Fiasco actual play and such

So I ran Fisaco with the Victoria Gamers and holy shit, does this sucker run smooth. As predicted, once I managed to wrap their heads around the basic idea of the system (i.e. your "player character" should be a reprehensible person you can and ideally should want awful things to happen to), everything else was gravy boats.

I was Brendon Stanwick, corporate lawyer and general fuck-arounder, Greg was "Cheddar" Ricky Croegstedder, drug supplier and Great Terrible Beardy Man, Brian was "Revulvih" Cockburn¹, bisexual champion fuck-arounder and drug dealer, Matt was Hugh Buntington, Revulvih's ex-spouse, now homeless and living in the local drainage canal, and Rachel was Duffy Buntington, the trophy wife I was fucking around with (also Hugh's sister). The action started with me hitting Cheddar Ricky's brother Chad with my car, instantly killing him, and my hiding his garbage-bag-wrapped corpse in my garage, with the help of the trophy wife who was implicated in my crime (and, we agreed, left horrible teeth marks on a personal area of my character because she was, uh, "busy" when the accident happened).

From there, the consequences involved my drug-addled wife, Revulvih convincing Hugh to rob my house on his behalf, Duffy's husband Herman Smalls (a Korean war vet we all agreed was played by Clint Motherfucking Eastwood) showing up, me dumping the corpse with minimal fanfare in the drainage canal and then slamming my car into a least two other vehicles (one of which was an ambulance), Revulvih fucking my wife in my bed, Hugh choking Revulvih to death out of jealousy, Cheddar Ricky fighting Herman Smalls to the serious personal injury on (and off) the roof of my house, and more or less all the main players getting arrested, although a surprising number of us survived and left jail without charges due to high rolls and odd favours. Overall, one of the best one-shots I've ever played in, and now that they know how the system (such as it is) works, I'm eager to see what they do with the other playsets.

¹ Yes, I admit that when he said he wanted to play a thuggish drug dealer, I suggested he take a tough-sounding word and misspell it. How that ended up as "Corky goes to Sex Ed", we may never know.
