1Schert: Fiasco is, to quote, a game of powerful ambition and poor impulse control
2Schert: the very first step is the Setup
3Schert: where we take one of these playsets, roll some dice, and we create the scenario our Fiasco will literally explode out of
4Gula: (Should we just decide on "The Ice" to avoid hassle?)
5Schert: we shall
6Schert: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r2vbyykt33labm0/Fiasco_The_Ice.pdf?dl=0
7Schert: so's I'm clear, @everyone present is interested in participating, correct? :3
8Deleted User 9d10c172: yup
9Schert: in that case
10Schert: !roll 16d6
11DiscoDude: <@Schert> rolled 16d6 for 56 [16d6 = 2, 6, 4, 5, 1, 1, 4, 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 1, 6, 5, 6]
12Schert: Dice Pool: (All gone!)
13Schert: 
14Schert: that's our pool of dice
15Kras|GM: Alrigh
16Gula: Edit to group dice together?
17Schert: thank you
18Schert: in the meantime
19Schert: everyone roll...let's say 1d20 to determine turn order
20Schert: smallest first, highest last
21Schert: !roll 1d20
22DiscoDude: <@Schert> rolled 1d20 for 9 [1d20 = 9]
23Kras|GM: !roll 1d20
24DiscoDude: <@Kras|GM> rolled 1d20 for 20 [1d20 = 20]
25Gula: Er.
26Kras|GM: (hah)
27Deleted User 9d10c172: !roll 1d20
28DiscoDude: <@132242326339846144> rolled 1d20 for 15 [1d20 = 15]
29Gula: Maybe we should do what Krasu was suggesting, and start with the most experienced players (i.e. me and Ryusui).
30Kras|GM: (That might be a good idea)
31Schert: okay, that rules :3
32Schert: so
33Schert: Caillou first, then me
34Gula: Alright.
35Schert: then because they rolled
36Schert: Ommy and Krasu, in that order
37Gula: Now let me remind myself what there is to have here...
38Schert: Caillou -> Ryusui -> Krasudreal -> Ommy -> Caillou
39
40Caillou <- Relationship: (1) Work (6) Professional rivals | Needs: (3) To Get Off... (1) ...on re-watching a DVD of what you did -> Ryusui
41Ryusui <- Relationship: (2) Friendship (6) Dorm room bunkies | Objects: (1) Untoward (5) A dead seal -> Krasudreal
42Krasudreal <- Relationship: (5) Community (2) Search and rescue volunteers | Object: (4) Weapon (4) Fire axe -> Ommy
43Ommy <- Relationship: (4) Crime (1) Smugglers (artifacts, endangered species) | Location: (6) Ross Island (5) The 35-kilometer ice road to McMurdo Station -> Caillou
44Schert: 
45Schert: 
46Schert: just pinned the turn order and the playset we're using
47Gula: Starting with relationship is probably wise.
48Schert: yeah
49Schert: the idea is
50Schert: each of us plays a character, obvs
51Schert: but our characters are bound together by Relationships
52Schert: come to think of it
53Gula: But since we only have one 3 and two 2s, I should keep track of what those bring.
54Schert: ha, one tweak to the turn order XD
55Kras|GM: I just rolled my character in the character generator, should I copy-paste it somewhere?
56Gula: Nope.
57Schert: so my character will have a Relationship with DetectiveCaillou's and Krasu's
58Schert: yeah
59Schert: we literally don't know who your character is going to be till we're done with this step
60Schert: because, again
61Schert: our characters are defined by our Relationships
62Deleted User 9d10c172: BRB gonna get some water.
63Kras|GM: Gotha
64Schert: so we each take turns picking a die out of that pile
65Schert: and we flesh out the details around our characters
66Gula: Each of us has one fleshed out "relationship" and one fleshed out "other thing" between ourselves and each of the adjacent players' characters.
67Schert: right
68Schert: those are Details
69Schert: a Need (motive >8D), Location, or Object
70Schert: so we each take turns grabbing dice
71Schert: Caillou, you go first
72Schert: (i don't know how easy or hard it is to access pinned messages on mobile ^_^; )
73Schert: also, everyone, make sure you have Fiasco_The_Ice.pdf open
74Schert: this playset is where you will be picking details out of
75Kras|GM: Where is that again?
76Schert: just linked it
77Schert: it's under Pinned Messages
78Kras|GM: oh
79Kras|GM: yeah, I rolled up ^^'
80Schert: ...it *was*
81Schert: 
82Schert: there we go
83Schert: pinned the wrong damn thing
84Gula: Okay.
85Kras|GM: Nah, I had already found it
86Gula: Let's say me and Ryusui are related by Work (1).
87Gula: So now Ryusui removes one 1, and I've decided the broad "relationship" between our two characters.
88Schert: exactly
89Gula: Now Ryusui can A: Zoom in and decide the nature of our work-related relationship...
