Fiasco Classic - Tumblr Posts
I've been looking forward to letting this one loose! It's a ton of silly fun. No need to have listened to anything else @merelyroleplayers has ever done, this is a clean jumping-on point for a daft three-episode story about geriatric prog rockers, one of whom may or may not be an avatar of Death.
Monumental Exit, Act 1
After 67 years, Bilbo Biltong’s quitting the band. Somewhere out there is a star worthy of stepping into his well worn shoes - but where?

It is an absolutely genius feature of Fiasco that just when you've played enough scenes for your character to claw their way out of the muck they start in, just when your character maybe gets a glimpse of something like resolution, the game has you generate a load more complications - one of which is usually "something precious is on fire"
With all the pieces in place for the final act, the cast finds out some new complications that are sure to upset the board.

I think it was very restrained of us not to bring up the murder until act 2
Bit of terminology clash here - we call our episodes acts, and Fiasco calls everything before the tilt act 1 and everything after it act 2. So Monumental Exit Acts 1 and 2 are act 1 of the game, and Act 3 is act 2 of the game. I had to leave a couple of bits in the edit where I'm like "here we are, im act 2!" but it's in Act 3 😬
Monumental Exit, Act 2
Everything’s ready for Bilbo’s swansong at the Beanstalk, but one roadie’s vendetta against the venue owner threatens to stain his perfect farewell.

And now it finally becomes clear why I put all that fire in the episode art 🔥🗡🐯
Monumental Exit, Act 3
A geriatric crowd fills the Beanstalk Show Club for a gig that’s sure to go down in rock’n’roll history.
