I’ve seen way more “oh holy crap why did I never think of that” creativity in OSR-esque stuff then anything written in long form prose...

You seem to be making the case that information can only be presented one way, which is obviously false. If a module (for example) has...

Ha. Good one. You're a smart enough guy to know both that I can't prove you wrong (as it were...) and that my failure to do so would...

I think you're maybe not familiar with the newer (by like a general "length of TTRPGs existing" newer) modules that I think many of us...