90Gula: B: Decide the broad nature of the "detail" shared between us (need, location, or object).
91Gula: Or C: Decide something broad between his own character and Ommy's.
92Schert: actually
93Schert: there's no restriction on *who* you can lay down Relationships/Details for 😉
94Gula: Right, right.
95Gula: Was about to ask about that, actually.
96Schert: so I'm gonna go ahead
97Schert: and slap down an Object: (4) Weapon between Krasu and Ommy
98Schert: whatever their relationship is, this weapon is going to be part of it somehow XD
99Kras|GM: Wait what
100Kras|GM: oh boy
101Kras|GM: <@132242326339846144>
102Kras|GM: Stay aware
103Schert: now note
104Schert: we don't know yet *what* the Work relationship between Caillou and me is
105Gula: To be clear, you can't have a need *and* a location, for instance. Just two things total, and "relationship" has to be one of them.
106Schert: or what the weapon I just declared exists is 😉
107Schert: also, right
108Schert: each Relationship has one and only one Detail tied to it
109Schert: so Krasu
110Deleted User 9d10c172: oh gotcha
111Deleted User 9d10c172: So someone can say...Butcher Knife or Baretta 9mm
112Gula: I forget; what's the need/location/object distribution supposed to look like for four players?
113Schert: right
114Schert: the only hard and fast rule is "at least one each of Object, Need, and Location"
115Schert: we can double up on any one of those
116Schert: but we can't, say, have three Objects and one Need
117Schert: or three Needs and one Location
118Schert: so
119Gula: Right.
120Schert: Krasu, if it helps
121Kras|GM: Oh, so I can decide what weapon it is?
122Schert: you can totally do that
123Schert: so long as there's a die in the pool with that number on it
124Gula: Also, once you're out of one type of die result, you can't pick any options corresponding to it. Until the final one, that is, which is wild.
125Schert: like, you can decide it's a Butcher Knife
126Schert: but that will consume one of the "1" dice we have left
127Schert: and yeah
128Schert: the very last die is wild and can be anything
129Schert: also, the dice pool is pinned
130Gula: Oh!
131Gula: We should be writing relationship cards.
132Kras|GM: at which point do we decide what is what?
133Schert: already done
134Schert: i added it to the turn order pin
135Schert: like I said
136Schert: we have a pool of dice which i rolled at the start of the setup
137Gula: This format feels messy.
138Schert: I've pinned the list
139Schert: pick a die from that which matches the category you want to pick for an element, or the item from that category that you want to incorporate
140Schert: again, it's like the Palette in Microscope, only this is all "YES" and no "NO" XD
141Gula: **CAILLOU | RYUSUI**
142Relationship: 1 - Work, ? - ???
143???: ? - ???, ? - ???
144Gula: ^Better?^
145Schert: i'll edit it to something clearer once we're done 😉
146Schert: sooooo Krasu
147Schert: are you still unclear what to do, or are you picking?
148Deleted User 9d10c172: P much you can also make us "fuck buddies" <@Kras|GM> under friendships
149Kras|GM: I am thinking a hunting gun...
150Schert: there's no hunting gun on the list
151Schert: you have to pick *from the list*
152Kras|GM: Where's the list again?
153Schert: i linked it!
154Schert: but I'll relink
155Kras|GM: Theres weapons there?
156Deleted User 9d10c172: 1 Butcher knife
1572 Ice axe 
1583 Signal flare
1594 Fire axe
1605 Five liter jug of aviation fuel
1616 Beretta 9mm pistol
162Schert: there we go, thank you Ommy
163Schert: the list will be under Objects 😛
164Deleted User 9d10c172: 👌
165Kras|GM: thanks
166Schert: it's category 4
167Kras|GM: Hey, how about the fire axe?
168Schert: okay, then!
169Kras|GM: By the way, I still can't find it in the PDF, which page it was?
170Kras|GM: Ah
171Schert: pages 8/9
172Kras|GM: found it
173Kras|GM: thanks
174Schert: Relationships, Needs, Locations, Objects, in that order
175Schert: view in Two-Page mode if you can, with Show Cover Page
176Schert: <@132242326339846144>!
177Deleted User 9d10c172: Okay so, I'll pick...
178Gula: Krasudreal has just clarified the "object" between himself and Ommy to be Weapon (4), Fire Axe (2). Now it's Ommy's turn to decide a connection, or clarify an existing one.
179Schert: or pick a category for a detail attached to someone else's Relationship 😉
180Schert: (even the ones that haven't been defined at all yet, which is "everyone's except mine and Caillou's")
181Deleted User 9d10c172: So what will Needs be?
182Deleted User 9d10c172: Only one person?
183Gula: One pair of people.
184Schert: yep
185Deleted User 9d10c172: O gotcha,
186Schert: the need may belong to only one, technically
187Gula: Or two, if all three have been picked.
