Ansel's Game Runner Page- https://www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/ansel-burch
Fiasco is a hilarious game of high stakes and poor choices. In this session, we will be playing in an original time travel playset. Anything can happen but we will definitely be traveling through time, building relationships, and trying to maintain a handle on increasingly challenging goals.
This game will be great if you like telling stories together, time travel, and plays with too many doors in them.
We will build characters in the session.
We will be playing together in this session. So the game runner will be playing along with you and just facilitating
This session will be especially good for new players.
The game runner is very familiar with this system.

A game of Fiasco system, facilitated by Ansel Burch.
The rush and quickening is upon the market and shoppers have once again been called to answer their bargainlust through nothing less than one on one combat mortal and foul skulduggery.

Raptor Peak: All's Well That Hearthwell
A game running in the Fiasco ruleset, led by Ansel Burch.

This week may be the true test of Eldon Hearthwell's hospitality when the inn plays host to not only the usual tourists but also his own family! Will the idyllic town on Raptor Peak meet with their standards? Will there be enough in the pantry? Will a terrible mishap throw a further wrench into the works? Find out in this month's story set in Raptor Peak.
This game will be great if you like Death at a Funeral, Noises Off, Rumours, Blame it on the Bellboy.
We will prepare characters in session.

This game will be very comedic and will prioritize role play over combat.

Idiocy on Ice
A game using the Fiasco rules, led by Nathan Cavaliere.
"Things were already running off the rails before you came in, but this is the story of the events leading up to the moment when the scatstorm broke out and everything fully fell apart. Those events are mostly your fault. It was scarcely a year ago when the international community established the 1Responsible research station in Antarctica. Due to various mysterious circumstances involving unexpectedly militant donors, mysterious chanting beneath the ice, and an elephant seal breeding ground, the expedition failed. You will be playing as the group of fresh meat who were so unfortunately sent to return to the site and continue 1Responsible's mission: to enact deep bore drilling using a particle accelerator. But some of them just couldn't be happy with the bare minimum and got more ambitious with their plans. All of these plans ended up going disastrously wrong over the span of a few days. Join us for Idiocy on Ice: a homebrewed playset for Fiasco: The Storygame of Powerful Ambition and Poor Impulse Control.
Good if you're a fan of zany comedy, plays with too many doors and Cohen brothers films.
Content warnings - comedy violence, poor choices.
No prep necessary. Game will be played on Discord with a Jamboard component.
