-framing practices to slightly drunk players – that's the sort of thing you really want to be learning stone sober!
My recommendation for a drunk-friendly troupe play oneshot is to go with something light, ideally with descriptive traits so you don't need to know the mechanics to understand what the character you've just been handed is good at, bring a dozen or so pre-generated knights, and let the (ideally sober) GM manage the spotlight on an ad hoc basis. To that end, have you considered S John Ross's Risus? Character sheets basically read like TV Tropes articles, and it's well-suited to Arthurian parody in the Welsh tradition (i.e., the kind where each knight has weird and faintly impractical supernatural powers), which feels like a good way of meshing that Monty Python and the Holy Grail spirit with more conventional tabletop expectations.
(I can also speak from experience when I say that it's feasible to play while completely hammered.)
Nos volvimos a encontrar, pero traigo heridas de años atrás y yo o te quiero arrastras a este infierno donde todo es un caos. Tengo miedo de volver a caer en ese sentimienbto tan profundo llamado amor, pero tampoco quiero no verte jamás, debería hacerle caso a la mente y a todas esas decepciones que fui cultivando durante estos años, pero mi corazón solo quiere ternerte y no dejarte escapar.

Dragons & Doggos session 1 intro...
Between the ruined towers of ancient wizards and the frozen north at the top of the world stretches the Old Wood. Some claim it is where the fae were born; all agree it is the place where they left this world for other places, to vanish from dream and nightmare both and leaving behind both magic and guardians in their wake like gems in a dreary fen. Here, ancient witches still roam, an unallied town ekes out a small living in the south of the forest, trolls have their home in the dark places of the earth while the fabled Deep Lake is home to the last dragon that does not dwell within the seas.
It is said to be a place of magic and wonder, and given humans the wonder is often how they will profit from such things - for as nations grow, so too does their hunger, but perhaps dragons hunger more than nations ever will. There are stories of the Old Wood that no one believes, from the sleeping kings to the lady in the lake and when deep into his cups, Sir Render will speak of a dog made of swords and of death that wags its tail before destroying all that stand against it.
People fear the dragon, but often forget what forces the dragon might keep in check.
And far away, in the shining towners of the Sun City where the capital of Ouat spreads out over land that is, perhaps, larger even than the Old Wood, Prince Thespin Rex is subjected to a lecture: “Know, ih prince, that between the years when the oceans drank the Sinking Lands and the gleaming cities of Ouat -.”
“That’s us, though? This might not be a wise story….” the price said worriedly.
“Ahem! AND the gleaming cities of Ouat, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Anarch there was an Age undreamt of, when the seven kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles under the stars. Hither came the…. Captain of the guard?”
And the would-be historian was arrested for slandering the mighty kingdom of Ooat, for this was the reign of King Laurent Wendall Rex the II and most heavy was the crown that lay upon his brown, and often his gaze turned to the Old Wood to the west and visions of wealth and prosperity came unto him that would not go away…
And so we begin our tale as we begin every tale: a summer day, the sky as blue and clear, the waters of the deep lake as warm as a bathing pool and within it dwells the dragon Mixy, while Sword Dog laps from the waters….
Of the Deep Lake!
I haven’t uploaded to this tumblr in a while oops.
I’ve slowly started becoming more active posting art on twitter - my profile is iamthetwi - but I’ll try to still post here too!
Lately most of my free time has been spent drawing content related to the risus/dnd game I’m in - it’s got such a wonderful story and I’m definitely invested. Here’s some drawings. First one was to celebrate the 2 year mark and the last 3 are moments from the game.
Featuring: a cursed npc, a sweetheart, the tank, tree man, and my social anxiety cleric.
Wanted to compare the heights of my elders hehe...
The ones who are currently WIPS are not included however
