An RPG game doesn't need good mechanics for a good story to work. But, good mechanics that help foster story help GMs and players who aren't necessarily the best storytellers tell better stories.

@jheath I don't necessarily disagree with this. But I do feel that mechanics play an important role beyond storytelling. Storytelling is only one aspect of #TTRPG

Good mechanics engage players and drive the game. Great mechanics can be a source of fun in and of their their own right.

@CowsRespectMe I absolutely agree with that.
