I'm not trying to start a war, but simply saying that there is a system, that's very closely related to D&D, that has stuck with the mechanical crunch for those that want it. Waiting for WotC to provide it in D&D 5e is probably futile given that it would fly directly in the face of their stated design goals. And I imagine 6e (if there is one) will double down on their design goals (further streamlining the ruleset where they can).The great thing is that the adventures for each can be easily adapted to the other (or so I hear <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ), massively increasing the amount of playable content.</blockquote>
