My regular #DND group hasn't met in a few months, and it's unclear if/when we will in the future. Given the direction WotC is taking 5e, I've been inspired to look into #OSR systems as a possible alternative.

Old-School Essentials is very appealing, but it doesn't look like I can buy the books until after Q1 2023. I'm looking for something that I can play with my kids, so it should be fast paced and without a mountain of rules to wade through, but with interesting character creation options.

@charlie_epsilon I also dislike what one DnD is doing. But I played in 1980. There is a lot of stuff I don't like about D&D then.

I have been going on the path of changing 5e to suite my needs. Plus it allows me to avoid certain gygaxisms
