Okay so I want to develop an extremely flexible, lightweight roleplaying game format that can be used to basically provide structure for joint storytelling between players and GM.

I'm thinking 4-6 stats. Something like Talking, Logic, Magic, Athletics, Combat? Every player can allocate numbers 1-5 for their relative strength in the different stats. Then to do things they draw that number of cards from a deck and choose which one to play, and they have to beat either a target draw (drawn by the GM) or an opposed draw (by another player).

@Maenad this sounds fun and I would like to play it!

I've played Lasers & Feelings (2 stats + some character roles) multiple times before and I think it's super fun, good to play at the drop of a hat, but it could use a liiiittle more stat structure (in particular, I've had to house-rule around athletics/combat stuff just to make things work), and of course has no magic.
