It’s basically D&D 3rd edition, except it has managed to become its own thing because wotc kind of forgot to respect its playerbase at that time.

I’ve been hearing good things about 5e, because it has reduced a lot of the rules heavy nonsense that started to infect D&D 3rd edition onwards.

It still isn’t as lightweight as the various OSR (old school rules/revival) variants like “Lamentations of the Flame Princess” (definitely not for kids) and DCC (Dungeon Crawl Classics : http://goodman-games.com/dungeon-crawl-classics-rpg/ ) , but then that’s progress.
