Hot Take: 5e is too bloated with unnecessary rules and should be simplified - The TTRPG network

I recommend this video to look more into OSR philosophy regarding the rules: https://www.youtube.com/live/bCxZ3TivVUM?si=aZ-y2U_AVjn9a6Ua [https://www.youtube.com/live/bCxZ3TivVUM?si=aZ-y2U_AVjn9a6Ua]

If we simplify 5e any more it’s gonna turn into Snakes & Ladders. And clearly OSR already exists, so there’s no need to change other systems.

5e is actually on the high end of medium crunch. That’s not a bad thing though. The game mostly works and it is fun, but it does have its rough spots. I agree with you about not needing to change it though
