This system works well for you, but it is implicitly drawing on your extensive knowledge of 5e to introduce new concepts or making reasonable rulings. The rulings are obvious, perhaps to you, but that means a lot of work for a DM who comes along and has to make all those rulings.That's not to say this style is bad--it is often less intimidating for the players--but it does require a good GM. And a good GM can make about any system good.As an observer to your system, I'm sure it works for you, but given the balance issues, the incomplete nature, and the reliance on GM expertise, I don't see it displacing professional designers.</blockquote>
