    @LeviKornelsen maybe mechanics that incentivize story creating action.
    I'm thinking of stuff like a Cortex game that uses values as a die set. If you do stuff that narratively is based on a particular value you get an extra die so players are encouraged to drive their actions based on beliefs which, over time, creates a story about their beliefs and it's evolutions.

    @LeviKornelsen I think the heavily constrained mechanical arc of My Life With Master doesn't quite sit in category 3.

    Games like Montsigeur, Rosenstrasse are also, I think, a bit outside your categories: the "plot" is defined but the "story" comes from choices within it.

    @LeviKornelsen Cool, as long as they're in there somewhere!

    @LeviKornelsen I’m sure you’ve explained this before (given your prolific output), but I’m not finding it with a search:

    What are “ritual conversion structures” in this context?

    Also, where are you counting something like the beat structure from Hamlet’s Hit Points or the gamification of narrative currency like DramaSystem?

    • Flashbacks (as in Blades in the Dark).

    @LeviKornelsen I suppose so, but then a few things could cross boundaries.

    I've got Story Points (5 XP for a backstory element, which does a current thing), which counts for 8, 5, 3, and possibly 6 (since the 'current thing' brings in a henchman, who can become a PC later).

    @LeviKornelsen
    If you need examples for 3, the (objectively) greatest system-for-story device comes from a Dr Who Initiative system.

    • Anyone speaking goes first.
    • Anyone using items goes second.
    • Third comes fleeing.
    • Fourth is combat.

    This would be really stupid in any other game. But if you think through any scenario, you can see it spilling out a perfect Dr Who scene.
