Maybe it'll be a 'collectible rules games' where the rules are sold
separately in miscellaneous bundles of random pages. You may have to
buy two or three hundred pages in order to compile a complete set,
because some of the pages will be 'uncommon' and some will be 'rare'.

Not to worry though, most new RPGs only have about two pages of
actual game rules anyway, one paragraph advising the Game Master to
'wing it' (as if there were any other choice), and ninety-three pages
of 'background'. If this trend continues, future RPGs will be
all-background, no rules, except maybe for the 'wing-it' part. Maybe
we'll even call them 'novels' instead of 'rules'.
