Fiasco Expansion Pack: Build-a-Fiasco

“Damn this Fiasco game is ingenious.”

–John Rogers, TV and film writer for Leverage and The Librarians

“Fiasco is unique among RPGs because it encourages us to actively reach for that moment we all dread in most games, that moment when something truly awful is going to happen, with possibly dire results for our characters.”

–Wil Wheaton, Actor and Writer

“I think, for me, there’s a kind of non-Aristotelian catharsis in that active rehearsal of everything I fear and dread and also pine for; it’s a chance to dance with Poe’s Imp of the Perverse, to give in, to make the dangerous choice—it’s the same thing release I get from the act of writing. But writing is a solitary discipline for the most part and Fiasco… Fiasco is so gloriously communal.”

–Kelly Sue DeConnick, Writer ofCaptain Marvel,Pretty Deadly, andBitch Planet

“Fiasco is roleplaying stripped down to sheer elegance, to virtually zero ramp-up time. The notion of playing ambitious crooks with poor impulse control — inspired by a host of movies like Fargo or Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels — is both inspiring and immensely replayable. But the real genius of Fiasco… is that now you can enjoy it in almost any setting you like.”

–Diana Jones Award Committee
