Fiasco is a role-playing game by Jason Morningstar of Bully Pulpit Games most often and easily described as "The Coen Brothers RPG". Other illustrative comparisons are films like A Simple Plan or Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, the common thread being small-time capers from ordinary people with big dreams getting out of their depth in criminality and over their heads in trouble, lies and death. If you're lucky, your character will end up back where they started with only the benefit of painfully gained wisdom.It's notable in part for two reasons: first of all, it is a simple-to-run, no-prep, no-Game Master system which will produce a stand-alone story. The second is that it is a perfect tool for setting up a perfect storm of Gambit Pileups and sheer incompetence, where you won't know the fools from the pros until the end of the game.Instead of using an Honest Rolls Character or a Point Build System or even crafting a character you want to guide to victory at all, the characters are defined by their driving needs and relationships to each other, chosen from tables in the playset and then set off to collide. A whole bunch of dice are rolled first and then used for this setup (and in the Tilt and Aftermath tables), but then it's all roleplaying. The player in the spotlight plays out a scene and chooses to Establish (set the scene) or Resolve (choose success or failure), with everyone else collectively making the other decision. It's expected that no-one will cover themselves in glory, and if your character's ignominious death is the best turn for the story, embrace it. (They can still appear in flashbacks and such.)The book comes with four basic settings, or "Playsets": "Main Street" (small town USA), "Boom Town" (a mining town in The Wild West), "Tales From Suburbia" (American Suburbia) , and "The Ice" (in and around McMurdo Station in Antarctica); dozens more are available on Bully Pulpit's DropBox.A card-based second edition of Fiasco was released in 2020, which allows for an easier set-up, while making it somewhat harder to create your own playsets. It comes with three playsets: "Tales From Suburbia"; "Poppleton Mall", and "Dragonslayers". | |

Hilarity Ensues: The whole game design is to create characters with tons of motivation and incompetence and get them to end up doing horrible, stupid and dangerous things, or suffering when other people end up doing those things. | |

Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll | |
| Fiasco (Tabletop Game) / int_16e94b0a | comment |
Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll: "Touring Rock Band". "An over-the-top collection of iconic rock and roll glories and unwholesome lunacy. It’s about golden gods rising to fame and falling back into addiction, stupidity and squalid failure." Putting the Band Back Together: "Touring Rock Band 2": The band never quite managed that fame and fortune, and broke up years ago. But the fans could still kill to see you, you would love to capture that old magic, and invoked you need the money even more. | |

Twist Ending | |
| Fiasco (Tabletop Game) / int_19102429 | comment |
Twist Ending: The game lends itself well to this trope, especially the high black roll endings (where the character who failed in all of their scenes suddenly gets the best conclusion), seeing how no plot point is set in stone from the onset, and it's easy to reveal that, say, your character was the Big Bad all along if the final dice roll confirms it. | |

Motivation Index | |
| Fiasco (Tabletop Game) / int_1c26eb57 | comment |
Motivation: The "Needs" on each playset. "For a Need to really kick, both characters [related to it] need to be heavily invested in it— possibly at cross purposes, but invested." Not everyone has to have one, as long as they have connections to the others, and so get sucked into the mess. | |

Captain Ersatz | |

Captain Ersatz: Many playsets are inspired by certain movie or TV show settings in particular. For example, Saturday Night '78 is a riff off Saturday Night Fever. Usually, playsets will contain their sources of inspiration in the "Movie Night" section included under the plot summary. | |

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: It is far more likely that a character, for all their efforts, will end up with this type of ending than a good one. About two-thirds of the Aftermath Table is dedicated to endings such as "Pathetic," "Savage," "Grim," "Merciless," and "The worst thing in the universe." | |

One of the world's most transited airports, full of angry people, and backstabbings a-plenty... | |

No Honor Among Thieves | |
| Fiasco (Tabletop Game) / int_5937a87c | comment |
No Honor Among Thieves: It is definitely up to each individual player how much this is enforced, but the fact that character creation involves all characters having a good reason to back-stab each other (and even in the most chummy of groups, at least one character will always get screwed big time in the final resolution) makes it a very clear intent. | |

Zombie Apocalypse: "Living Dead" - not a whole playset, but an add-on for others. Zombie invasion in '70s New York, in the Wild West, in Dallas while JFK visits, in Raymond Chandler-style '30s Los Angeles. If there's a playset for it, there can be zombies. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| Fiasco (Tabletop Game) / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: The average plot arc of any Fiasco game. By design: Halfway through the game there is "The Tilt" where a "new and unstable element" is added to the story from a table of possibilities such as "Something precious is on fire", "You thought it was taken care of but it wasn't", "Someone develops a conscience", marking the point where the wheels fall off and the story really hurtles towards a trainwreck. | |

Posthumous Character: The book gives some guidance on what to do if your character gets killed off, such as playing How We Got Here flashback scenes, or playing scenes with other characters focusing on your character's goals and the repercussions of their death. It is even entirely possible to start the game with one character's funeral and still have a really successful outing. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
| Fiasco (Tabletop Game) / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: The pool of dice for either good or bad outcomes is limited, so if you keep getting away with it, it's going to catch up with you soon. Conversely, if you keep being beaten down, things are bound to turn around eventually (assuming you live long enough). Of course, the dice pool is common between all the players, so there's no guarantee that it comes back to the people who deserve it. | |

A Simple Plan | |
| Fiasco (Tabletop Game) / int_b0e81c37 | comment |
A Simple Plan: The Tilt element "A good plan comes unraveled"— though if your characters really had a good plan to start with, you may be playing the game wrong. | |

Soldiers at the Rear | |
| Fiasco (Tabletop Game) / int_c3c0768c | comment |
Soldiers at the Rear: "Lucky Strike" Camp Lucky Strike, the US Army's Replacement Depot and temporary home for soldiers on their way to the front lines of World War II in late 1944... and Ground Zero of a thriving black market. | |

Chandler's Law | |
| Fiasco (Tabletop Game) / int_c78e289b | comment |
Chandler's Law: Players are encouraged to toss in plot complications by the handful, and the Tilt phase forces more complications into the story at the halfway point. | |

Stepford Suburbia | |
| Fiasco (Tabletop Game) / int_d93c5989 | comment |
Stepford Suburbia: "Home Invasion" - A nice, clean, friendly middle class neighborhood. But now, property values are falling, crime is rising, standards are falling, and the new people moving in are not like us. (It's up to you to interpret that, from "The neighbours are prejudiced" to "The newcomers are adopting human form to ready the invasion".) | |

No MacGuffin, No Winner: Some Tilt roll resolutions leave this as a story possibility, including "Something Precious Is On Fire". | |

Torches and Pitchforks: "Salem 1692" - there may be a witch, there may be not, but either way you're burning someone. | |

Ham-to-Ham Combat | |
| Fiasco (Tabletop Game) / int_eb0df85e | comment |
Ham-to-Ham Combat: Inevitably, two characters will wind up having a loud, ridiculous, scenery-devouring argument or confrontation, at least once a game. Usually more. | |

Ensemble Cast: The four-scenes-per-player rule ensures that all characters spend roughly the same time under the spotlight. | |
