I love the idea. I love this game's world and its inhabitants. Linear d6 system is also cool. However, now that I'm about to lead a Grimm game, I found what I don't love. The thick maze of intertwined trait advantages and disadvantages, requiring to have read and memorized a lot of the book. Without a concise guidance for newcomers. Will have to make a lot of notes to avoid being lost in the seemingly simple rules. But I'll do it, the game is worth the effort. Damn, maybe I should write a beginner's manual for this game later on?

Great game - and a great GM / Gm-less tool! I've not yet digested the system enough to use it (just skimmed through the PDF for the first time).

And still: its' brilliance shines through clearly.

Damn, I'd never EVER imagine a tabletop RPG system where not only the world, not only characters and events can be improvised on-the-fly... but RULES??

Wow! Deciding, say, the rules of magic half-way thru adventure - isn't it incredible? And whatever else may come up during adventures?

Which automatically means - we get an ideally customized ruleset while we play. Because it's we, the particular group of players, who choose the rules. The way we like them!

I love this Mythic!

Really good tool for both GM's and game designers. There is time for shooting (intuitively) in the dark sky, and time for clear structure. I love how this book presents exact points to pay attention to - and also when and in which cases. Even more, Russel Brown analyzes how the story is built in four distinctly different rulesets: D&D, DW, Fate and Hillfolk. Great!

... damn, now I want to buy Hillfolk... :)

I've already read a bunch of books on GMing and related topics. All have been good - but this one is outstandingly best one!

A really standout game. Fabulous, I'll say - and innovating for sure.

Upon reading about it first, all I noticed was that it was GM-less. Didn't impress me... When I had read several high praises and gave it a try, Fiasco proved to give me something I didn't have in 'traditional' RPGs.

I feel Fiasco like taking the most memorable episodes of several 'traditional' tabletop sessions, and having played just these in one session. All the not-so-epic episodes just eliminated. Like in cinema, as the creators of Fiasco say: you don't watch every damn mundane thing, likewashing pots and laundry - only the adventurous moments.

The innovative side (in my humble opinion) is how Fiasco manages the creation of characters, plots and outcomes. And - for surprise to those used to roll dice for attacks, saving throws, damage, cure wounds, ad infinitum - no need for any! Outcome voted by others, and it works brilliantly. Perhaps because no one is annoyed for a failure: after all, it's a Fiasco, folks!

One thing I noticed is, that for those playing Fiasco first time it may take more than those 2.5 hours some say. For us it took more than 4 hours. But a pure pleasure nontheless! I felt like we could record the game as a ready-made movie script.

Also I believe that a session of Fiasco can be a funny way to produce possible scenarios for other game systems.

Have a nice Fiasco!

I love this book! It showed me a couple of serious mistakes I was gonna put in my present work, a DIY-TTRPG book with adventure set in 16th century Courland.

I'm a gamer with a history of couple dozens of games, half of them as a GM. And with thousands of interesting PDF's on my PC (most of them from DriveThru). I've read a lot more than played till now, but it is changing.

I've studied Jamison's Gamemastering, and Vecchione's Never Unprepared. That said, this book still gave me a new perspective.

Gamemastering gave me first insight of how to do the job. I like Never Unprepared for it's exact perspective of GMing, from project management viewpoint. But the book under review shows me a lot of why's and how's. It explained me tangibly more on player psychology (after all, the GMing is revolving around it inevitably!).

And I'm grateful for PWYW option. Next time I make a purchase, I'll certainly add a fiver to the author!

So many good - and true - praises! Really, this book turns the GM's prep work almost into exact science. It really puts things in a good perspective! The author even analyzes possible 'short-of-time' scenarios and suggests how to cope with them. Love it!

I'm not a very experienced GM (just a dozen sessions), and this book showed me many things puzzling me before.

Fabulous work. I'd say, awe-inspiring, both for content and design. Especially the amount and quality of detailed info about all possible game aspects, from worlds to tech to factions. Makes me wanting to play it right away.

This game is awe inspiring! And comics, too! As soon as I found them as PDF's on DriveThru I was squeaking with joy, and bought it at once. I love the idea, and the illustrations. The heroic mouse with a sword facing the serpent... so cute!

Words fail me to describe how wonderful it is. Unbelievably vivid and thoroughly made. Can just imagine how much work has been put in producing this absolutely amazing piece. Looking forward to find a group of interested people to play with.
