I want to commit the murder I was imprisoned for.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

A wizarding school only has its student's well-being and magical education at heart, right? This week we team up with Angela M Webber (of the Doubleclicks) & Richard Malena (Angela's co-host on Gosh Darn Fiasco) and their friend Kenna Conklin (co-host with Richard on Going Last). We've also got John's former New To You Show co-host, Mary Varn (of NPCcomic.com)

 

To learn more about how Fiasco is played check out our primer episode.

The characters for this game:

Parsnip McBobbleehat (Angela M Webber) - Founder of House Bobbleehat, now a ghost who inhabits the school.

Hyacynth Rosemary (Kenna Conklin) - The first year student desperate to make friends.

Nicholas Lindbergh (Richard Malena) - A student repeating a year and doing some extra-credit with Professor Beachum.

Prof. Remedy Beachum  (John Holt) - Magical Medicine Professor with a preoccupation with dark magic.

Prof. Dolores McBobbleehat (Mary Varn) - The sister of Parsnip, Professor of Magical Home Economics.

The grid for this game:

Between Angela & Kenna: Members of a Secret Organization w/in the School

Between Kenna & Richard: One of them took a Love Potion

Between Richard & John: One Teaches the other dark and unspeakable magic in private

Between John & Mary: Fellow Professors

Between Mary & Angela: Family, Sisters

There are two NEED elements:
- The Need to Get Respect from the Entire School
- The Need to the Truth about the week I have no memory of

There is a LOCATION element:
- The Groundkeeper's house

There are two OBJECT elements:
- A rumor that the school is built on a gravesite and the ghost are angry
- A magic watch that can turn back time

The TILT:

Going into Act II we've generated our two TILTS:

 

INNOCENCE: Collateral Damage

GUILT: Somebody Develops a Conscience
