NGL if you take out what's left of the resources in 5e you'll reduce the game to exclusively standing in front of the enemy taking turns hitting each other, instead of just mostly.

The truth is if you want a resourceless game you're gonna have to play a different system, and if you're gonna play a different system you're gonna have to run it. Luckily, it's very easy to get groups for new systems, because you just tell the 5e players it's D&D and they probably won't even notice the rules changed.

    I'd love to play other systems. My weekly group finally agreed to try other things on the regular, and so far everyone has really enjoyed it. I think the core engine is called Year Zero? Honestly the guy running it maybe did a smart thing by giving the group a short Google doc with the rules summarized instead of the actual rule book. Getting players to read is embarrassing difficult.

    Also, are you me? Because I have often half jokingly said that you could just change from 5e to another system and the average player wouldn't notice because they're so bad at the rules anyway.

    I'm slightly joking, but it's a lot less than half. My respect for 5e players took a massive nosedive after I actually played it, so I have run a few oneshots that have started with "oh by the way we're using Pathfinder 2e tonight" because I just told the 5e players we were playing "D&D".
