I guess my aim in trying to (loosely) categorise game systems is that I would like to try a bunch of diverse systems, so that I can figure out which types I like. These categories help me map out the space of all existing games, which helps me find example games that also match themes I like.
I know I CBF with anything much crunchier than D&D, except maybe reading about it out of morbid curiosity. Fatal sounds horrendous 😂
Good points (and good writing).
