[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 8493353, member: 58416"] In the early days of 5E playtests, "modularity" was touted as a design goal. While, yes, there are options in the DMG, I'm not sure that design goal was met. There are some core parts of how the game is built which would require a deeper redesign to accommodate options which deviate from 5E's default playstyle. It is certainly possible to add options for an "advanced" version or remove pieces for a "basic" version, but I do not believe going such a route (without changing some core components of 5E) would be wholly satisfying to the audiences wanting those things. If you want to play 5E, play 5E and maybe look into some third party products which nudge the game toward the experience you want. On the other hand, if you want something more different than what 5E offers right out of the box, I would recommend trying some other rpgs and discovering different ways of doing things. [/QUOTE]