188Schert: but it will define the relationship between the two
189Schert: and yeah, we can have two Needs on the table
190Schert: or two Objects, two Locations
191Schert: so long as we have a Need, an Object, and a Location on the table
192Schert: the last Detail can be any of the three
193Schert: you can pick another Object, if you like, and that means we *have* to pick a Need and Location attached to other relationships XD
194Gula: Please don't; I got plans. >_>
195Deleted User 9d10c172: Needs: 3: 1: with <@Schert> and <@Gula>
196Schert: uh
197Schert: you can only pick one die at a time
198Deleted User 9d10c172: Oh whoops
199Deleted User 9d10c172: Then 3
200Deleted User 9d10c172: 3 To get off
201Schert: you can totally lay down Needs: (3) To Get Off between us
202Deleted User 9d10c172: yea
203Schert: but you can't pick the specific detail yet
204Deleted User 9d10c172: ye
205Gula: Dang. I had plans for that 3... *cough temple cough*
206Schert: you mean "a secret shrine"?
207Gula: Yeah.
208Schert: that strikes me more like in the "stalker shrine" sense XD
209Schert: like someone having a weird shrine to someone or something hidden in their room
210Gula: Would've been perfect for Flor-oh.
211Schert: oh, or the Shrine to Kali that set folks on edge in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
212Schert: (the movie, not the comic)
213Schert: though an angelic shrine hidden somewhere on base would *totally* be a possibiity XD
214Schert: anyways, your turn!
215Gula: Alright.
216Gula: Defining Location: Ross Island (6) between myself and Ommy.
217Gula: Actually, no, wait.
218Gula: ... Yeah, I'm going with that.
219Schert: all right, then
220Schert: i'ma grab a 5 and pick Relationships: (5) Community between Krasu and Ommy :3
221Kras|GM: Well
222Kras|GM: This makes things incredibly easy. Were you playing into this, Ryusui?
223Kras|GM: I will define the relationship with the a two dice, Search and rescue volunteers
224Gula: 2 and 4 are both dangerously low...
225Schert: Ommy?
226Schert: also, your relationship with Krasu is now fully defined XD
227Schert: also wow, you're right
228Schert: I wasn't even gunning for that and a fire axe connected with you two would totally make sense
229Deleted User 9d10c172: I'm going with my last one
230Deleted User 9d10c172: 1 …on re-watching a DVD of what you did
231Deleted User 9d10c172: for Ryusui and Detective
232Schert: heh. so our characters probably did something questionable XD
233Gula: Or are going to, in the future?
234Schert: halfway done!
235Schert: Caillou? :3
236Gula: Alright...
237Schert: we still need Relationships between me and Krasu, and you and Ommy
238Schert: and other details
239Schert: well, one more detail category, anyway
240Gula: Debating between snapping up the last 4 for Ross Island's volcano, or throwing a 1 at Krasu and Ryusui for an "Untoward" object.
241Schert: your call!
242Gula: I'm going with the latter.
243Gula: Ryusui and Krasu are now connected by an Untoward Object. :3
244Schert: okay!
245Schert: then I'm gonna grab that last 4 and lay down Relationships: (4) Crime between Caillou and Ommy :3
246Schert: Krasu! :3
247Kras|GM: Hmmm...
248Gula: Yeah, the character I was beginning to envision wasn't one for epic over-lava confrontations, anyways. XD
249Schert: note that Caillou's contribution is the first thing added to our relationship XD
250Schert: like, it was completely blank until this turn
251Kras|GM: Okay, I feel like this one is getting harder for me to decide
252Kras|GM: I am...
253Gula: Yes?
254Kras|GM: Can I place another object between Ryusui's and my character?
255Schert: nope!
256Schert: you can nail down what the object between us is
257Schert: but the Object (1) Untoward is the detail between us
258Gula: There are some juicy ones in there, too. :3
259Kras|GM: I am going to define the object to be a dead seal, with the 5 dice
260Gula: Whoa.
261Schert: in this context, holy shit
262Schert: that means someone's corpse XD
263Schert: or...maybe just a nonsapient animal?
264Schert: i dunno? XD
265Gula: Is there a seal species?
266Kras|GM: I think a nonsapient animal
267Schert: Ommy, your turn~
268Kras|GM: becuase...
269Kras|GM: there are other options that give a dead body, I think
270Kras|GM: Let's just say that it is some "Protected animal", in the ecological sense
271Schert: <@132242326339846144>
272Deleted User 9d10c172: I'm looking at what I can do
273Schert: lemme refactor the sheet a bit
274Schert: there we go
275Schert: (?) --- means something that's not filled in yet
276Deleted User 9d10c172: Ryu and Cailou with...
277Deleted User 9d10c172: 6 Professional rivals
278Gula: Alright.
279Gula: My turn, then.
280Gula: My last choice...
281Schert: the two relationships that still need to be fleshed out are mine and Krasu's and yours and Ommy's
282Gula: I'm going to say that Ryusui and Krasu have (2) Friendship.
