Fiasco - Things Will Go Wrong
« on: July 01, 2013, 12:37:41 pm »

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to a forum game without happy ending.

Fiasco is inspired by cinematic tales of small-time capers gone disastrously wrong – particularly films like Blood Simple, Fargo, The Way of the Gun, Burn After Reading, and A Simple Plan. You’ll play ordinary people with powerful ambition and poor impulse control. There will be big dreams and flawed execution. It won’t go well for them, to put it mildly, and in the end it will probably collapse into a glorious heap of jealousy, murder, and recrimination. Lives and reputations will be lost, painful wisdom will be gained, and if you are really lucky, your guy just might end up back where he started.

Note: the game uses almost exactly the same structure as its pen-and-paper counterpart. I believe it will work better if the players do not know the rules before we need them, though I can't stop you from looking them up.

Still interested? Good. Here are the sign up rules.

I'd like in. May this end better than the last attempt (by which I mean, actually begin).

I don't really care, so Boomtown.

I'm tempted to say "The Ice" just to make it a tie...
