Your issue, as I understand it, is with common GM skills, which playing a few sessions of Fate would fix. If you're dead set against learning a new system, the next best thing is to, as you said, simply play a rules-light version of 5E until the DM gets enough of a bearing to introduce more rules. | |

| Apr 24, 2018 at 19:14 | comment | added | Ben | While I like the idea honestly, I think DnD is on the easier side of systems. Compared to Shadowrun or The Dark Eye (probably not known outside of Germany?) it's really not overly complex. I feel like you can play DnD quite simplistic and add more advanced features like combat maneuvers, skill usage, saves and so on over time. | |
