Is there a more simple form of DnD to play with normie-esque friends?

>>53765665
Basic D&D.

>>53765665
You don't get to bring friends.

Well, excluding 5e, how about you play some Fucking D&D?

>>53765665
Don't play dnd.

Into The Odd.

>>53765665
Play a board game like talisman instead?
The only way to make dnd a game for normies is to remove the roleplaying aspect. There's an article of "beer and pretzel" RPGs about GURPS that's worth reading.

Hmmm

>>53765665
Not really.

You could try playing something better, though.

>>53765881
Like what?

>>53765665
If you mean P&P RPGs, you could run FATE. It's rules light and narrative driven. If you want D&D, then go 5e

>>53765665
>Need a simpler DnD for normie friends
They are not normies, they are retards

>>53765665
Don't know...mine are about to get thrown off the deep end with Kingdom Death whenever that comes in.

>>53765934
FAE is the light one, FATE itself is medium.

It's also not really a good normie game imo.
>>53765665
Check OSR games (Barbarians of Lemuria?), Dungeon World,if you like the combat Strike!

>>53765665
Pathfinder card game.

FATE is objectively the worst system to run with people who are not dedicated writers OR just want to have fun.

It's also not rules fucking light. It's narrative-driven but there are lots of rules.

Run the Tomb of Horrors and play with whatever remains

I second fucking D&D, our group loves it when we're missing people and wanna improv

I'm actually building something like a DnD but a more "robust".

I try to remove all the "logistics" and pendaticism from DnD, essentially creating DnD without the bureaucracy.

Small char sheet, simple battles, mainly focused in storytelling and the core of the game is the random generation of the world, encounters, creatures etc.
The randomness comes from huge wide lists of categories, rolling dice species the category of an encounter and the creature and you choose between a small range of actions.

>>53765665
Just play 5e

they just need to know, how a skill check, saving throw, attack roll, initiative and magic works.


The rest is on you, when something new comes up, you can explain it to them, but to be ready to play, you basically just need about half a hour with premade characters

>>53765665
Dungeon World. Yeah everyone on here hates it but it's a workable system that is very newbie friendly.

>>53766159
So you're not actually looking for something simpler at all.

4u

>>53766159
doing all that shit just makes it more complicated.
play 5e, use a campaign book. the only rule your players need to know at the start is "The player decides what to do on their turn and describes it, and the DM describes the result". If they aren't a waste of skin they'll pick up the rules. "Normie" is something grogs and mouthbreathers on the internet use to make themselves feel superior.

I am, I'm continuing my minimalist version of a DnD-esque game until I find a really simple and fun mode of DnD.

You could start with one-page systems and then move on to 5e.

>>53767480
where can I find more one-page systems?
>>53766993
What are the best campaigns?
There's so many books, themes, stories, I'm lost.

Look up Microlite20. They've beaten you to the punch about 300 times over for the last 10 years consecutively.

redpill = DnD 5e is shit
