That's a fantastic game, you won't regret playing it.Sagrilarus wrote: I purchased the RPG Fiasco, based on Matt's excellent write-up on it in his new book. This is a GM-less RPG that is designed to play like a Coen Brothers movie.

Are you still in Texas?
I live in Flagstaff AZ and commute every week to west texas. Thus my relative ambivalence about what should be something that I was out till 5am this morning drinking about.

Oh God yes.
I have a recorded session and I ruined some paperwork watching it because I spit coffee.

I bought it and have barely skimmed it, but it looks cool.

Invaders from Afar has been on my radar since Scythe dropped. I love Scythe, I'll probably never play with 7 players but having the extra factions will be cool.

I would buy a $100 copy of The Gothic Game in a heartbeat.

Based on what I played I will probably pick up Bunny Kingdom and Sentient, though I'm waffling on the latter.

What was that house rule that your group used with The Gothic Game? Was it something like your character takes damage if you roll the dice without using the dice cup?

Other than adding in more cards, I don't see how the Gothic Game could be improved without losing its quirky identity. I suppose it would be nice to change the scale of the hitpoints and damage so that it can be tracked with tokens instead of a scoresheet. And miniatures are probably inevitable.

(All are invited to the May Getaway by the way. I've stopped advertising because no one has taken me up on it from here. Don't hesitate to reach out.)
Can anyone give me a quick review on this critter? It will be hitting the table next to Dune, TI3, Civ, other heavy hitters as a lighter alternative, I'd be interested to hear what people think.

I've only played it once, but I was surprised by how much of an abstract it is. There are opportunities to screw your neighbor, but they're usually far less effective than just improving your own position. It's also faster than you think it will be. I think it will make a good contrast to the meatier games you listed.Sagrilarus wrote: Had Photosynthesis show up at my house with a happy birthday note from Amazon yesterday (thank you very much whomever sent it if you're here). Three page rulebook, quite the chunky box. I'm looking forward to cracking it open at the May Getaway two weekends from now.
