One of the things I like most about Risus is the way it lends itself to the rapid creation of interesting and entertaining characters. There is no muss, no fuss, just the essence of a character that is understandable at a glance and easy and fun to role-play. That alone makes Risus a thing of beauty. The approach it encourages is one that is eminently suited to Fudge, too, and it might not be a bad idea to think of similar fun, quick, systematic approaches to character creation for that game as well, possibly even creating a gallery of such characters in the same manner. ‘Tis food for thought.

I have also added the out-of-print DC Heroes by Mayfair Games. This game, like the out-of-print Marvel Super Heroes by the late TSR, has trait levels that go way off the chart. I will be posting a chart with the complete conversions of these superhuman traits around the time I post my new superhero role-playing game.
