[QUOTE="GMMichael, post: 8478326, member: 6685730"] How about: when a game has from 100 to 200 rules? For reference,[URL='https://modos-rpg.obsidianportal.com/wiki_pages/rules-catalog'] this one has 81[/URL]. Or when a game's quickstart rules exceed one page of reasonably-sized type? I will agree with [USER=1]@Morrus[/USER] that D&D5 is rules-medium, given that rules-light and rules-heavy are effectively comparisons to the current edition of D&D. Let's stop you right there. That works, so let's choose from a mixture of: Light [LIST] [*]Can be played with 6 or fewer standard dice. [*]The rule book is needed to learn, but not play, the game. [*]Rules arguments are unlikely to erupt. [*]The quickstart rules (or full rules) take up one page or less. [*]The GM-shield features a full art spread. On both sides. [*]The game's rules number less than 100. [/LIST] Heavy [LIST] [*]Requires multiple sets of dice and/or special dice. [*]Missing a rule book means you are unable to play the game. [*]Everyone is willing and able to consult the rules, even after the GM has made her adjudication. [*]There are no quickstart rules. [*]The game makes regular use of "statistics." And "mechanics," because you know, things tend to break. [*]The game's rules number greater than 200 🤓 [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
