Hey guys, I know the HJ community has a few hardcore Fiasco fans. Well, I'm looking for people to playtest a playset I just put together, Rising Run Eikaiwa (working title). Yes, it's based on my personal experience of being an English teacher in Japan. Everything in there either happened to me, to one of my friends, or to someone I worked with. Nothing's been exaggerated, I've only scrubbed off serial numbers to protect the (not so) innocent. Anyone interested? My group doesn't have time to play lately, but I'd like some actual play feedback before I submit this to Bully Pulpit Games.

I get to play it somewhat often. We usually vote on which playset to use, but I'd be happy to toss yours into the queue and see if I can get folks to play it.

I'm in pretty much the same boat as SirGuido. Send it along, please!
(Also, my group has so far shied away from playing Fiasco "hardcore," so we'd probably test it with the softer Tilt and Aftermath tables from the Fiasco Companion.)

I'd almost completely forgotten about this thing. Thanks for reminding me, kaitoujuliet. You can find the WIP Rising Sun Eikaiwa playset here: www.dropbox.com/s/zpchi3yp0ew3es7/Rising_Sun_Eikaiwa.pdfThere are still some entries that need to be filled in, and I don't have text for The Score or Movie Night sections yet. Lost in Translation is definitely going on the list, as is The Fast ant the Furious: Tokyo Drift, which conveys a surprisingly accurate feeling of first coming over to Japan. Playing with the softer Tilt and Aftermath is going to be recommended in the playset after I finish writing it all up. People don't often die as a result of working here (though there was one absolutely tragic case a few years back that lead most foreigners here to consider Japanese police absolutely useless, unless it's for giving directions or handing out bicycle parking tickets).

If I can get time to actually sit down with my gaming group, I'll give it a shot.

So I see the file's gone now; is there an updated draft?

Whoops. Actually what happened is I shared Jennifer's Body with a fellow Monsterhearts player and needed to clear some space in my DropBox. Rising Sun Eikaiwa is back in there now though.

Nabbed it (finally)--thanks! I'll bring it up as a possibility next time my group is looking to play Fiasco.
