I say 2020 both because there’s been a lot of new additions to the OSR and OSR-adjacent space in the past couple of years and also because I want to assume we’ll be playing online.
I’m personally interested in something in the D&D-adjacent realm (ie, should be compelling to new players who want to “play D&D”) but feel free to discuss good options other genres too!
If you’re trying to help me find my ideal answer, I’d also love a game that has extremely simple character creation but also enough variation that all the lvl 1 PCs don’t look more-or-less identical.
