In the final scenes, the heroes are inspired to come together by the most unlikely of characters. And then in the aftermath, most characters surprisingly get a good outcome. But in Fiasco, a good outcome often means just going back to the devil you know.

A legitimate super villain threat emerges and captures one of our heroes, so this group better start getting their act together. Family bonds and jobs are restored, but cooperation, that may be asking a little too much.

This episode is all about advancing our superpowers. A character seeks to learn to control their ability rather that be controlled by it, and others seek to add to their powers for their own benefits. But not everyone is successful, and there are some hilarious consequences.

The action in this episode is “out of this world”! No, really, we’re talking meteors and alternate dimensions here. And when secrets are revealed, it is a living hell for 3 of the characters. Yes, literally, they ARE in Hell.

Our “heroes” attempt to thwart a bank robbery and right some other wrongs that have gone on so far. But I guess they can’t all be heroes. Here are the tilt results Sex: True Love Is Not Nice, and Deception: A Secret Goes Public.

Dark Star turns superhero detective and figures out a couple other secret identities. But his senses aren’t too keen as he forges the alliance that is beneficial to him, but not his “partner”. And then there are the frat boys… Let’s just say, what happens at the frat house, never stays at the frat house, which is quite unfortunate for one of our esteeming characters.

Some characters desperately try to hide their secrets in this episode; but to no avail. Science has caught up with Kennedy and has pinned her as The Blue Scorpion. And Phase’s identity as Franklin is used against him by another one of our heroes. But certainly this will not come back to haunt him later!

Things get a little crazy in this episode of Fiasco. Characters display their powers for the first time with some fatal repercussions… or at least with some over the top stereotypical fraternity hijinks. This story is taking on the flavor of a college movie where no jokes are off limits.

We introduce our character names, alter egos, and superpowers. In our first few scenes we get a couple origin stories and some player versus player conflicts already… in true fiasco fashion. Jeff chooses a black die and the table frames a ridiculous scene. Johnny gets a black die for his scene involving multiple dimensions, and Jeremy gets a white die and an early lead in Dillon’s feud with Kennedy.

We’re polishing off the character creation phase in this episode, to include some interesting (or disturbing) origin stories, and taking all the loose ends and weaving them together to create a complicated conundrum of how all our characters are more closely connected than anyone realized. Ok, maybe we’re just pulling on a thread that will totally unravel the world as we know it. It’s a matter of perspective, and only time will tell.

In this episode, we continue the hilarious hijinks of assigning Needs, Objects, and Locations to our characters. We also start to postulate how the combinations of these assignments and relationships could create some quite interesting scenes. Our characters start to take shape, but there is still more details to come in the next episode.

Here’s another Throwback to one of our favorite games to play, Fiasco. We chose a superheroes play-set, and with our eccentric imaginations, and dark sense of humor, it’s sure to be a series of mishaps and blunders. In this episode, we set up our character relationships, and already we can tell that these characters may be super, but will fall short of being actual heroes.
