[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8842798, member: 86653"] Cool. I've taken basically the opposite journey. I started with recipes because I didn't know jack and as I've cooked more I've relied less on recipes because I no longer need to be walked through the process in minute detail. When trying completely new dishes or cuisines I'll still rely on recipes, but they quickly fall by the wayside. If you haven't tried homemade banh mi, you should. Fantastic stuff. That's exactly what I do. I happen to think the principles are more important the the specific expression of that principle in rule format. There's a mathematical difference between 2d6 and 1d20, of course, but as long as long as you have a resolution mechanic you're good. Precisely which and how etc don't matter. I view it as improvising or riffing. The recipe doesn't matter unless you want it to. I couldn't disagree more. You're still playing D&D if you never pick up a die or reference your character sheet or the rulebooks during a session. I don't make that distinction. It doesn't matter when it's imported. It only matters if the rule is useful in the moment. I find it odd that people feel the need to include statements like this. Yes, of course.
