I definitely agree with you, which is why I keep coming back to TFT
in my gaming orbits.

There always seems to be an ebb and flow, with some people adding house
rules to more closely model certain aspects, but I like the way TFT's
systems abstract situations so that they play fast without getting too
bogged down in dice rolling.

Everyone tweaks their ruleset to some degree, but I tend to add very
little to the TFT ruleset as written.  I feel it's allowed me as a GM
to focus more on the game than the mechanics.

The beauty is we all exchange ideas and use what we like and pass on
what we dont.
