[QUOTE="Fenris-77, post: 7986716, member: 6993955"] Let me expand a little on why I like 5TD so much. It is by no means a complete system, not really. It's stripped down 5e with all the basic rules in place to play and enough compatibility to use 5e materials and it's supposed to be used with those other materials (as well as OSR stuff). There are no ribbons and fripperies in its 49 elegant pages though. As some one mentioned, for example, there are no monsters. I look at this as a toolbox rather than just as a stand alone game. You can actually play it as is, using 5e materials on the fly, but I liked it because it seemed really quick and intuitive to bolt on whatever else I felt like using, and also to quickly redo monsters instead of using them as-is (or magic, or whatever). The rules are very easy to hack. I'm looking at using it to run a Midgard campaign, and it took me maybe 5 minutes to stat out the rest of the races I might want, and porting over some themed magic also won't be hard. Anyway, that's where I'm at with 5TD. [/QUOTE]
