Well, there's a raging debate that's going on right now on rpg-create 
that speaks to this very issue. The consensus is that a game system 
can cater to one of three types of gamers: narrativists, 
simulationists, or gamists.

"Simple" systems usually attract the narativists or gamists. Either 
they don't want the rules to intrude on the progress of creating a 
compelling story or they don't want the rules to slow down the 
excitement of game play. Simulationists, however, will tolerate more 
rules if they add to the "realism" of the setting.

Maybe you could describe the character of game play that you want 
your rules to support. That would help to begin to define the types 
of rules that should be included.
