I have long been a customer of Postmortem / Grim and his work. I am really liking this PANZA idea:

Here's the link ( https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Vcc_KDy-0KZt1gPwFk7NDUAGrQSJYrvB?usp=sharing ) .
UPDATE: Version 2.0 is now in the folder.
Rules systems cannot be copyrighted, only their arrangement, order or phrasing. As such, to preserve the future of a ‘common tongue’ of roleplaying games, I have spent the time since the OGL announcement modifying and producing (with help) a genericised version of the ‘Rosetta Stone’ of roleplaying games. It is not complete by any means and is not meant to be a playable game in and of itself, but it lays out concepts and common gaming heritage so as to allow people to continue to write and create without hindrance – hopefully.

Note - I replaced a word with BEEP for G-rated / humorous purpose.
Grim has been, is, and probably always be a controversial figure in RPG publishing circles due to his *cough* outspoken approach *cough* to handling direct attacks against him or his work.
If you choose not to look in on PANZA because of the past, that reputation, or his positions on things of importance to you - that's fair.
Offering this here (with the above caveats) because I find it a fascinating approach, a work with merit of its own, and intriguing possibilities and think it deserves to be shared for those reasons.
