I have known Fern for a long time and it was about time I had them for a podcast interview.

Coffee & Chaos is a comedy tabletop roleplaying game about running a cafe, bar, restaurant or other establishment as everything goes very, very wrong around you.

It has been built on a rules-lite framework that facilitates two major things:

1. Allows the game to be played with any characters andwork especially well with pre-existing charactersfor one-off comedy sessions within longer campaigns.

2. Allows for the game to pull away from the idea of winning and instead focus on telling hilarious stories.

Characters are defined by their approaches to problems, which indicate how they would try to fix that broken keg, or negotiate with that difficult customer. These are represented by Knives, Forks and Spoons.

Knives- Direct Approaches

Forks- Creative Approaches

Spoons- Considered Approaches

This allows characters to retain all of their quirks from any other games they might be in.Your druid can still wildshape, your street samurai still has their cyber-arm. But when taken out of their element the focus is on how they use those skills and abilities to solve problems (or accidentally make things worse).

The Cafe

What would this kind of story be without some understanding of where the characters are working?

Whether it's a grotty roadside tavern, a chic cyber-cocktail bar or a chill juice bar on the seafront you can make it in Coffee & Chaos! Depending on the atmosphere of your establishment the group will get bonus cutlery to allow them to solve problems in ways that might not come naturally.
