I know a guy who does this at a collegiate level. It's about narrative writing for games or something like that.
He does a ton of different small groups doing different game systems, but I'm fairly sure he assigns Hamlet's Hit Points.
Disclaimer I know the publisher of the above book, as well as Mr. Laws. That doesn't mean anything, but full disclosure.

So, I started down this path with Hamlet's Hit Points by Robin Laws, and I'd highly recommend it as a guide for fitting a functional narrative into an RPG.
Having not re-read the book in some time, it's something that I do almost intuitively at this point with the concept of story beats. I just kind of feel when the time is right for things to take a turn - whether dark, triumphant, unexpected, etc. It's just about feeding off the fiction in progress, the room, and the dice to keep both story and tone interesting and engaging. That often means surprising myself as much as anyone because I have the flexibility to grab at any thought that pops up in the moment and fits the continuity.
