This is it, the final piece of fiction of this writing project/solo play I did using @bullypulpithq.bsky.social Fiasco as the engine and the Writer Emergency Pack as the prompts.
Was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. Subscribe to the blog if you like to see more of my stuff.

Rat Trap: The Aftermath
After the dust settles, Bill, Ash, and Jay must deal with the consequences of their actions. What follows is a montage of their lives after the Rat Trap--a true fiasco.
Writer Emergency Fiasco: The Aftermath
At the end of Fiasco, every player gets to roll the dice they have collected over the course of the game, tally them up by color, and determine their Aftermath based on it all. Let's take a look at how it all shakes out for Bill, Ash, and Jay.
Tomorrow, I go into the Aftermath of my Writer Emergency Fiasco.
Would love some subs and follows on this project, as it was a lot of fun to write.

Spire/Heart have a great setting. The setting of Hollows as well.
Spectaculars doesn’t have “a setting” but its setting book helps you and your group to create your own, unique comic book setting.
Me and my variety gaming group will be starting The Between (@gauntletrpg.bsky.social) next week after a few weeks of playing Hollows (@rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social). Very excited to get into this system.
Deep Lake road sign
There are roughly 5000 residents of Deep Lake, NM, but only 4200 followers on the campaign so far. Give it a follow and help us get to 5000! You don't even have to move to a strange, isolated town in the desert! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...
Today wraps the main portion of my writing exercise/solo play of #FiascoRPG and the Writer Emergency Pack by @johnaugust.bsky.social
Next week, I finish the project with the Aftermath. Catch with Ash, Bill, and Jay before then!

I've been doing all my writing in Ellipsus, whether it's for my blog, game prep for my Draw Steel games, or anything else. Worth checking out if you're tired of being stuck in shitty companies' eco systems.
Close up photo of the cover of Fiasco Classic. There is a printed white paper affixed to the cover with information on the author (Jason Morningstar), description, and cost of the volume. Tucked into the book is a photo of Jason wearing a bowler hat and pulling a face.
Today is the last day of #GAMAExpo2026! We are still at Booth 376 so stop by while the Exhibit Hall is still open. @segedy.bsky.social and @nathanblack.com await you, and @jmstar.bsky.social lingers around in spirit... #TTRPGs #RPGs #games
Rat Trap 2-12: Post Script
Jay's final scene concludes the main portion of this Fiasco. One last look back at the scene and how the card "Puny Humans" brought us to were we ended this story, before we head into the Aftermath.

Public Access is a horror game about childhood trauma and the treacherous nature of memory. In an industry obsessed with cartoon gloss and chasing mass market appeal, Public Access just wants to scare you.

Do you mean like THESE photos with @nathanblack.com? Because yes, yes we do. #GAMAExpo2026 #FiascoRPG #TTRPG
The last scene of my Writer Emergency Fiasco, Rat Trap, dropped today. Combining the #FiascoRPG by @bullypulpithq.bsky.social with the writer emergency pack, the story ends with a bang … or does it?

Rat Trap 2-12: Jay Lets Go
Scene 12: This is it. Jay's at the end of the line, desperately holding on to control, and to his friendship with Bill. Can he find a way out of this, or is it time to let it all go?
Which is why we must push back harder. Write more, write fiercely. That’s how we keep our spaces alive.
For all the articles on generative AI, the media miss one simple point about generative AI: it's built to control us.
This week marks the beginning of the end. It’s the final card for the final scene of my writing exercise / solo play of #FiascoRPG

Rat Trap 2-11: Post Script
This was Ash's final scene, where her passivity and perceived weakness revealed themselves to be all part of a very chaotic, highly improvised plan, all thanks to the card "Cause and Effect."
Game Design: When Dice Tell The Story
In many games, dice determine the outcome of a challenge. Sometimes, they can take over the story completely for a brief moment.
In the penultimate scene of my Writer Emergency Fiasco project, Ash is taking her fate into her own hands.
I use @bullypulpithq.bsky.social Fiasco RPG together with the Writer Emergency Pack to procedurally create a story of very flawed people.

Can we get to 3000 followers by the end of the day? Possibly!

Rat Trap 2-11: Ash Steps Off
Scene 11: Ash is caught between a bomb and guy with a gun, trying to distract him long enough for Bill to take him out. One way or another, she will get off this train. Whatever the cost.
The card for the penultimate scene of Rat Trap reframes the whole narrative in a subtle way. “Cause and Effect” might as well be the tagline for Fiasco right next to “high ambition, poor impulse control.”
Rat Trap 2-11: The Card
For Ash's final scene, the card "Cause and Effect" might just lead to a few revelations of what exactly her place is within this Fiasco.
New video! Mostly a product announcement, but *some* interesting info in there.
