24) COMPLEX / SIMPLE RPG you play

A notable change from the 2014 question, Most Complicated RPG Owned

So, on the semi-regular lately:

Complex: Dungeons & Dragons. It has three supposed core rulebooks (I would disagree with the Monster Manual) and lots of people use apps to play it. That may be one reason that Human Fighter is by far the most common character type in official surveys, it means avoiding about three quarters of the Player’s Handbook. I’ve played more complex games (and more complex editions of this game) but not lately, and they don’t claim to be introductory.

Simple: D6 Star Wars.


Two word prompt

24) COMPLEX / SIMPLE

If I’m stumped for a plot I tend toward murder mysteries, and introducing factions to ongoing settings. Hopefully the results actually make sense in the end.

    Craig Oxbrow I don't doubt the survey results about Human Fighter and therefore skipping most of the rules 😉 This absolutely matches my experiences, whether back in the 80s at school, at Conventions over the years, and even with computer games like Neverwinter Nights persistent worlds, new players often saying "What's the simplest." 🙂
