thinking disparate ideas of ttrpg crunch and trying to nail down the ideas and my terms for: - breadth (how many moving parts and variations) - depth (how deep the rules, how fine-grained) - load (complexity and cognitive load, average across rules, biased by peak) Something like that. Thoughts?

This is a really great breakdown of part of why I as a mechanics gremlin love more mechanically inclined systems. The drive of mastery as a player as well as the narrative implications of the character represented by that mastery hits at such a deep level that I can't get with a rules lite game.

In times like these, quotes like this are important to hold close to the heart. “The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater.” J.R.R. Tolkien

Never shy away from experimenting. You will most likely never get it from the first go. But that's OK. Pivot. Persevere. Try again. Try something new. Eventually, you get to a place where you feel like you've got it 🔥
