My original thought was 8. Back in the 90s I would probably have called the same thing a 7.
But then I read that 5e was a 6. Back in this poll, I voted that 5e was a 4: D&D 5E (2014) - How crunchy is D&D 5E
Accordingly, I moved my vote up to a 9. Which feels like inflation, but I can live with that. It seems the market is generally shifted towards less crunchy, narrative games these days. Which is ironic, given the popularity of VTTs. But watcha gonna do?
