Sorta?

I think looking at how OSR games in general describe themselves. Being role-playing games derived from DnD for most part. They are games in which you play roles, unlike story games which are games designed to tell specific stories. The kind of roles and the rules of the game do influence the kind of stories that emerge through play, and the kind of play.

right, but the problem i was having is that in story games you also very much play a role! obviously in OSR you do this too, but i'm trying to figure out what separates them, rather than what they have in common
