User:Neonchameleon/Wikimania Fiasco

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wikimania Fiasco is a Fiasco playset about Wikimania 2014 developed by Neonchameleon. It's designed in fun - and to create something I know I can use to illustrate the Fiasco (role-playing game) without needing to worry about which license a given playset is under. As players your characters have a great chance of getting through and their plans will go perfectly.

Note: If anyone wants to add items they think would be fun to this list, feel free! There are intended to be four sections (relationships, needs, locations), six categories per section, and six items per category. The goal is to have elements that will lead to the biggest entertaining disaster if they are used together in a story (see Fiasco (role-playing game) for more).
