Wow! I'm an old school RPGer and this means my group has been a little uncomfortable with the last decade's wave of narrative story telling. We grew up on Rolemaster and its peers, with a 100 tables for swinging a sword and the like. I had heard about microscope from some podcasts and suggested that my group try it as a precursor to the new campaign we are starting. They were skeptical. really skeptical. But i kept at them and within about 30 minutes the skepticism was gone and before I knew it "Gnomish Superpower" had entered the palette and subsequently appeared in the timeline. We also banned "Dwarves with Scottish accents" and lifted a curse that has plagued our group for 25 years :-)