283Schert: cool :3
284Schert: gonna take that 5 and nail down The 35-kilometer ice road to McMurdo Station
285Kras|GM: "Hey, friend, I have a problem..."
286"What is it?"
287"I ran over an endangered animal."
288Gula: I think a 6 would make the most sense for that relationship, Krasu. You should decide for yourself, though.
289Kras|GM: Oh, sorry, which one again?
290Gula: What you just described.
291Schert: basically
292Kras|GM: Oh yeah, I'll slap a 6 on it
293Schert: 1 means our relationship is antagonistic, 6 means we're friends XD
294Schert: still going with that 6?
295Kras|GM: Yeah
296Schert: Ommy, the last die is wild.
297Schert: there's one last detail to flesh out
298Gula: My crime relationship with you.
299Schert: yep
300Schert: and it can be anything on that list
301Gula: <@132242326339846144>?
302Schert: <@132242326339846144>
303Schert: i think he's passed out again >_>
304Schert: i, uh
305Schert: i don't mean to be mean to the guy but it's starting to feel like including him in these gatherings might be a bit problematic
306Schert: at least Krasu warns us when he's about to go to sleep ^_^;
307Gula: I don't think he saw it coming, either. ^_^;
308Schert: Testing, testing, one two three
309Kras|GM: I myself was caught a bit flat-footed
310Kras|GM: Y-yeah

317Schert: got one last pick
318Schert: and it's yours
319Schert: wild card
320Schert: go go go go go
321Deleted User 9d10c172: 1 Smugglers (artifacts, endangered species)
322Deleted User 9d10c172: for Crime
323Schert: heh, that was the die we had left anyway XD
324Schert: but okay! XD
325Deleted User 9d10c172: I didn't even know lol
326Deleted User 9d10c172: It just fits in with the dead seal and sutgf
327Schert: so that's it then!
328Gula: OH MY GOD, YOU GUYS KILLED OUR CARGO GODDAMMIT.
329Kras|GM: XD
330Gula: But you don't know it's someone's cargo. >8D
331Schert: **Dr. Summer Hollies (Caillou) <- > Dr. Fred MacGyver (Ryusui)**

347Schert: yeah, sorry, hit enter instead of shift-enter by mistake
348Schert: so yeah
349Gula: So me and Ommy conveniently "lose" and "obtain" things on the road between McMurdo and Ross Island.
350Schert: yep
351Deleted User 9d10c172: >:3c
352Schert: so here's what I'm thinking
353Schert: if Caillou and I are professional rivals
354Gula: While I'm... professional rivals with a volunteer rescue worker?
355Kras|GM: No no no
356Schert: and Krasu and Ommy are volunteer rescue workers
357Kras|GM: Me and Ommy are olunter rescue workers
358Gula: Oh.
359Gula: Then what are we, Ryusui?
360Schert: that suggests Caillou and I are base staff, and Krasu and Ommy are, well, volunteers on-site
361Deleted User 9d10c172: :3
362Schert: there's also a nice parallel there
363Schert: we're both connected to someone outside our "official" circles
364Gula: I think the seal and whatever it is I want to jack off to a recording of after the fact are connected.
365Schert: me and Krasu as friends, you and Ommy as partners in crime XD
366Schert: oh jeez XD
367Deleted User 9d10c172: oh boy
368Kras|GM: Is "Getting off" taken on the jack off sense always?
369Schert: 
370Deleted User 9d10c172: I think it could mean both ways
371Deleted User 9d10c172: Kicking the Habit or Pleasuring oneself with it

382Deleted User 9d10c172: I need to continue doing sex or get off it
383Schert: well, I'm perfectly fine with reinterpreting the literal meaning for the sake of a good story
384Deleted User 9d10c172: something like that
385Schert: what I'm thinking is
386Gula: And jerk off to it saying "mmm yeah I was so sexy getting away with that..."
387Schert: Krasu and I fucked up whatever you and Ommy were up to
388Schert: and the seal is proof of that
389Deleted User 9d10c172: And then I'm like, "Suuuuuuure..."
390Schert: or rather
391Gula: I think my character miiiight be messed up. XD
392Deleted User 9d10c172: as I sit in the corner.
393Schert: we may have killed the seal by accident, and sabotaged your work in the process XD
394Schert: tbh
395Gula: I decided.
396Schert: i'm thinking maybe "what we did" was something we did as non-rivals in the past
397Schert: we're professional rivals now but the DVD is, i dunno
398Deleted User 9d10c172: "I did not have sexual relations with that video tape."
399Gula: That my character is basically Bad Girl from No More Heroes, without as much murder, or the loli dress.
400Schert: maybe something we did (or *did*), or something that made us professional rivals
401Gula: "Drunk psycho bitch."
