SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Great OSR Fantasy Game that is close to D&D 5th Editon

You've just perfectly described Crimson Dragon Slayer D20.  It's really short, and FREE: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/303380/Crimson-Dragon-Slayer-D20-Revised

I will give it a look.  Thank you for the suggestion

No prob.  Let me know your thoughts once you've taken a look.  For me, who mostly runs 90-minute virtual sessions between the responsibilities of life, it's an easy to grab and go hybrid of OSR and 5e.

We played a couple sessions with a modified CDSd20 a year (or two?) ago, and it worked out really well.  My table needed a bit more structure so we made some minor adjustments, but nothing too dramatic.  If I can find my notes I'll type up what we did and send it your way (assuming you're interested).

It's worth noting that, while it's not relevant to this discussion, I realy like the original CDS as well.  I ran a one-shot at a local Con when it first came out and it play fast and easy even though the table was full of people who had never even seen it before.
