Where recent editions of DnD rely on “Encounter Ratings” to help the Dungeon Master planned balanced and challenging battles, the old-school mentality leans towards an organic approach. There are old-school DnD campaigns that deserve 5e versions, which include Beyond the Crystal Cave, an adventure the players can complete without ever engaging in combat, if they so choose. Old school “hex crawl” DnD, where the group explores a hex-based map with minimal direction, is a lot like traversing Death Stranding’s blighted America.
In Death Stranding, players often need food and shelter more than grenades, and increased carrying capacity is worth more than a superior gun. Gathering food and water is often a trivial matter in recent editions of DnD, where hunting and foraging is a central focus in an old school campaign. Where a 4e DnD player spends time picking the best magic items and combat powers to prepare for epic, set-piece battles, old school games often focus on “sandbox adventures,” where mundane gear and resources are pivotal.
