A game of Hoax: The GMless Roleplaying Game Fabricated Evidence, Fast Talking, and Fallacies in Logic, led by Nathan Cavaliere.

You were tasked with making a great scientific discovery by building a self-sustaining underwater settlement so humanity may spread to the seas. You dubbed what you created the Modern Atlantis. This is an especially apt title because, like Atlantis, it was horribly built and run by bumbling dimwits; also, it's probably going to fall apart on itself so entirely that people in the future will question if it even ever existed. That can't be the story you tell your advisors, though: think of what it would due to your academic reputation! Instead, you will con your advisors into believing that the cursed underwater city you made is totally sustainable and safe to live in for the long term. Creatively "re-interpret" those oxygen level readings, prepare your best empty inspirational rhetoric, and hide that gaping hole in the protective wall, because you are going to need to use everything you have to get someone to think that your disaster of a city is a good idea to continue building.

This game will be great if you like Don Quixote, Documentary Now, Not for Broadcast, Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, Saturday Night Live skits, and other stories of absurdity and satire.

We will build characters in session. There are no character levels in Hoax, only air pressure levels which are much higher than they should be.

This game will be great for new players.
