This is a total banger Matt. You distilled it down so well for me what we've been quibbling on very for a long time.

TL;DR You can define a game by what direction narrative & mechanics flow.

Story = General Narrative into Specific Mechanics
OSR = Specific Mechanics into General Narrative
Trad = Low Flow; Narrative & Mechanics are simultaneous

Fuck yeah. And then we freeze frame high five in the air like an 80s movie

I'm proud of you but I have no idea what you just said.

I'm jump in here cause these are more of my friends. These games are incredible. Read them, play them.

Also here's a small one I'm proud as hell of that's my first game:
andrewbeauman.itch.io/battle-school

@jellyfishlines.itch.io is incredible. Im gonna be a small bit assumptive and say you're gonna absolutely fucking love his work.

IT STAYED!

Omg I need it
