Pitfalls and Penguins (http://teamsnowday.com/pnp/) is a pen-and-paper game created by a Youtuber I'm a big fan of (Joe Hills (http://www.youtube.com/user/joehillstsd)) along with a few of his buddies, which they recently got published thanks to a successful Kickstarter.
It's supposed to be a bit like a cross between D&D and Fiasco: lots of silliness, improv, and screwing around, but with dice rolls for skills and stuff like that. There are some cool rules too. If you "Epic Fail" a skill roll for example, you'll succeed but it will all go horribly wrong: maybe you manage to hotwire a car, only to later find out that the brakes have been cut. There's a special bonus that represents your character thinking they're better than they are at particular skills. Stuff like that. You can be everything from medieval paladins and expert swordsmen to Indiana Jones style adventurers and rednecks; you can be elves, orcs, robots, rabbits, penguins... it's pretty dang silly.
Being a big fan of this guy, I definitely want to give this a go... but I'd need <s>victims</s> players to do that. Would any of y'all be up for getting together on a hangout at some point, to give this a go?
