They should make a Fiasco set for if you want to play a game about a witch in the Alps looking for her lost cat

The Little Mermaid - Part Two - Pen and Paper and Popcorn

Possibly our most chaotic episode yet!We've got accidental magic! We have bad parenting! We have a petulant teenager! Most of all, we've got

It's our last episode before we take an end-of-year break, and accordingly, we're leaving you with a messy one!

We've got misfired magic, horny eels, some rather flirty peasants and their sleazy prince, and an exceptionally petulant teenage mermaid - it's The Little Mermaid, Part Two!

The thing about what makes Fiasco such a fun rules lite system is that in order for a character to get the "best" ending you need to accumulate either mostly dice associated with positive endings for scenes or mostly dice associated with negative endings for scenes. Having a close split is actively bad at the end of the game. Since in act two you get side associated with the endings of your own scenes (whereas in act one you give dice from your own scenes to other players for their endings), you are encouraged to forgo establishing scenes that are centering you to instead choose if your ending is positive or negative.

So a part of why things go horribly off the rails (aside from the twist) is that if you mostly have negative dice you want to actively have stuff end badly for you in act two while also letting other members of the group decide the setting for each of the scenes where you are the focus.

Fiasco is much easier to play though than something like DND because outside of the setup and the mechanic where there are distinct scenes and when a die is chosen for a scene you need to steer toward a good or bad ending, it's largely freeform rp.

Bullet Train is like a really dark run-through of Fiasco

Fiasco is even more fun if whenever you would use drugs as a plot element, you instead use something completely mundane. In one game we had a crime boss go to great and murderous lengths to corner the bootleg DVD market.
