My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

Blades in the Dark, Coriolis and Vampire: The Masquerade 5E 

Writing up the topline narrative hooks for a session, then filling the world with cool little folks who inspire, enrage, and engage player characters.

I learn the language of the dialect I'm trying to emulate. Maximum effort ftw. 

I'll hear out rule challenges logically, but I'm not about to dive into rules lawyering or hold up a session for it. If that's a problem, I encourage folks to find that fighter. It ain't me. 

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

engaging worlds, mysteries, and committed roleplaying

Rules lawyering or min-maxing. I run narratively driven games, so if you want more crunch, go find the crunch fans. 

engages with the world and scenario I put in front of them. If they, as a player, care about the world state and NPCs, I've done my job.

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

In "Sandbox" or "Open World" games, players are given a tremendous amount of freedom to pursue their stories without the restrictions of a more linear game style. Players are encouraged to explore and engage with the world, and find their own story as they do so. These games offer the players the opportunity to help drive the narrative, and allow for the story to evolve organically through the choices they make.