402Schert: and holy shit now, I'm thinking maybe the implication is that the DVD is something that implicates *both* of us

412Schert: you and Caillou's characters are smugglers of some sort
413Kras|GM: I think my character will be the kind of the person who is the embodyement of "gentle giant", so gentle he might look dumb at times... But he probably is just *normal* intelligence.
414Schert: and you're juggling that with being a rescue volunteer
415Schert: and between you and Krasu is a *fire axe* XD
416Kras|GM: Yeah, that one is, ooof
417Schert: oh man.
418Deleted User 9d10c172: So I am __Stressed Out Femboy__
419Kras|GM: Well, we're rescue workers, the fire axe is ez
420Schert: Krasu, your character is going to be that one guy who either dies horribly and undeservedly
421Schert: or the one guy to get out alive
422Kras|GM: This is fiasco
423Kras|GM: is there any survivors?
424Schert: there can be
425Gula: I think "stressed out" fits something like a repressed homosexual better.
426Schert: it depends on how the dice shake out 😉
427Kras|GM: Bullshit
428Kras|GM: JK
429Schert: so that's another thing I need to explain
430Deleted User 9d10c172: I mean...I am working two jobs
431Deleted User 9d10c172: One with...you
432Deleted User 9d10c172: And the other with Krasu
433Kras|GM: And they are
434Kras|GM: almost the opposite things
435Gula: Like, lanky fellow, the type you'd find at a gas station?
436Schert: we each get to set a scene with our characters
437Schert: and we choose to either Establish or Resolve
438Schert: that is
439Schert: either we decide "this scene will go my character's way, or not" (white die or black die)
440Schert: and let the others set the scene
441Schert: or we set the scene ourselves, and let others decide how the outcome should go
442Deleted User 9d10c172: <@Gula> more like Lanky Fellow at a gaybar with the lisp.
443Schert: and we hold onto those outcome dice
444Schert: at least, for the first half
445Schert: for the second half, we take those dice and hand them off to someone else :3
446Gula: Again, I dunno if "stressed out" meshes with that.
447Deleted User 9d10c172: I drink my sorrow away
448Schert: so I'm thinking my character is an _Okay Guy With a Troubled Past_
449Schert: he just wants to do his fricking job
450Gula: Which is... What *are* our jobs, Ryusui? You and me, I mean.
451Schert: he's got a friend who totally isn't in his camp mentally (or so he thinks) but they are physically sharing the same room
452Schert: we're on The Ice, aren't we?
453Schert: we're scientists/researchers XD
454Gula: Right, right.
455Deleted User 9d10c172: oh boy
456Schert: at the same time his fate is inextricably tied with that of an old lover who he used to commit Indescribable and Unspeakable Acts with
457Kras|GM: Wait, and I share a bunk with Ryusui's
458Schert: and who still has the frickin' *video* of one of those encounters
459Schert: that's what I said
460Kras|GM: Ah, right
461Schert: my character thinks of you as "the dumb friend" XD
462Gula: My character is playing fast and... loose with what's expected of her? She's playing loose, anyway.
463Schert: and he's probably going to get proven wrong
464Deleted User 9d10c172: ~~comes to the realization he is literally playing Maxx~~
465Kras|GM: ~~Literally playing anti-Rila~~
466Gula: She doesn't get much actual science done, anyway.
467Schert: but she gets paid the big bucks regardless XD
468Kras|GM: HEH
469Kras|GM: She's providing with...
470Kras|GM: specimens
471Kras|GM: Eeeeyyy
472Gula: TBH, nobody's talked to her about this because they are just plain *scared* of her.
473Schert: so I think my character is gonna be a Fred or a Frank. Hmm. Fred MacGyver. XD
474Schert: (hey, if you can have a villain named Judas Klonoa, I can sure as hell have a Dr. MacGyver. XD)
475Gula: Not physically, but attitude-wise.
476Gula: (See above excerpt from one of several drunken tirades.)
477Schert: and if we're doing this in Floraverse I'm thinking he's a pint-sized Singing Rabbat with big round glasses. XD
478Gula: Now remember, he's a rescue worker, too.
479Schert: on that note, what would be the equivalent of Ross Island in Floraverse?
480Schert: *He's not, Caillou*
481Schert: it's Krasu and Ommy's characters who are 😛
482Gula: Riiiight, right.
483Kras|GM: Since I am making an anti-Rila, then I'll have her be Called "Lara" and be a manticore as well...
484
485...
486
487... I am a sucker for manticores.
488Schert: cool :3
489Schert: so, Ommy, Caillou?
490Gula: Meanwhile, I'm a Flowercat.
491Deleted User 9d10c172: Hmm...I'm thinking Maxx...but uh hmm
492Kras|GM: (BRB)
493Gula: (Also, not the species and gender I envisioned for a "gentle giant".)
494Deleted User 9d10c172: He is a PSI Affinity Foxbat so.
