Is the latest edition of DnD really the best system?

Dungeons and Dragons, especially fifth edition will always hold a special place in my heart however, over the years I have had some gripes with the system. Have you and your group ever gotten bogged down with rules and sats in your regular Dungeons and Dragons game night. Well if you have, why not try a rules-lite RPG such as Knave, Into the Odd, or the lesser known Cairn. Personally I chose Cairn as the rulebook for the first edition of the game is available online for only 3.22 GPB, what a bargain.

I ran keep on the borderlands with the cairn rule system and I have to say it was quite a success. Character creation is fast and fun instead of taking half an hour to an hour it takes about ten minutes or less. The rulebook itself is well made and very intuitively laid out. There is little setting specific rules which is nice as you can use the rules for virtually any fantasy setting. The rulebook also includes instructions on how to create your own monster and generate the appropriate stats. Given all thats gone on the past few years with Hasbro Dungeons and Dragons and their countless scandals. As Dungeons and Dragons shifts online more and more, it's important for us to keep social aspect of the hobby alive. Tabletop RPGs are meant to be played in person, and I believe there is great value in a group of people sat round a table telling a story together. Rules-lite OSR RPGs are a great way to introduce your friends and family to the TTRPG hobby.
