Title: Bushido (game)
Passage: Bushido: Der Weg des Kriegers, translated to Bushido: Way Of The Warrior is a game based in feudal Japan where competing Daimyos aim to gain enough honor to become the next Emperor of Japan.  Played between three and five people, these competing Daimyos attempt to gain 50 Daimyo honor through territorial conquest, samurai honor, or a surplus of combat katanas.  During play, the current Daimyo assigns role cards to the other players which last until the end of the current Daimyo's turn.  These role cards are: Samurai who will lead the Daimyo's forces into combat, Bushi who will be defending their territory, Sensei who will be providing council and utilizing effects, and (only in 5 player games) Hatamoto who has the option to lead a revolt against the Daimyo.  The players have 12 months to reach 50 Daimyo honor, although this time may be extended by effects.
Title: Jason Morningstar
Passage: Jason Morningstar is an award-winning indie role-playing game designer, publishing mostly through Bully Pulpit Games.  Morningstar's games are often GM-less and about things going badly.  Grey Ranks (2007), for example, is about doomed child soldiers in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, and "Fiasco" (2009) is about impulsive crooks pulling heists that are sure to go terribly wrong.  With these two games, Morningstar became the only named person to have won the Diana Jones award twice as of 2013.  Morningstar also works with academia and industry, consulting on using games for teaching and learning in education, with a focus on health sciences.
Title: Fiasco (role-playing game)
Passage: Fiasco is a role-playing game by Jason Morningstar, independently published by Bully Pulpit Games.  It is a GM-less game for 3–5 players, designed to be played in a few hours with six-sided dice and no preparation.  It is billed as "A game of powerful ambition and poor impulse control" and "inspired by cinematic tales of small time capers gone disastrously wrong—films like "Blood Simple", "Fargo", "The Way of the Gun", "Burn After Reading", and "A Simple Plan"."
