It is story curation because that is always present. It doesn't need to interfere with skilled play. When you manage to kill the vampire lord the GM may describe him exploding like a cartoony blood balloon, making everything sound as silly and non-serious as they can, or they can describe the vampire lord slowly crumbling to dust whilst cursing the characters with his last breath,* his voice echoing in the air. And that will be a differnt story depending which way the GM goes, but no skilled play is interfered with. And this description probably also affect what the characters will do next. (*not literally, as vampires do not breathe.)</blockquote>
