@BrianBloodaxe Fiasco is only as one-shot focused as you are interested in not doing it again. The only key element is that at the end of the session, things are different than when you started.

If you want classic sitcom, which keeps anything from changing from episode to episode, then it's probably not your best choice, though you can certainly do it.

Primetime Adventures is very specifically about doing episodic, multi-character storytelling, and one of the sample shows within it is literally a sitcom. I don't know what else you want.

The truth is, nobody really wants to play a long-term sitcom game. They're hard enough to write when you have comedy talent.

It's a real pain in the ass to come to the table every day with the expectation that you're going to be hilarious. Dramatic is easy: that grows out of situation.

Comedy is hard: that requires you personally to be funny.

I suppose we could break out #InSpectres, which is one of my favorite long-term, episodic, often extremely funny games. It leans heavily on the tropes of reality TV and the side confessional, which often works out.
