Fantasy exploration (so D&D) does play a lot differently when the PCs aren't as durable as they are in 5E, or (and) when they have less mechanical widgets to lean on.   It's a big part of my enjoyment of OSR stuff generally. I also enjoy 5E, but they really aren't the same thing except in some surface level ways, at least in terms of game play and feel. That's ok too. No one is being conscripted into a game here, and people are allowed to like their own thing.For that specifically 1984 feel I quite like B/X Essentials from Necrotic Gnome. It even has some options and whatnot to open up the Rogue and Fighter a little, if you so desire.</blockquote>
