Oh, it's certainly a well-worn interwebs mantra, right enough. But that is all. Hm, well, that and one of several classic rallying cries to the OSR, some time back.Modular systems, generally speaking, aren't. Just as unified systems rarely are that.And, just because the knock-on effects are not as blindingly obvious, at first blush, does not mean they don't exist, and won't impact on actual play.
