Fiasco by @bullypulpithq.bsky.social is such a great game, and it works extremely well as the foundation and engine for fast-paced, personal stories, which put intensely selfish humanity front and center. Great TTRPG, 10/10, highly recommend.

And the Writer Emergency Pack by @johnaugust.bsky.social is an incredible tool for any writer. Usually, it's used to get you unstuck in your writing, help you look at your characters and situations through new and exciting lenses.

I've finished this sort of project twice now, each time resulting in a short novella. Both stories went places and explored themes I wouldn't have thought of, all because of the prompts of the cards, and the restriction and direction of Fiasco.

There's a third one in the pipe right now, with the larger goal of creating a sort of anthology of selfish humanity as a larger collection of these stories. Three stories of greed and trauma, three distinct casts of three characters trying to make it big, or at least make it out alive.
