That's perfectly fine. But that doesn't mean that I can't play a big battle with just my basic resolution mechanism and theatre of the mind. It will be a different experience, but not a less valid one. If there's a big siege in my Dragonbane campaign coming up, I sure as hell won't say, "Oh no, there's siege rules, so we have to ditch that story element, I'm sorry!"I just don't see how you arrive at the idea that using 100 pages of core rules and coming up with rulings based on the core resolution mechanism means a bigger mental load than using 1000 pages of core rules and knowing all the relevant procedures or looking them up. It's as if you're telling me that what I'm doing is actually impossible. And I'm pretty sure I'm not capable of doing the impossible, as much as I would like.</blockquote>
