Behind The Scenes (Before) Act 1 Scene 4 (The Honeymoon)

Every character had their intro scene now, which brings us to the half-way point of the first act. (In case you don’t know: in a normal Fiasco game, you play out two scenes for each character, which will then finish up the first act, at which point you introduce random, terrible, elements from the tilt table to make act 2 even worse.)

Using the Writer Emergency Deck has, so far, brought in some really nice elements, I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. While the first one was relatively straight forward, causing the character to go after the wrong enemy, the second and third card were a little bit more complicated, thus changing the story quite a bit since the I first thought of the outline for it.

Scene 4 will play out about an hour before the wedding at noon, and Sarah will be once again in the centre of the narrative.
