“If you have a story that seems worth telling, and you think you can tell it worthily, then the thing for you to do is to tell it, regardless of whether it has to do with sex, sailors or mounted policemen.”
― Dashiell Hammett
Ribbon Drive, by Avery Mcdaldno is a game built around mixtapes and road-trips. This story takes place over the course of two mixtapes. We all love making a mixtape, so the setup for this game was a joy. In this episode John gives a prompt at about 3 minutes 55 seconds to begin playing the mixtape in sync with the show, but it doesn't need to sync up perfectly.

This is a brief overview that lays out the basic of setting up and playing a game of Ribbon Drive.
Recommended number of players: 3-5, Play time 3-6 hours on average
Ribbon Drive is a 'GMless' game, you don't need a Dungeon Master or Game Master setting up the rules and the world.
We recommend picking up a copy of the rules from Buried without Ceremony. They have copies available as PDF and physical books. Try your friendly local games store. If they carry role playing games they probably carry Fiasco.
In addition to players Ribbon Drive only requires a handful of components:
1) Rulebook
2) Mixes (1 per player, 45-70 minutes each)
3) Index Cards/Paper
5) Writing Utensils
