The illustrious Gauntlet Portland played the Fiasco playset “Dragon Slayers”!

The illustrious Gauntlet Portland played the Fiasco playset “Dragon Slayers”! That’s the fantasy trope-y setting from the exhaustive list of playsets (and now republished in Playset Anthology Vol. 1).

There’s a bit of a tone mismatch between Coen Brothers meets the Dungeons & Dragons (2000) film (real talk? teenage me had such a weird thing for Justin Whalin in that movie), yet we still told of a disastrous plan gone horribly well as expected. Good times were had!

  5. Jason Cordova: Yeah, fortunately I played with Fiasco vets, as this would have been a strange introduction to the game otherwise. While the playset has great fantasy tropes, the game’s structure still mirrors a heist rather than the quest or hero’s journey those fantasy tropes want us to fall back on. So “Dragon Slayers” ends up in this strange middle ground, not fantasy enough and not Coen Bros enough, imho.

  7. Timothy Bennett Maybe an AP session could take care of that…? Although Gosh Darn Fiasco podcast has been doing a pretty fantastic job of that (and it’s Portland-based improv behind it, at that!).
