Same. I have thought about doing something like this sever times and always come to the same conclusion.

Someone enterprising could use the simplified version of D&D in the new 2024 starter set to build it from the group up. BX was 64 pages...

I agree, but i think it should be 5.2e ;)

I agree that a 6E should also have built in explicit modularity, with dials for low and high fantasy, heroism and horror, and so on.
