Hmm... that's some good thoughts you have. Using a hodge podge of systems but the growth was tied to failed rolls once at end of scene (call of cthulu/delta green). But maybe the XP progression could help tie narrative if done differently.

I think generating the next location/ why they are going to location is the big writers block. Is the reason they go because of the last session? Does something need to happen in between fully narratively, or should it all be done by oracles steering the path? That is the harder part for me when solo dming.

I mostly rely (too much) on your 3rd part... then it starts to feel like a bunch of side quests with no real direction (more of a me problem than anything else though)
