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 think Cairn (https://cairnrpg.com/) or Knave (https://questingbeast.itch.io/knave) are what you are looking for. But honestly, there are a myriad OSR games in itch just as good.