495Deleted User 9d10c172: eh fuck it, Maxx
496Gula: Is that allowed?
497Schert: i got no objections
498Schert: so long as Ommy's okay with this Maxx having Bad Shit Happen To Him XD
499Deleted User 9d10c172: I'll say he can't read minds without permission
500Deleted User 9d10c172: And yea
501Deleted User 9d10c172: I'm fine with that.
502Deleted User 9d10c172: And the only other ways for him to be actually intelligent is have any of the Spirit Affinties
503Gula: One more thing.
504Gula: About the video.
505Schert: it's our sex tape, obviously.
506Schert: the last evidence we were ever a thing.
507Schert: and, uh.
508Gula: I still say it should be something I'm *planning* on doing in the future, involving you, and humiliation somehow.
509Schert: the last evidence Dr. Fred was anything but strait-laced XD
510Gula: Ryusui?
511Gula: Because I dunno, I can't see what you suggested playing into the rest of the plot.
512Schert: well, arrite
513Schert: what's your good doctor's name, then? :3
514Gula: Hm... Summer Hollies, based on one of the few legit named characters in the OG No More Heroes, since I'm basing some of the personality on Bad Girl.
515Gula: So!
516Gula: How are our individual character cards formatted, again?
517Schert: a name, a relationship, a detail
518Schert: that's pretty much all we need methinks?
519Schert: oh
520Schert: and we need to keep track of who has what color dice
521Schert: so I just pinned the charsheets to the ic chat for easy reference
522Deleted User 9d10c172: Question, should I use this version of Maxx?
523Deleted User 9d10c172: 
524Deleted User 9d10c172: Or the other one
525Schert: it's whatever you like XD
526Deleted User 9d10c172: I'll stick with this one, Giant flowerbudd Maxx.
527Schert: i imagine he'll need to dress warm
528Schert: given we're in the frozen wastes XD
529Deleted User 9d10c172: Yeah heh
530Gula: Far northern islands of Glissod, where not even Pygmy Pyzkies nor Borealian Foxes dare live.
531Deleted User 9d10c172: I mean it is a plant, some plants are resistant to frost right?
532Deleted User 9d10c172: and I am definitely sure plants like that have resistance to ice
533Deleted User 9d10c172: In flora
534Gula: So...
535Schert: i have never watched an episode of Friends in my life
536Schert: but I am officially naming this place Chandler Island
537Gula: Are we starting tonight?
538Schert: if we want!
539Gula: It's kinda late...
540Deleted User 9d10c172: I'm p sure it depends on Krasu
541Kras|GM: Can't finish tonight
542Deleted User 9d10c172: Yeah
543Kras|GM: but we can begin
544Schert: deffo
545Schert: anyways, as an aside
546Schert: we each take turns rp'ing out scenes
547Schert: each of us gets two scenes before the Tilt
548Schert: and two after it
549Schert: the Tilt is where *everything goes to shit* XD
550Schert: so
551Kras|GM: Who begins?
552Schert: well, for the sake of keeping things rolling
553Schert: let's do the same order
554Schert: Caillou first, then me, etc.
555Gula: I think... I'll resolve.
556Gula: That means you guys need to come up with the setup.
557Schert: we're doing this in the <#310920585716957185> chat
558Schert: don't forget to update your nicks 😉
559Gula: (<@!Kras|GM>, <@132242326339846144>. Pay attention.)
560Gula: (Ommy? You ready?)
561Kras|GM: I am here
562Schert: <@132242326339846144> isn't though
563Gula: I'm actually pretty tired, myself.
564Schert: well, if <@132242326339846144>'s not interested in/capable of participating tonight, we can hold off till tomorrow or whenever
565Gula: I dunno if I'm quite at "pass out" territory yet, but I am defo not at my A-game right now.
566Schert: well, let's give Ommy till the half-hour mark
567Schert: then call it quits
568Deleted User 9d10c172: what
569Deleted User 9d10c172: I'm ready yeah
570Deleted User 9d10c172: fuckin
571Schert: nick, please, and check out the <#310920585716957185> channel
572Deleted User 9d10c172: 
573Deleted User 9d10c172: three refs.
574Gula: She obviously meant something along the lines of "it's your ass if something goes wrong". XD
575Kras|GM: (wink wink, I need a tutorial, wink wink)
576Kras|GM: no, seriously
577Schert: np
578Schert: so to reiterate
579Schert: we each take turns with our spotlight scenes like this
580Schert: we can choose to Establish, meaning we set the scene
581Schert: or Resolve, meaning we choose how it goes down
582Schert: if you choose to Establish, the other players get to Resolve
583Schert: and vice versa
584Kras|GM: What is a black die?
585Schert: that means things are going to go badly XD
586Schert: okay
587Schert: Resolve means you pick either white die or black die
588Schert: that indicates how the scene is going to pan out
589Schert: in the first half, you keep the die
590Schert: in the second half, you give it to someone else
591Schert: they will be *important* later 😉
592Gula: Having a balance of the two at the end is *bad*.
