SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: daniel_ream;569090Four is a good number if you're all beginners being guided by an experienced player who will play the minor characters.  Three is good if you're all experienced; if the group dynamics give you problems (it's too easy for two people to gang up on the third) try four.  Five is right out and the game doesn't really work with two.

Two hours is about right if everyone's experienced and moving the game along to a swift conclusion.  More realistically, three.  Longer than that and the game's dragging somewhere.

You don't want to play Fiasco with people who tend towards analysis paralysis.  You should be encouraging people to make their decisions quickly and without thinking too much about them.

Based admittedly on only one play this all sounds about right to me.

There's a ton of good free stuff in terms of playsets available. Google Fiasco rpg and you should find them. The whole playset of the month thing from the website.
I roll to disbelieve.
