Hot Take: 5e is too bloated with unnecessary rules and should be simplified (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

they merely want to play pf2e without admitting it

In my case, I wanted to play pf2e without knowing it. I've been running a DnD curse of Strahd campaign, and I've been getting more and and more irritated at long rests, challenge ratings being meaningless, and martial vs spellcaster balance. Pf2e solves all those issues, and I didn't even realize till I sat down to do prep for a campaign.

I don't have a problem of caster vs martial in 5e. And I don't have a problem of balance either. But I know all people who do are indeed a lot better with pf2e.

To me this is a question of finding the ruleset that fits your table.
