Waiting for Fiasco
A downloadable playset
"Waiting for Fiasco" is an unofficial playset for the Classic edition of the roleplaying game Fiasco, letting you play out disastrous existentialist dramas.
Nothing to Be Done
There's no meaning in the world except for what we give it, and that's ridiculous. We are thrown into the world and can't do anything about it, and in the face of that, what are we to do? How are we to continue if the appropriate state of existence is dread and angst?
You are your life and nothing else. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

Played this the other day with friends, very very fun playset that allows for a unique spin on Fiasco. Definitely have to be aware of the genre differences between this and the usual farcical stories Fiasco usually generates. Even reading the playset is funny. 10/10!
