[QUOTE="Retros_x, post: 9355324, member: 7033171"] The idea that 100 page rules would be more cumbersome than 1000 page rules is bizarre to me. No matter the searching algorithm, 100 will always be less than 1000 - but the idea to suggest a search algorithm at all to handle tabletop rules is so freaking hilarious to me, I had to comment about it. Its quite the simple concept: many DM don't like to flip through long lists or tables during play or want to have complicated procedures to resolve a situation. You definitely don't NEED those. You could theoretically simulate combat in a hyperrealistic matter OR you can resolve combat with a single role. None of these is objectively better, what you truly need depends completely on your and your groups requirements. That is the objective truth - now we can talk about opinions if we prefer simple, abstract systems or complex systems full of specific rules and subsystems for every situation.
