A few reviews of the Companion are already coming out, and so far they have been fair and positive!
Review: Fiasco Companion (critical-hits.com)
“If you are a hardcore Fiasco addict — especially one attracted to the idea of crafting your own playsets and hacking the system — the Companion is a must buy.”
Opportunity Actions: Misery Loves Company — A Fiasco Companion Review (rpgmusings.com)
“I find the Pro Tips section to be especially useful, as ideas in here can help turn a workable Playset into a burgeoning Fiasco.”
Let us know if you see other reviews. We’ll add more to this list as they come out.

Our somewhat-delayed Playset of the Month for June is Break a Leg!
The director slept with half the cast, your lighting designer is homicidal and that bastard from the Daily News just panned the show in his column. You’ll be lucky on opening night if the cast remembers their lines, nobody mentions the Scottish Play and the scenery doesn’t fall down mid-performance. But hey, the art is all that’s important, right?
This playset, written by Megan Pederson and John Kelly of the Jankcast crew, is a tribute to the grand traditions and superstitions of the Theatre–from the casting couch to the Great White Way.
