FIASCO is a deliciously catastrophic game of powerful ambition and poor impulse control, badly laid plans, and disastrous results. A different setting every time we play - about once a month.

--- *NEXT GAME: ON THE CITY NIGHT BUS (That's my playset, folks - we're playtesting!)

God knows how you got here. Usually you’re great with timing – catching the last train home, or booking a taxi in advance. You never take the night bus. Who are these people?

Night shift workers. Party boys and girls. Hopelessly lost (or adventurous) tourists. Gang members. People down on their luck. People of the night. Each one desperate in their own way… Someone’s sick. Another person just won’t stop talking. That guy looks scary. You're not sure if she's a prostitute. This bus is a honey pot for the dredges of the city. The whole world stuffed in one place… stuck here.

The buzz you rode earlier fades into a killer come-down. Your growing sense of guilt and shame becomes stronger. Basic needs take centre stage in an urgent way - needs that will have to wait. You ask yourself - how will you survive the next hour and half?

The bus takes a torturous route through the city, as if to mock you and your petty concerns. Do you give in - or make a stand?

Games take an average of 3 hours to play, and resolve in one sitting. Teaching the rules of the game is simple (no experience needed), and there is little set up time required. The game is heavy on roleplay, so come prepared to talk in character. Settings change each month. Play is first come first serve each week, for up to 5 players.

If you enjoy when things go horribly wrong; if you RP for the story first and foremost; or if you just want to do something different from your normal dungeon delve this week... then welcome friend, and sign up here!

NOTE: We will be playing via Google hangout, so you will need a microphone - and it's more fun if we can also see each other.

ANOTHER NOTE: Fiasco as a game often contains adult themes (e.g. sex, death, violence, the crushing banality of everyday life...where was I? ...oh yes - adult themes.) I'm aware that kids sometimes find their way on roll20 - if you are under 18 please let me know. I have no desire to corrupt the minds of innocents!
