I would recommend the podcast Film Reroll to anyone who wants to see this in action. They start from the point of the movie, then let dice rolls and in-character improv decisions reshape the story. That's how Jafar fell in love with Aladdin, Dorothy rained dragon fire upon the armies of Oz and James Bond died.
They use GURPS! Interesting.
It's the system for when you want to roleplay literally everything ever. And if they don't have a rule the story would need, they just figure one out.
@Susaga
It's ONE system that works reasonably well for human like characters. There are dozens of others that do the same.
Sounds fucking awesome and so much like dnd.
