The economic I'm aiming for here is economic with respect to (a) reducing general overhead and handling time while simultaneously maintaining both (b) the focus of its play and (c) the magnitude of its decisions (both individual decisions in isolation and the throughline of a connected...

Probably. The way I would classify Moldvay Basic is extraordinarily economic, not light. That is because an orthodox Moldvay game has layers of integrated procedures and loops that all participants have to constantly execute and cognitively weigh throughout the course of a single dungeon...

Moldvay Basic, the second greatest dungeoncrawling engine in the history of TTRPGs, is not light. Torchbearer, the most engaging, most intense, and most rewarding dungeoncrawling engine in all the land (and in lands beyond) is extremely dense.

@pemerton answered your question how I would here. Briefly (in my words): * who is authoring the core questions (around ethos and relationship in particular) that give rise to the trajectory and shape of play? Is it the GM or the players? ...and... * where are those questions embedded...

Time to max out (roughly): * Given 2 hour sessions, weekly play, and End of Session procedure every 2 sessions, you're talking around 8 months. * 4 hour sessions, weekly play, and EoS every session, you're talking around 4 months. What happens after maxing out? The premise of each character...

I don't have time to post anything new on this subject and it looks like this thread has probably reached its apex of input and is winding down. But, since you've summoned me, I'll aggregate the things I've written about this subject recently if the lead poster is looking for any further input...
