I like narrative stuff, but that does not mean I have to deal with vague rules. I actually try avoiding it because I really dislike discussions on the table which arise from "light" rules. Sure, having to check at ten different pages for modifiers is in no way better, but there IS something inbetween.What's also important to consider about the "weight" of rules is how familiar everyone is with them. If your players spend time with a system, they get faster. They even might specialize so you can put away the books and just ask around. This. Though I have to say, being GM in many systems over the last years taught me many existing systems can be bent and changed to achieve the op's "Rules-Satisfying" feeling. Just tell your players to ignore certain things and most importantly: get them to roll BEFORE they check absolutely everything. If there's a combat situation and your character is not sure if he can hit the target because of 13 modifiers but has a good feeling that he will, just let him roll. If it's a terrible roll, it's most likely a miss, so no need to go over all the rules. If it's a great roll, the opposite applies.</blockquote>
