Fiasco! Chaos and Drama of Your Own Making

Fiasco | One-Shot

About the adventure

Note: I HIGHLY encourage Custom Requests to plan your session. My listings are more like advertisements for the campaigns and one-shots I am most familiar with, but I am open to many challenges. That said- I do launch listings if they meet the player threshold. A dirty 1970s New York neighborhood. A mad wizard's laboratory. A bustling market in feudal Japan. A rocket to the end of the universe. A luxurious cruise ship launching from modern-day Spain. Any of these and more can be your setting for interpersonal conflict and chaos of Fiasco! This is an ideal "first RPG", as learning the game and building the game world are all part of the experience. If you're looking for one step beyond a murder mystery without having to learn a lot of rules, Fiasco is great. But even experienced role-players will love the feeling of winding their way into a short but sweet story destined to create memorable moments.

How to prepare

If we have chosen to use Roll20, you will need an active account on that site. You will need to have a working microphone of decent quality. You will need to have an understanding of the basics of role-playing in general.

What I provide

Access to Foundry VTT, character voices, ambient music, and essential game rules are all included. I lean towards following the spirit of the rules more than the letter, and I like letting my players create cool moments even if they're not quite allowed in strict gameplay. In fact, collaboration in general is huge. I encourage and delight in players bringing their own touch to the story so long as they don't steamroll the other participants. OOC, I enjoy a spirit of lightness and crack jokes fairly often. I believe I am flexible with a wide range of perspectives and approaches to RPGs. I try to match your energy. That said, I am a fervent egalitarian so if you fear the so-called "woke mind virus" look elsewhere.

Gameplay details

It is difficult to provide content warnings for Fiasco, because the players truly drive the content of the story. It could be squeaky clean or gritty as hell, depending on what playset you decide to use and what story we tell. The story can be funny, scary, tense, romantic, tragic, or all of the above. It is not always easy to see what's coming. I may or may not play an additional character; this is completely your choice. I will briefly explain the use of Lines and Veils prior to any gameplay. The experience also includes one 8-10 minute break around the 2-hour mark.
