First-time DM and newbie players.
Is it a good idea to pick alternate-history based on Earth setting, for the ease of familiarity?

System: Fiasco is an amazing system for new players. It's a GM-less system to get roleplaying with the training wheels on. Once people are comfortable RPing, then move on to any system you know the rules for. It can be played in basically any setting.
Setting: Whatever your players are into and you want to run. Whether it's sci-fi, fantasy, alternate history or anything else, ask and get a feel for the genres your players like. Stuff like favourite TV shows & movies is great to get an idea.
Thank you! This looks really interesting, I like the training wheel idea to kickstart everyone's roleplaying skills.
