SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What mechanics scream "story game" to you?

I usually start with meta currency used to add narrative content to a scene or lore up to and including major world building by the players.

For me, it's the idea that structure for game play is secondary to the improv drama experience.

Terrible idea, overwhelming majority of ttrpg players can't pass Voight-Kampff test.

For me that mentality smells more with semi-LARP school popular with World of Darkness (no game procedures or structure, strong GM role to project drama) - on the other hand RPGs that are nowadays counted as SGs often has game structures much more authoritative than old school - like whole game cycle of Blades in the Dark.
