One thing I don't care for in current #dnd culture - treating it as if it isn't a game anymore. Cooperative storytelling is cool! But it can be a proper game too! With simple good, evil, and victory conditions.
Maybe I'm just feeling burnt out right now, but I miss the GAME.
Perhaps I'm just more of a board gamer than a role-player. Someday I'd really like to talk some friends into trying Pathfinder 2E. It looks like it could be a happy middle - not super crunchy, but better structured and balanced than 5E. (Just my impression.)
