In games like D&D 5th Edition the party is made up of a band of heroes, like low tier avengers characters, and are pretty hardy unless the DM is set on wiping the party. There is nothing wrong with being mighty heroes battling evil, but I would like to invite you to try something different. Join me in my long campaign using the system Lamentations of the Flame Princess.
This is an OSR game that is based on the rules of original D&D. What makes this different from 5E is that you start out a little better than the average villager. Combat is dangerous and there are higher risks to adventuring, but there is greater reward and sense of accomplishment. When you level up you'll know you earned it. This is a game that requires you to use your head and work together with your party. The game's mechanics are simple to learn and character creation can be done in 1-3 minutes.
