Our friends Will Hindmarch and Kenneth Hite got together to produce a new Fiasco playset (having previously collaborated on London 1593). Bookhounds Fiasco is based on Hite’s hugely popular Trail of Cthulhu setting Bookhounds of London.
The Fiasco Playset of the Month for July is The Penthouse!
Salman bin Nasser al Saud is a Saudi prince, he’s twenty-four years old, and he is heir to one of the biggest fortunes on the planet. Sal’s pride and joy is his penthouse. It’s the most expensive penthouse he and his people could find. It’s in the heart of downtown, has a breathtaking 360-degree view that encompasses the entire city skyline and harbor, and has been the site of some of the most extravagant In some respects, tonight is no different than any other night at Sal’s place. The world’s most moneyed, famous, talented, ruthless, intelligent, and charismatic people–plus those who profit from them– have packed themselves into Sal’s penthouse, and the beats are bumping. And here comes Sal at the stroke of midnight: drunk, not a care in the world, with a crowd of shrieking girls trailing behind him. But what Sal doesn’t know is that this is the last party he’ll ever host at his penthouse. After tonight, everything changes… one way or the other.

Mmmm, gnome stew … delicious!
“For a fan of Fiasco, the Fiasco Companion is a wonderful under the hood look at the inner workings of this brilliant game. The advice for perfecting your game play is spot on and completely usable … It is impossible to read this book and not come away with a short list of things to try in your next Fiasco game.”
Ignition Improv Comedy just posted the first part of a thoughtful, detailed review of Fiasco focusing on the game’s utility as an improviser’s tool. Interesting stuff! Looking forward to part two.
The Walking Eye plays Fiasco: More specifically, they play Dragon Slayers. Logan Bonner’s playset is pretty bullet-proof when it comes to delivering a good time.
And just down the hall in the asbestos-lined test chamber, the Giant Fire-Breathing Robot reviews the game, giving it a 5/5.
Thanks guys!
