So the only game ive played that isnt chess or monopoly, is dnd and i like it the thing is my family members dont want to play becasue its too complex and im trash with storys and planning.

it would help if there is a solo game or and easyier version-like dnd or something of that nature. do you know of any also what makes them good or worth checking out? linking links would also help if that is possible.

I don't play solo RPGs myself either, but just like solo board games, there's loads of people who enjoy them (such as OP). Just because they don't appeal to you, that does not invalidate someone else's game experience and enjoyment :)

Anything you want to share about Risus and what makes it fun in your opinion?

Board games have a predefined goal. They aren't designed around collaborative, open-ended storytelling like roleplaying games are.

Risus is quick and simple and can be used for any kind of story and setting you want to build a silly little adventure in. Good for when you want to play something with folks and not have a lot of preparation or hassle.
