All the Damn Time

Posted by Jason on August 17th, 2010 — in Fiasco, Uncategorized

Will Hindmarch has built a mind-bending Fiasco playset, in a Primer/Timecrimes sort of way, and I love it. All the Damn Time needs playtesting from experienced Fiasco players (it is not an ideal first playset). If that’s you, check it out, give it a try, and report back. If you are interested in how far you can push the game’s constraints, I think this set is a good example along one axis.

Indie RPG Awards

Bully Pulpit Games wins in the Best Support category for Fiasco, for which I am very grateful! It is a vote of confidence for what at times felt like absolute folly. Congratulations to Danielle Lewon, who had a very good year with Kagematsu, John Harper, who killed everyone with fire with Lady Blackbird, and Paul Tevis, who rightly won the Most Innovative award for A Penny For My Thoughts.

Vigilance Press Podcast, Me, Zombies

Posted by Jason on August 4th, 2010 — in Fiasco

Mike Lafferty and Dan Houser invited me to talk with them on the Vigilance Press podcast and I was happy to oblige! Dan’s a talented artist and Mike’s a writer (currently working on a super cool port of Mutants and Masterminds to the Great War, which fills me with joy), so we had lots to talk about. Check it out here.

Fiasco review at rpg.net

Jeff Moeller lays it out. A balanced but positive review like this, from someone you don’t know, is utterly fantastic. Naturally I disagree with every point upon which he dings my precious and flawless darling, but it shows that he was reading and observing critically, and that’s a huge gift.
