If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

In a tabletop game, each action and component should feel valuable, useful, and sufficiently interacted-with. Reasons: 1. unused possibilities and components can frustrate players. 2. creating a use for something not normally used can create delight. Examples of each: 🎲✂️🧵(1/5)

If you'd like an alternative look I made a free icon pack. hinokodo.itch.io/human-made (a positive spin on the idea, rather than defining your work as "no ai" it's "human made". ) similar idea. And frankly there should be a ton of these things to fit a multitude of projects.

Imagine if you added features to software according to a steady flow of feature requests. You take a feature request and, to make sure you understand it, clarify and specify what constitutes acceptance of the feature in some detail. In fact, just to be sure, make the acceptance criteria executable.
