This was my first step into the world of OSR and something other than D&D and pathfinder. This system is what taught me how to actually have fun, how TTRPG are meant to be played, and that simplicity can add more depth to your campaign than any 300 page rulebook ever could. My players who come from a long background of pathfinder and 3.5 absolutely hated this system as it does lack character complexity. This system is made for people who love to roleplay and not like to be bogged down by complex mechanics that can interpreted in a multitude of ways or constant page flipping. No, you spend 10 min creating a character, boom you're playing. Simple tests of skills and a little imagination can help narrate a quick fast paced, adventure filled dungeon crawl in half the time. Combat is smooth and quick while also being extremely easy to manage. Again though, some imagination is required as combat can be a little stale after a few rounds just swinging and dodging. Magic is simple and straightforward as well. If the limited spells bore you, adding more balanced spells is super easy. Finally, not to mention the plethora of excellent and cheap 3rd party material, you'll never be bored of this system.

This system is highly recommended for GMs and players who are easily exhausted by the more complex modern systems and just want a game to tell a fun story together.
