In the videogames industry it's very common to pitch a game with a slide like:

"My game is X+Y with this twist".

I saw the drama about this only in the ttrpg space and only in player communities (e.g., Reddit).

I ignore them.

I very much enjoyed what you wrote. I sometimes tend to be a very visual thinker. I can see what you were writing about very clearly. This speaks to me on so many levels. Primarily as a lab technician who streamlines an SOP to save on materials and time. Also, as a DM when I literally cut and paste D&D information of different editions to 'produce' a "new" system. One word I didn't see you use was the word "home brew". Every table that uses a variation on the rules are already doing this. Usually with a positive reaction. Thank you for writing this. It clarified things for me very much.
