I think there are some games built around a specific scenario and characters that provide that, but they’re veeeery specific, like Love in the Time of Seith.

I find in ongoing PbtA games that I will move myself towards a dramatic role that provides tension. Everybody hates Rothschild? I’m falling in love with him. Everybody’s getting along? I start acting out. We have a PC “bad guy”? I’ll become a “good guy”.
