I feel like it is pretty common for folks to come up with solutions to known problem in TTRPGs that have already been not just thought of but implemented, sometimes for years or decades. it seems more common in the years following a spike in D&D's popularity in particular, and these days the very online nature of D&D fans and "influencers" makes this reinventing of the wheel all the more visible.
Why do you think this happens? Why do people end up solving already solved problem in TTRPGs so much, as opposed to seeking out existing solutions? Is it simply the DIY nature of TTRPGs, or is there something more driving it? Is it happening more today, or is it more visible?
