I enjoy reading OSR books and adventures, but I find it's not the style of gameplay that interests me; I tend to think of puzzles, combat, etc., as prone to becoming distractions from the narrative. I tend to skim through action scenes in fiction that drag on too long.

I see less advice on how to approach narrative and storytelling games, however, and what there is seems to focus on how to bring in more "crunch", which isn't what I want to do.

@foolishowl I feel similarly and found Engine Publishing's Unframed to be helpful for this. It's a collection of essays on the topic. I particularly liked Vincent Baker's piece. https://enginepublishing.com/unframed-the-art-of-improvisation-for-game-masters

@pernick Yes, I've read a few books in that series and could do with rereading them. Also, I've got a book by Robin Laws near the top of the queue that I believe is on the topic.
