Draft 1.0 – April 29, 2013 – Blue Tyson<\/p>\n
A comedy improv scenario. One person plays Kermit and tries to wrangle the other players pseudo-GM style into putting together a show for the night, including thinking up a guest star for this new season of the show.<\/p>\n
To make it snappy, rotate roles and enforce an actual showtime of around 20 actual minutes on each episode. With half a dozen players, a 2-3 hour game session with breaks of as many episodes as there are players, if a longer game is desired.<\/p>\n
Much opportunity for social conflict, with the odd shooting out of a cannon or kung fu chop to be had. Or literal dropping of the curtain on someone with the addition of an occasional monster stomping.<\/p>\n
Who can inflict Wayne and Wanda, dancing haggis or Russell Crowe singing on people the longest? Have a terrible opening number, a star vehicle, a couple of others and a star finale if you want a possible structure. With between number craziness backstage in between.<\/p>\n
Fate points should be gained for making people laugh, limelight hogging, terrible puns and outlandish acts. And perhaps incredibly flamboyant failure. Twenty minutes of cross-table invoke and compel chaos. Bonus for survived pig jokes.<\/p>\n
Another fun wrinkle might be to put the characters into a hat and pick at random, with more in the hat than there are people to play them, to get a rotating cast. Or guest MC even, if no-one picks Kermit.<\/p>\n
Feel free to add more muppets into the hat, as you think of them, but these are the major talking players.<\/p>\n
A suggested added problem. If ANYONE rolls – – – – on 4dF, Crazy Eddie shows up and starts blowing things up at random.<\/p>\n
