Hand out the story's roles so as many players as possible get a wish

First come, first served can leave a player with a role they ranked last while another got theirs by luck. Here is a way to hand out the roles that looks at the whole group, how to keep it fair between players, and what to do when wishes tie.

Why this works

Handing out roles one by one lets an early choice quietly ruin a later one. Looking at the whole group at once finds the fairest overall result, and squaring the disappointment makes two small letdowns count as better than one big one.

When not to use it

Skip it for a large group, where trying every combination takes too long, and when players should simply claim a role themselves, as in a lobby where friends agree among themselves. Let them choose, or use a faster, simpler method.
