Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 7015506" data-source="post: 7811070">Sounds to me, that any kind of OSR game is fitting. The simple ruling-over-rules and rule-of-cool approach might seem awkward and tasking at first, but it pays out in the end aka more fun, smoother game play, less rules haggling.The good point about the mentioned games is, that you can get either a free-without-art version to test or they are even in print for very low costs. So basically no waste of money (and it supports the efforts of the designers). Also a lot of material is available for every system by many different folks giving it a twist and basically endless options for all editions previously published.Personally I changed for the reasons mentioned back to those old type of games - too much too keep in mind as a master and too much monster book keeping (knowing all the feats, skills and special rules becomes a drag sooner or later) just to name a few. And I hate guiding my players through the system by reminding them, that certain actions are not possible in this situation, and similar blablabla. Such things just hinder the flow of the game.So my recommendation: Try the games mentioned by others and find out what suits you best. And don´t forget: housruling is so much easier in OSR than in most modern game systems.It might take time to find the system you like, but be assured, the change is not so big as you might anticipate. The biggest change is for the DM, since he is the one who makes up the ruling. But those  first ad hoc rulings grow over time into a fixed set of game rules, that are as reliable as any big company product. Just get your players to be cooperative and patient with you as the DM and it will work out.</blockquote>
