If more subsystems are necessary, then we should just write more subsystems. Frankly a lot of them are probably reified FKR smaller rulings that have been iterated on.This is the point that I find most frustrating. If on the fly ad hoc design is as good or better than a published product, the published product is and was always bad. We let a lot of bad design go a lot further in TTRPGs than other kinds of games and that is frustrating...but it isn't inevitable, and nothing good comes from treating it as though it is. I want a class of designers that produce a better product that better achieves a set of design goals than a GM making it up on the spot. A system that fails to do that is an indictment of a particular design (and perhaps its designer) but not of the underlying possibility of design as a whole.</blockquote>
