This month’s See Page XX column over at Pelgrane Press includes Nathan Russell’s entry in the RPG Geek playset-writing contest, The Fallout, all prettied up and with the radiation scrubbed off. Good stuff! If you enjoy rat kabobs, that is.
If you live anywhere near Durham, NC do yourself a favor! Grab some friends and come to our next “Taste of Fiasco” event at Sci-Fi Genre Comics and Games on Saturday, April 2 from 1pm to 5pm.
Jason and Steve will both be there to play games, sign books, and cause as much trouble as we are legally allowed. In addition, we’re planning to have special guest Chris Bennett (author of the Los Angeles 1936 and Dallas 1963 playsets) on hand to help run games. It is sure to be an afternoon filled with powerful ambition and poor impulse control.
Please join us! No experience is necessary and all materials will be provided. All you need to bring to the table is enthusiasm and creativity, and maybe a few friends who like to have a good time. Due to the possible graphic content, players should be 18 or older. If you want to make sure you get a seat or have any questions, contact Steve at steve@bullypulpitgames.com.

Brad Murray, one of our friends at VSCA (makers of Diaspora and other fine games) had produced a something I’m really in love with: T-72, a Fiasco playset revolving around the miserable crew of a Soviet tank in 1981 Afghanistan. If invading Afghanistan doesn’t qualify as powerful ambition and poor impulse control, I don’t know what does! The playset promises grim topicality, the blackest humor and maybe a touch of pathos. I can’t wait to try it out.
For those of you following our progress, I dish some tasty dirt on the upcoming Fiasco Companion to our friends at Gnome Stew.