593Schert: yes XD
594Schert: basically
595Schert: at the very end, you roll all your dice you've accumulated
596Schert: and your final result determines what kind of outcome is in store for your character
597Schert: black and white cancel each other out
598Schert: so you can think of it as negative and positive dice
599Schert: a balance of the two means lower results
600Schert: and therefore a more brutal ending XD
601Gula: How was my writing?
602Schert: this is gon' be *good* XD
603Kras|GM: It was pretty good
604Gula: BTW, here, it's up to me, Ommy, and Krasu to decide if this ends well, or poorly for Dr. Fred in this upcoming scene.
605Gula: It occurs to me that Dr. Fred may not actually have a fond opinion of Lara. XD
606Schert: that was my idea XD
607Schert: they're "friends" but's maybe a little one-way XD
608Gula: (Is this scene going anywhere?)
609Schert: (it should :3)
610Schert: (remember, Resolving can happen at any point 😉 )
611Gula: Would a call summoning Fred to Chandler Island be white or black?
612Deleted User 9d10c172: **UNHOLY S C R E E C H E S**
613Gula: ???
614Schert: well, I would say a "white die" situation would be Fred getting to politely excuse himself
615Schert: while a "black die" would be, i dunno, Lara getting upset, or Fred being stuck at lunch with her interminably...or both XD
616Deleted User 9d10c172: Maxx's emotions right now p much once he finds out what has happened.
617Deleted User 9d10c172: <@!Gula>
618Gula: Heh.
619Gula: THOSE BE OMINOUS WORDS, FRED.
620Schert: XD
621Gula: (In this world's context, anyways. XD)
622Deleted User 9d10c172: jesus lara
623Schert: good times for now :3
624Schert: so before we get too much further on this i just gotta say i screwed up
625Schert: in act 2 you keep your outcome die
626Schert: in act 1 you pick someone to give it to
627Schert: we'll discuss who gets which of the dice we've gotten so far at the start of the next session
628Schert: also please note
629Schert: there is a fixed number of dice of each color
630Schert: 8 and 8
631Schert: though just like the Setup, the final die is wild
632Schert: that is, as far as determining the final scene's outcome
633Schert: for the Aftermath, where *fates are handed out,* it counts as whatever its actual color is XD
634Schert: so again
635Schert: once Act One has played out (everyone gets two scenes), we have The Tilt
636Schert: we roll the dice we've got, subtract black from white
637Schert: we also roll eight dice, all the ones we haven't assigned yet
638Schert: whoever has the highest black total and white total gets to pick a category from the Tilt Table (page 56 of the Fiasco book) and an item from the category the other person picked
639Schert: using the remaining pool dice, as per the Setup
640Schert: for the Aftermath, we roll all the dice we've got, again, subtract black from white
641Schert: that final total is your character's fate
642Schert: the closer it is to 0, the more brutal it is
643Schert: black totals suggest physical mayhem, white totals suggest mental/social
644Schert: e.g. a low black total implies you get beat up (or worse), maimed for life, etc., while a low white total implies you're a pariah, you have stains on your rap sheet that'll never go away, you'll never be able to look at grapefruit again without having PTSD flashbacks, etc.
645Schert: it should be pointed out that 6-7 is "roughed up and probably going to prison"
646Schert: a 10+ suggests "got away scot free, and actually benefited from the adventure"
647Kras|GM: Clearly, Lara gave DR. Fred a white die then. By not letting him down, right?
648Kras|GM: Lets add revisions at the start of the next game.
649Schert: so, uh
650Schert: i may have overstayed my nap a little
651Gula: It's alright.
652Schert: @everyone interested in continuing tonight?
653Gula: Sure!
654Schert: <@!Kras|GM>? <@!132242326339846144>?
655Deleted User 9d10c172: ye
656Kras|GM: I'm here
657Schert: all right
658Schert: well, i don't know who caught my last-minute convo last night
659Schert: but i screwed up something
660Schert: in Act *2* we keep the dice we're given
661Schert: in Act *1* we pawn our good or bad luck off on someone else
662Schert: so
663Schert: <@!Gula>, who are you giving your black die to?
664Schert: <@!Kras|GM>, are you still giving your white die to Fred?
665Schert: <@!132242326339846144>, who are you giving your white die to?
666Gula: I'm giving the black die to Fred.
667Gula: Lara, does that make you reconsider?
668Gula: The further from zero, the better, after all.
669Deleted User 9d10c172: I'm going to give it to... <@!Gula>  :3c
670Schert: okay, and double-checking with <@!Kras|GM>?
671Schert: who I'm giving my own white die to :3
672Schert: <@!Kras|GM>?
673Kras|GM: Sorry
674Schert: does Fred still get your white die?
