Check this out! Evil Hat Productions just published Hocus Focus, a free supplement for the Dresden Files, and it’s a Fiasco playset!
Occult Chicago. Beneath the surface there are movers and shakers, magics and artifacts, all hidden from mortal eyes. There’s so much right there for the taking – money, power, fame, respect – it feels like all you need to is just reach out and grab it. And that’s just what you intend to do. You’ve got supernatural powers, a foolproof plan, and then? Easy street. What could go wrong?
Lurking at the intersection of The Dresden Files RPG by Evil Hat and Fiasco by Bully Pulpit, Hocus Focus is a Dresden Files themed playset for Fiasco — with a twist. You play the monsters – and your schemes are under investigation by Harry Dresden. Explore the Dresden-inflected fun when bad things done by bad people go very, very badly indeed!
You can download Hocus Focus for free from DriveThruRPG right now, as an early Halloween treat! Alternately, if you don’t already have both Fiasco and Dresden Files, you can buy the special discounted bundle of The Dresden Files RPG: Your Story, Fiasco, and Hocus Focus for only $30!

Some of you have noticed that the website for Indie Press Revolution, our primary distributor, is down. We know about that, and we’re very sorry for the trouble. If you’re interested in buying our games, you can still order them from us directly. Just drop us a line (using the Contact Us link above) with your shipping information and details about what you’d like to buy. We’ll set up an order via Paypal and get you your books right away.
As an added bonus, if you buy two books (Fiasco and the Companion, or perhaps the Shab-al-Hiri Roach) we’ll throw in free U.S. shipping, just as our way of saying thanks and sorry for the added trouble!
Update: We’ve changed the “Buy Now” buttons for these products to use a Paypal shopping cart. Just select the books you want and pay through Paypal and we’ll get your order to you as soon as possible. Thanks!

Hey look! Bully Pulpit Games now has a wiki!
Our current goal is to make it a one-stop shop for Fiasco playsets, much like Bryant Durrell’s comprehensive listing but with all the playsets hosted locally and available for download. We’ve already had lots of help getting things running from our friends Bryant, David Artman, Tim Rodriguez and Pete Douglas. We’d like your help as well!
If you are the author of an existing playset and would be willing to let us add it to the collection, we need you to 1) give us permission and 2) consider helping us by adding your work to the site yourself.
If you’re interested, contact us at info@bullypulpitgames.com.
For everyone else, we’re looking for enthusiastic people with Mediawiki and/or organization skills who would like to give us a hand with ongoing maintenance and additions as more playsets come out. If that’s you, drop us a line!
We’re also open to suggestions about the best ways to make this a valuable resource for the Fiasco community. What would you like to see?

The September Playset of the Month is Red Front!
If one sets a car on fire, that is a criminal offence. If one sets hundreds of cars on fire, that is political action. –Ulrike Meinhof
Romance, violence, and idealism collide as the world looks on. Since Munich in ‘72, the world has been transfixed by political violence. Some would call it terrorism, others might hail the brave fighters for freedom.
It’s the autumn of ‘77 in Germany and stories of kidnap, murder, and hijacking are front page news. A disparate group of avant-garde academics, youthful political activists, and workers at the end of their tether plot to make the world sit up and take notice.
This Baadar Meinhof Complex-inspired Playset is the result of a collaboration between Malcolm Craig and Per Fischer. It provides a very insular focus on the dubious workings and interactions of people desperate to make the world a better place.
