I find 5th edition players tend to tunnel vision on min/maxing and resource management, 5th short rest today? The power curve is also really steep. IMO 2nd edition is generally the better choice if you want less crunch. It’s more random, but IMO memorable deaths are better than forgettable gameplay. White wolf lets you play something meaningfully non human which can be fun. Play a short or long lived race in D&D and surprisingly few things change. Play a Mummy, changeling, werewolf, or even vampire and you’ll notice. A Vampire player quickly starts looking at baseline humans as food, it’s appropriate and kind of wild.
