The term "storyteller system" refers to a way of structuring narratives or games in which a central figure, usually called a storyteller or game master, creates and guides a story for other participants to experience and interact with through their own characters. Some synonyms for this kind of system might include "game master system," "narrative framework," "roleplaying game system," or simply "storytelling game." These terms all capture the essential feature of a structured, interactive narrative, in which the storyteller or game master plays a crucial role in shaping the story and helping others to engage with it.
