It doesn't really chime with my experience. I have played and DM'd all versions of D&D from Basic onward. I find 5e as concrete as any other version.For example, resources - spell slots, concentration, ki, superiority dice, Hit Dice, inspiration, channeling, encumbrance, equipment lists, various class-specific pools, exhaustion, and a few recovery mechanisms. I have not found resource management to be "out the window" in 5e so there is a dissonance for me when reading that.Similarly, the rules for 5e are tightly knit and concrete. It is a complete game system: there is little that cannot be managed with the help of one or other mechanic. If time permits, perhaps you could point to some B/X rules that can cast this "looseness" of 5e rules into the light?</blockquote>
