Vegas, Baby! is
a playset for the Fiasco
roleplaying game that tries to emulate “Vegas trips gone horribly
wrong”, such as in films like Very Bad Things or The
Hangover. This is not the Vegas-based playset that was
evidently sold only with the game at Gencon 2010. As I was not in
attendance at that convention, and that playset has not yet been
released publicly, I’ve never seen it. (From a playtest
report of it, it looks to have a different focus than this one.)
(Update: The Gencon version is now available as part of
the Fiasco Companion. It is eerily similar in some ways,
totally different in others. It leans a bit more toward Rat Pack and
Ocean’s Eleven style Vegas, which I intentionally leaned
away from.)
This playset has not had much testing, so if you play it, let me know how it goes and how you actually used it. Chances are I will revise it at some point, based on feedback.
Thanks to Jason Morningstar for sending me his standard playset InDesign template. Normally, I would share the source documents for something like this, but the template and the fonts are not mine to share, so I can’t. You can, however, consider the contents of this playset to be free to hack, mutilate, mangle and destroy.
