Glad we could rope you in with our compelling, ongoing narratives.
I have been trying really hard to curate a group of independent RPG players who spend time on Steemit. There are a lot of people into D&D, but that's never been my personal thing. I'm more into the far out indie games where things like GM-less gameplay and character nonownership live.
Out in the crazy lands.
But I hope that you will find stuff around here that speaks to you and what you find interesting about games. That is the ultimate ideal.
Welcome to the madhouse!
I've dabbled in some crazy games; Amber's diceless RPG comes to mind! It may be the nostalgia speaking, but I find myself intrigued by retro-style games like Dungeon Crawl Classics.
Are there any GM-less RPGs you could recommend?

I, er, may have written a couple of articles on the issue here or there.
This one might be a good place to start:

Wow, I think I'll have to watch some of your Microscope and Kingdom videos.
It's funny I didn't think of it until I was reading your article, but 20 years ago or so I wrote an unusual RPG that we never test played. I may still have some notes, but the game was to unfold based on the player characters' conflicting manifestations of 'reality'. The intent was for the game world to develop through the will of the characters, whose power in turn derives from their influence over their creations.
It may be trash for all I can recall, as I had some strange notions in my early twenties, but I certainly want to dig it out of the closet now :)

That really reminds me of Gregor Hutton's Solipsist RPG, which is sadly no longer promoted by a decent website.
Ironic, really, in retrospect.