675Kras|GM: Yeah, I'll give him the white die
676Deleted User 9d10c172: ouch
677Gula: Uh oh. >:3
678Gula: (Note, giving someone a white die is bad when they have black majority.)
679Schert: that's fine XD
680Schert: i am perfectly fine with Dr. Fred going down in flames if it comes to it
681Schert: it might not happen
682Schert: but I am totally picturing him, bloodstained and charred, holding that damn fire axe after having gone on a rampage, every last ounce of his composure gone XD
683Schert: "STAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE SANDWICHEEEEEEES!"
684Gula: It's just that I remember Lara's reasoning being that she wanted Dr. Fred to have a happy ending. 😛
685Schert: Well, anyways! XD
686Gula: "We're just here to answer some questions." *fucking runs*
687Schert: Yes. XD
688Deleted User 9d10c172: BOOKIN IT
689Gula: My actual plan from the very beginning, believe it or not. >:3
690Gula: (This is as meta-gamey as it gets in Fiasco, boys and girls. XD)
691Gula: Maybe the "black" development is Maxx taking the truck and bolting? XD
692Schert: that's up to him but that's a fun idea XD
693Schert: so relinking this
694Schert: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wuy23jp4okhb5ld/fiasco.pdf?dl=0
695Schert: folks will need to refer to the Tilt Table on 56-57
696Schert: and the Aftermath table on 58-59
697Deleted User 9d10c172: (So many of these fit Maxx jesus)
698Schert: yeah, at this point, either Dr. Fred is going to go berserk, or Maxx is
699Schert: maybe they end up going berserk at each other, I dunno XD
700Deleted User 9d10c172: I'm really in character right now
701Schert: sorry, I was just trying to get Dr. Fred to push people's buttons XD
702Deleted User 9d10c172: And you really pushed Maxx's buttons
703Deleted User 9d10c172: Probably busted a few of them.
704Schert: if it'd been a white die scene we'd have had everyone agreeing to work together
705Gula: Krasu, for future reference, it's better not to ask "who does my character want to win," but rather "who do *I* want to win?" That character doesn't have to belong to you; you can totally root against your own guy, and the people they care about.
706Kras|GM: Alright
707Gula: I'm only slightly hurt, as IMO, I think Dr. Fred has dived straight into "irredeemable" territory. XD
708Deleted User 9d10c172: _Out of my head, out of my heart, out of my mind~_
709Deleted User 9d10c172: A Broken Toy, Tries Tries again.
710Gula: Okay, Discord is seriously acting up on me!
711Gula: I might have to stop after the tilt is decided.
712Deleted User 9d10c172: try reseting the app?
713Gula: I have to every minute because I keep getting lagged out.
714Schert: might be your wireless connection, or Internet
715Gula: Well, a movie just started streaming out there.
716Gula: Multiple people trying to stream tends to mess things up.
717Gula: But it seems to have cleared up.
718Gula: *For now...*
719Gula: Ugh, it's acting up again.
720Gula: I might need to stop after the tilt's been decided.
721Schert: arrite
722Gula: Yeah, it comes in waves, and it's not the kind of problem anything but time can fix...
723Schert: anyways, I think it might be wise to simmer on this for, let's say, 30 minutes?
724Deleted User 9d10c172: sure sure
725Schert: if your connection is working by then we can continue
726Kras|GM: 30 mins? heh, that'll be midnight here
727Schert: and if <@!Kras|GM> is still up for it
728Schert: we can maybe get through Act 2
729Schert: *half of Act 2
730Schert: and save the last four scenes + Aftermath for tomorrow
731Schert: okay so
732Schert: @everyone, who's up for ***START OF ACT 2***
733Deleted User 9d10c172: YEET
734Deleted User 9d10c172: I am
735Kras|GM: I am, how do we do this?
736Gula: Eh, I'm a bit tired, myself...
737Schert: well, we can at least do the first four scenes, and you only *need* to be in one 😉
738Gula: Right, right.
739Kras|GM: who begins?
740Schert: well
741Schert: <@!Gula> XD
742Gula: (Gah, why now?! It's acting up again!)
743Kras|GM: Well, it is starting to look like it would be best to postpone our game
744Schert: yeah, if your connection ain't working and we can't continue...well, your connection ain't working and we can't continue ^_^;
745Gula: I think Discord hates me...
746Gula: Also, for future reference, Aroria is on the continent of Owel, not Glissod.
747Schert: oh, whoop
748Schert: well, let's say they've come a long frickin' way XD
749Schert: (i know nothing about Glissod's geography)
750Gula: (Neither do I; it has not been established at all.)
751Kras|GM: I mean, we can just make up a continent called "the ice"
752Kras|GM: Which is pretty much north pole
753Gula: Nah, we're basically in the far north reaches of basically Scandinavia/Siberia.
754Deleted User 9d10c172: well
755Deleted User 9d10c172: To !end or not?
756Gula: I'm tired, and I'm done with Discord's shit.
