Aplogies for (re)stating the bleeding obvious but:
A 'good' GM and 'good' players can have a fun, roleplaying experience with any rulest or none.
However mechanics CAN (not Do but Can) shape the game.
Example
In my Pendragon games PCs get double Glory for defeating their foes
a) if unarmoured
b) without fighting
(unarmoured and without fighting you get triple not quad)
coz Blodwyn the Druidess repeatedly hitting a Goblin fae with a stick until it stops moving is not glorious or saga worthy. But Blodwyn the Druidess fooling said Goblin into thinking that the autumnal leaves are gold and sending him off cackling to collect them as a solve is saga worthy. AND MORE FUN.
