A good while back The RPGPundit compiled a comprehensive list of ttrpg mechanics - categorized, defined, citing sytem/game, etc...
Im trying to find it but i cannot remember the title and thus far my searches have been unsuccessful.
Other THERPGSITE members contributed to it and RPGPundit may have formalized it as a document at some point.
I believe was originally started on the Design, Development, and Gameplay forum, but i am not certain.
Its an excellent resource.
I would truly appreciate help tracking it down.
Thanks to RPGPUNDIT and his fellows for putting that together, and thanks for any help finding it y'all!
Found it!
It was Bloody Stupid Johnson's thread... 'Design Alternatives Analysis Archives'. To be found REFORMATTED on darkshire.net.
