Written or unwritten. Making empowered-GM a special case of principled and procedural freeform as you say. I've heard folk offer the view that what TTRPG amounts to are special cases of freeform.It is open to assert a set of principles such that all participants must follow a given procedural or mediating rule, some participants control the fiction concerning one character, another participant controls everything else. I think that nearer to what ultralight-rules FKR puts in place. I think there is a division in what folk understand to be implied by a text like the Messerspiel rules. There are multiple valid takes on the deontic effect of the rule that players can roll dice to resist outcomes described by referee.</blockquote>
