If you’re really looking for not-catch-all systems you should check out ADRPG (Amber Diceless RPG) I haven’t played it properly but I’ve read the books it’s based on and read through the rule book and it looks really cool and unique. Another unique one is Microscope. I’ve also not played it but read the rule book and it comes highly recommended. It’s a completely different kind of tabletop game, one can almost not even call it an RPG, but there are roleplaying elements. I’d recommend checking it out.

If you’re not really looking, well, there you have it anyways I guess. Feel free to ignore.

I'm not, but don't let that get in your way of reccomending good stuff that you enjoy playing. There's nothing wrong with taking a free opportunity to talk about games you like.

@SamPond

Microscope is used by a group to collaboratively create the world a game will take place in, right?

Yeah sort of. They create a timeline/history together. There are surely ways to then play games or write stories or what have you within the world that is created but mainly it’s creating a history of a place that sort of gets created as you go.
