Fiasco door Jason Morningstar

An excellent indie game, although strictly for one-shots. Explicitly story-oriented and cinematic, so may not be well suited to folks looking for a more traditional RPG experience. But this is probably my favorite indie game at this point; I enjoy it more each time I play.

If you're checking it out, make sure to find all the additional scenarios published for free (as PDFs).

Durance door Jason Morningstar

I read through the book probably for the 3rd time last night in preparation for playing Durance for the first time. The book is well organized and explains things well, though we had a hard time translating it into play (I was the only one of the 4 who had read it). I'm not sure if this is a failure of the mechanic of setting up scenes with questions or a failure of the players to understand our communal goals of telling a story. I think with a few more games and more people having read the book this could be less frustrating.

Other than the problems we had, the game is interesting, has great setting and character generation, and sparks endless stories in my mind.… (meer)
