Something that's been pinging off my radar for a little bit now is GM's cherrypicking games for ideas they like and just applying them to the game they're in. It makes it easier for them to do something new with a system they already like.
Philosophically I'm fine with that concept. Practically though, I find it a bit frustrating. I like that someone would pick up an idea and run with it. I dislike that most game creators (+me) want to make their own system. If we all just settled down and wrote for an established universal system (not make a new one) then it would make adoption of our stories easier since this is what a good number of GMs out there are going to do anyway.
Now I'm not saying "okay everyone who's with me". Because I'm not sure I'm even with myself on this. It's more just the thought that pops into my head when I hear a GM say "oh I like that, I'm gonna put that in my campaign". When I'm talking Sci-fi and he's running Pathfinder.
Is there another solution? Is there another way to take this? I'm sure the monkeys will set me straight.
