If it's mostly JUST the core math and the barest setting/customization, that's an ultralight game (24XX). If it's got an actual list of skills and gear, it's a light game (Mothership, Fate). If it's got a long list of skills/gear and/or actual classes, you've got a medium game (Fifth Edition, Call of Cthulhu, Pathfinder 2E, StoryPath).Dozens of skills/gear/spells/feats/subsystems: you've got a heavy game (Third Edition/Pathfinder 1E, Traveller, Cyberpunk 2020).If it has a write-up on pretty much every possible action you could take, it's an ultraheavy game (Rolemaster, GURPS).I prefer medium or lower, myself.</blockquote>
