I had to look up what fkr means here. Another post said

You may have heard of FKR recently, an emerging style of RPG play that takes inspiration from old-fashioned Free Kriegsspiel wargames and pre-DnD RPG campaigns. It's something like a fork of the OSR.

I don't really like osr, so this might not be for me.

I had to look it up too. It's super annoying to have to do that.

What does FKR means ?

It's a pitty that the paper misses that point. It seems to be a variant of OSR with more weight on character and more free rules but no idea what it means practically

Great links! It's good food for thought. I play with some children (and adults) who are afraid of learning new systems. The modern prevalence of big rulebooks at times gets in the way of fun. FKR shows that roleplay needn't be so complicated.
