Some pics from our Wednesday game night. We continued our Apocalypse World campaign at my table. Dan facilitated Avery Mcdaldno and Mark Diaz Truman’s The Deep Forest at his table. I imagine we will discuss both on next week’s podcast.

Thanks to Daniel Lewis for his help at the other table and to everyone else who came out to play: Scott Owen Russell Benner David LaFreniere Gary Wilson Derek Grimm Daniel Fowler and Kristen D!

We played Fiasco for Story Game Sunday this week. The playset was The Beast of Sucker Creek. 

It was hilarious, and a lot dark, dirty fun. We had a crooked, murderous sheriff; an ancient feud between swamp families; Dukes of Hazard-style jailbreaks; and a money-making hoax involving one of the characters being allegedly knocked-up by the legendary Beast himself. 

Thanks to Ferrell Riley Russell Benner and Jeff Burke for joining in on this little ‘swamp noir’ adventure. 

I didn’t take any pictures of Mandatory Fun Club: The Meaningless Video Game Competiton, so instead you get this TILF.

It was a blast! There was lots of cheering, laughter, and good clean fun. You can’t really ask for more than that, I suppose.

The winner was Kyle Kowalski. Thanks to him, and everyone else who came out: Kristen D Ferrell Riley Marcus Centurian Scott Owen Russell Benner Jorge Salazar and Stephanie! 

We had a terrific kickoff to our five-session run of Apocalypse World. We managed to minimize the fiddly weirdness of AW and set-up a good framework within which to tell these folks’ stories. Our characters were Dust, the Hocus; Sin, the Brainer; Diem, the Maestro’D; Doc Bon, the Angel; and Nail, the Gunlugger.

Looking forward to Session 2!

Thanks to the people who actually managed to fucking make it out last night: Gary Wilson Russell Benner David LaFreniere Derek Grimm and Scott Owen.

Fiasco is a game that always delivers, and today was no exception. We played the Los Angeles: 1936 playset and it was good fun. Our characters were a dirty cop, trying to make a few bucks on the side while keeping an eye on his two-timing wife; a duplicitous young homemaker with a seedy past, and dreams of getting back in the game and scoring big; a hapless young hood trying to impress his girlfriend by screwing over his boss; and a minor mafioso, desperate to move up the ladder, but destined to always be second banana.

Thanks to our new players for coming out and giving Fiasco a whirl!
