Fake News

You’re journalists working for a struggling local news station, covering the events in a small, boring town, and unsurprisingly your ratings are dismal. Your parent company has recently merged with a multinational media conglomerate, and they’re itching to take you off the air and fill your slot with something that actually draws in viewers. You have one last broadcast to save your program, and your careers, and absolutely nothing newsworthy is happening. Time to improvise.

This is a short comedic game for 3-6 players, with no GM. All of you will be portraying journalists - sometimes hosting the news, sometimes reporting from the street. You'll have have to keep outdoing yourself, reporting on bigger and bigger stories, and if nothing interesting is happening, you'll have to rely on your colleagues to create a bit of a mess for you. After all, who cares about things like 'ethics' and 'objectivity' when your job is on the line?

The rules are pretty simple, and you can probably knock out a game in 30-60 minutes. Give it a shot!
