MODERATORS
Play the game the way it wants to be played.
Each game has a specific style/way it’s designed to be played. The system is for that specific thing, and usually it’s worth playing through at least a quick start, starter set, or simple module to figure out what that game demands.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hack or homebrew, but you should keep in mind what the system wants when you’re bolting things on to it.
A thousand games of political intrigue and noir detective work run in DND 5e just cried out in terror.
