But, like, there's a certain degree to which the technical agenda frames what game this is, right?
Like, I can write a super-short version of every GMed game with four words*. That doesn't mean it's really the same game in any practical sense.
What I find really interesting is my experience of writing 350 word D&D (a challenge I'd recommend to any game designer, btw) was that I needed to make the genre and tone considerably more specific that D&D, rather than less. It's not just less text -> less specified. It's considerably more complex than that, I think.
