What RPG is easiest for you to run?
Fiasco is super easy to facilitate. And to facilitate well.
Due to practice, pbta is pretty easy for me. Not sure if I do it well, but I do it.
These are very different, so lemme explain.
Fiaso is all collaboration and building off each other's answers. It's figuring out that there's a live triangle at the table, by way of romance: weird family relationship and romance: fuckbuddies. It's knowing that there's a half a million dollars in a grocery bag, or just that you need to get revenge. It's figuring these things out together, then scenes developing on each. There's equality and sameness across the players, in a meaningful sense.
pbta is different but totally the same. It's all collaboration and building off the answers. It's following them around and seeing what happens, and the MC having a really weird role. There's no such thing as balance, and every playbook (save one) is a goddamn trap designed for certain sorts of players.
And I love both.
