The longer I DM, the more I realize that I am happier with fewer rules mechanics and less die rolling and more storytelling. Admittedly, it's not a style everyone prefers. I'm DMing and playing a lot of 5e right now and enjoying the opportunity it affords me to wing it. There are days, however, when even the 5e rules set feels too constricting. The more I think about it, the more I think what I most want is an RPG that uses collaborative storytelling between players and DM, with almost no die rolling. I've gamed using 2e, 3e, 3.5, Eberron, Pathfinder, 5e, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Shadowrun, d20 Modern, and Castles and Crusades. Of these, I am probably most familiar with the 3.x rules. The set of rules I like best, however, is 5e.
Is there a collaborative storytelling type of RPG that uses almost no die rolling? If so, have you played it and what's your take on its viability?
