@BrianBloodaxe You mean -- like #Fiasco ? Which is a dead perfect setup for sit-com shennanigans with lightweight mechanics and inevitable payoffs?
https://bullypulpitgames.com/products/fiasco-classic
Or #PrimetimeAdventures , which goes out of its way to emulate episodic, spotlight-shifting storytelling?

Or Pasion de las Pasiones, which is deliberately over the top soap opera melodrama but takes almost nothing but an attitude change to be crazy interpersonal sitcom nuttiness?

Or #ThePlaysTheThing if you want to get all Shakespearian about your sitcom, possibly in the park?

And that's just off the top of my head. What are you looking for?
@hishgraphics The full story of Moose in the City. The deep lore of the hobby is, in fact, truly deep:
@hishgraphics Have you met my friend Primetime Adventures?

That's pretty much dead in its sights as what it does.
In fact, one of the example setups in the book is the crew of a children's TV show dealing with their personal shenanigans' while ensuring the show does go on.
I've been wanting to kick off short campaigns of both In a Wicked Age and Primetimes Adventures for a while now.
You know, to introduce this kind of more co-creation way of playing to the local gaming group.
But there are a couple of kinks in the resolutions systems of both of those games I've been meaning to hack...
This morning I got the idea of using #Otherkind dice system for Primetime and #SWADE dice rolling for #IAWA - and I like both ideas!
Favorite campaign that I played in or ran?
An #UnknownArmies campaign in which players stood up against the True King of Someville by hiding his magic suitcase among crocodiles.
#simyala for #dasschwarzeauge: in the sunken elven city, two big baddies fought each other, while the players stealthily snatched the treasure, only to be killed by cats later.
#arsmagica; Imarried the nephew of Frederick II.
#primetimeadventures: teenagers playing #dasschwarzeauge in a basement. #ttrpg #pnpde
Well, that was fun; first time with a game of #PrimetimeAdventures at the @mkrpg in over 10 years I think...
The pitch is "Slow Horses" meets "Rivers of London", with deadbeat MI5 agents standing guard over a gate to the fae realm in a tunnel under a kebab shop in East London. #ttrpg
12 - Oldest game I still play
We played Primetime Adventures (2004) 1 or 2 years ago and I'm all the time thinking about playing it again, so it gets my nomination.
Honorable mention to In a Wicked Age (2007)
