Welcome! Wikis are websites that everyone can build together. It's easy!

External Links

Because everything can't be stuck to this pole

A place for links to other sites that might be of interest to Risus games (cliché or Risus type of content around the web...other types of links should go on the Other Links page).

Standard practice is to add a link to a site here by adding your link to the list (use the Subhead option to list your link name and link that subhead to the site using the +link option) and add a brief description.

Make certain you check out Risus Sites for sites specifically dedicated to Risus.

(the sites on this page are more general in nature)
