I just wanna start DMing a game and I need to buy $150 in books to do so? The fuck.

Edit: Lots of people telling me to play other systems. Here’s what’s up:

I want to play a 1-on-1 game with my wife
I’ve never DMed before
She’s never played a TTRPG, so this would be her introduction
She’s been reading a lot of fae-related fantasy, which has me thinking she may want to play roleplay heavy with some fae storylines present
Ideally the system wouldn’t be too crunchy or combat focused

Edit 2: I’ve spoken with her and she actually wants a more modern setting

Basic Fantasy is simple to learn, AND ALL THE BOOKS ARE FREE!!! https://www.basicfantasy.org/

The books are also on amazon at like 6-10 a piece if you're in the US.

It's based on the OSR (i.e. Original DnD rules but updated)...
