Snakes on a Plane One-Shot

Some movie strive to play on your heartstrings. Others try to impress you with big ideas. Some want to make you laugh or be afraid or feel alone. And some movies just want spectacle. Snakes on a Plane is this last kind of movie. The title tells you everything you need to know: there's a plane, and there are snakes on it. And while some games also vary in aim--some emotional, some intellectual, some instinctual--spectacle is not a bad thing to base a game on. In this one-shot, the players will have to survive a deadly plane ride, inspired by a movie so bad it's almost good. 

I normally aim to create one-shots that are pretty family-friendly so that anyone can play them. But for this one-shot, I allowed a bit of profanity but generally kept the rest of it clean. To play this one-shot, just follow the narration and directions below, and you can give your players the plane ride of their lives.
