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

Did I say I still run these games? I hate 5e, pf2, pf1 and wouldn't touch 3/3.5 again. I ran all of these in the past, except pf2 but I've played pf2 plenty to know I hate and will never run it.

I run Hackmaster and other systems (oWoD, Cthulhu, WFRP, ...) which aren't bloated messes. I just think pf1 is slightly better than pf2 because that was my experience. But that seems ridiculous to you, because you feel insulted or something. I really don't care.

Sorry, but your hate just doesn't seem to be based in any real reason outside of your emotions

Can you read? I hate the bloat. I play games that are not bloated. I played these games for years and found that I dislike the game philosophies they have. Those game philosophies directly result in bloat.
