      Seriously. 5e is already a watered-down, anemic shadow of what 3.5 was… and this is too complex?

          I would say there are plenty of systems that fail at being less complex than 3.5. If I never have to do GURPS math again, for instance…

      It’s not the complexity. It’s the bloat, terrible interactions and game dynamics. 3.5 didn’t suffer from gm burn out, but 5e does. Because 5e is a bigger mess.

        Not on 3.5 per se, but I had years long GM burnout after running my first Pathfinder 1e campaign. Bad memories from it were what actually kept me from giving Pathfinder 2e a chance for a long time.
