I think you're all barking up the wrong tree by discussing rules. Cause we all know the rules are nothing compared to the power of the Dungeon Master. So for my plan for a complete rebuild wouldn't concern itself with rules. I would... Commission a musical about DM. Many people don't read...

So how do you have resourceless tactical/strategic gameplay???

Okay. Do you want resource management in your game?? Or tactical, or even strategic, thinking? Since figuring out when to resources can be quite tactical or strategic.

But resource management is a vital part of D&D? So characters have to have a resource that they carefully meter out throughout the day.

I think this is a topic about Procedure of Play. You want procedures that have no (or little) dice rolling and all about communication. https://www.enworld.org/threads/lets-talk-procedure-of-play.718089/

Here's an item. Knife of super back stabbing When you sneak attack with this weapon, your sneak attack dice are d12 instead of d6

Protip: when you're glazing a TTRPG product, you should share its name, and ideally, a link to where others can buy it. That'll translate into the people making the stuff you want getting more sales and will therefore be more incentivised to make more of it.

People can do it; they just don't want to buy a fifty dollar, three hundred page gadget book and spend up to three hours every session managing equipment loadouts.

Clearly the solution is that the non "traditional" gamer be cosigned to a lower status position within the D&D world and their desires be oppressed!

Hopefully Neopets will find a better TTRPG partner... like ENPublidhing! I know Morrus would do a great job and treat it the care it deserves.

But a PC with a visionary idea could change that in your campaign world!

From the rules From what the players done From your previous rulings Extrapolation from pre existing things A setting Bible Making sure NPC (factions) act in a logical matter ETC

I have vastly different TTRPG objectives from you so I'm quite surprised we share the opinion that the fiction exists outside the DM and can thereby dictates what the DM does.

Is it safe for my character to put pineapple on their pizza now???

You'd be surprised. "Faster" can meaning "stripping out important context and granularity" to some and "more thematic" can mean "impose restrictions on the DM that force the game into unwanted directions."
