@Ziggurat I’m with you on the closeness of narrative games and OSR.
I see them both as (in part) reactions to the heavily combat focused mechanics of D&D ≥ 3.
I think the difference is that narrative games tend to include lots of mechanics that decid how good an outcome is while OSR puts the duty on the GM to weigh the factors at hand and judge the outcome (and goes back to slightly crunchier mechanics for combat).
