The proper gamemastering style seems to me to be a balance between the game master's narrative, the player's actions, and chance.

Without all 3, you are doing something, but it isn't a role-playing game. But where the balance point between the three is really is different from game to game and from gamemaster to gamemaster and from player to player.
