Game of the Week Blog Reflection Week 9: D&D Week 1
Today in Tabletop Leadership, we played Dungeons & Dragons. I have never played this before but I enjoyed our first session. It is a roll playing game that requires a game master and a lot of creative players. The hardest part about the game is managing all of the character stats and being a good…

Game of the Week Blog Reflection 8: Ladies & Gentlemen
This week in Tabletop Leadership we played Ladies & Gentlemen. We had 8 players in the session, 4 ladies and 4 gentlemen. We only got through one phase because it was difficult to get set up. I would say that the most difficult part of the game is knowing what all of the cards and…

Game of the Week Blog Reflection 5: Fiasco Week 3
“Fiasco” is not so much a running game, as it is an impromptu drama between friends. It has a very high degree of openness, and the rules are so simple that there are almost no rules. The set scenes are like a dog-blood movie, playing ( In other words, there must be a plot reversal…

Fiasco: A Review
Over the past three weeks, we played a roleplaying game called Fiasco. Overall, I really enjoyed Fiasco because of the openness of the game proper. Everyone gets their time in the spotlight because of how the game is structured. This can be an issue in some TTRPGs that rely heavily on roleplaying. Session one consisted…

This week in Tabletop Leadership we continued playing Fiasco. We were able to complete Act 1 and part of the Tilt in this week’s session. This session did not come without challenges.

Game of the Week Blog Reflection: Fiasco Week 2
The story we created together is a bit exaggerated and outrageous. There are many details that I can’t remember now. Some of the turbulent plots are provided by game mechanics, which are rationalized by us and unified with other plots. There are also many of our own ideas. The board games that Fiasco and I…
