I hate "narrate" as a technical term with a hate just short of "shared imagined space." It's badly misleading.

"Narrate" is responsible for some of the poorest game design we've done, and its position as a fixture of our games needs to go the way of stakes setting.
I like your procedural / mediating / purely procedural construction a lot. That's useful.
