D&D 5E Players, would you play in a game that only used the 5.1 SRD?

[Mistwell]

Hill dwarf Cleric (Life), lightfoot halfling rogue (thief), standard human Wizard (evocation), half-elf Bard (lore), half-orc Barbarian (beserker), tiefling Warlock (fiend), High Elf Druid (land), Dragonborn Paladin (Devotion) and many more. Yes, I could have fun with multiple campaigns using just those rules.

A good and enthusiastic DM can sell me anything so, yes? In itself it wouldn’t be a selling point however, and I would be much more interested in a PHB-only game than a SRD-only game, partially because SRD means no feats (or one feat?) and I prefer feats to ASI.

Yeah, I'd have no problem with this. The plethora of races and subclasses isn't what draws me to play, hanging out with friends on a shared imagined adventure is what draws me. You could condense it to the basic rules with only 4 classes and I'd still be happy to play.

Same here. I played human sword&board fighter in 3e and had a blast.

Character i played the most in 5e, my high elf fighter 2/wizard 10 would require minimal rework to fit into SRD rule set ( switch from abjuration to evocation). He would just blast more often. I made that character back when phb just came out.

There is enough material in SRD to make any character concept i would like to play.

No problem with it. Then again, my starting point is, essentially, the SRD without dragonborn, tiefling, and dragon sorcerer. From there, I add some additional PHB subclasses (e.g. additional cleric domains, battlemaster fighter, and Arch-fey Patron), and third party material.

I have mixed feelings about 2024 D&D, but if one of my friend groups invited me to play it with them of course I'd accept, even if we're only limited to 5.1 SRD. I might be a little grumpy about it in private, but at the end of the day most of the enjoyment I get out of D&D doesn't come from the rules, it comes from hanging out with my friends and roleplaying with their characters.
