Sort of. I ported my old school Labyrinth Lord game over to some of the new Basic rules (but not all of them). It's 2 sessions in and seems to be a smoother game. I didn't adopt all the rules since they're low-level characters who haven't played D&D before, or if they did it was like 15 years ago.

This looks like a fun variant of D&D. One idea for less book-keeping for injuries is to write injuries so they don't apply numerical modifiers, and instead make them all-or-nothing injuries. These should require creative problem-solving in play. For example: Concussion (Injury) You are...
