Interest check/Bundle notice: Fiasco--an all time great--on Bundle of Holding

[Hector Trelane]

Just today: Fiasco, plus many more by legendary game designer Jason Morninstar, is on the Bundle of Holding: https://bundleofholding.com/presents/Fiasco

You can already run Fiasco on FG--see here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?47365-FGDaze-Fiasco-(Learn-to-Play). I'm improving this CoreRPG-based ruleset (still need to swap in the proper fonts). I'll share as a Community ruleset once final (in the form of a module. This likely means with no content... or at least only playsets that authors have granted public rights to). But this is such a rules light game it shouldn't be a problem.

Other titles in this bundle are already on my to-do list for running in FG: Carolina Death Crawl and The Skeletons.

Speaking of which--interest check: Who's interested in a monthly "indie story games" one shot series to be run on Friday or Saturday nights, US Eastern? Games could include:

Fiasco
Ten Candles
Bluebeard's Bride
Carolina Death Crawl
The Skeletons
Juggernaut
...and more [add your's here]


Edit: to be clear, suggestions 2 through 6 are standalone games, not Fiasco playsets.

Hey Hector I'll be up for that "trouble" one shot scenario set in DC that you proposed awhile back to Chris and I! What was the full title again?

The time slot won't work for me, but I can recommend Montsegur 1244 and Penny for my Thoughts as other Indie games to try out.

Good thought. I hadn't heard of these.

Lots of innovation in gaming these days.

Re:Fiasco, not yet, but haven’t forgotten. This is waiting for me to get through a couple real life responsibilities (stupid real life). Hope by late spring or early summer I will make the changes needed which include two areas: usability improvements, and intellectual property compliance.

Re: the other indie one shots prob not since it’d need official permission.

New indie game begun today: Bully Pulpit Games' Carolina Death Crawl. This is a narrative game that plays something like a (single playset) gritty, tragic version of Fiasco (rather than the black comedy of that game).

Of course, I forgot to take screen shots but will grab some when the second half of the game is played in two weeks. Here are some desktop design screen views:

We had a great run yesterday in session two of Carolina Death Crawl as the plot thickened and all but one player met their fate on the chaotic, war-torn trail back to New Bern. We found our narrative rhythm and when the sole survivor read the concluding passage, it put a thematic, poignant punctuation mark at the end of a vivid tale. The card prompts brought to life the time period and players used them to create interesting scenes. Well done!

Some well-done character play with an aristocrat, butt-kicker, swam rat, innocent, and more. This set up led to character interaction you don't get outside a one shot and an interesting storyline!

Had a very fun run of Fiasco, Tales from Suburbia this past weekend. Still tweaking ease-of-play for the various in-game tools to make the gamer run smoothly. Here's a screen shot:
