This thread gives me an idea for a Basic Rules game. Use only hill dwarves, high elves, lightfoot halflings, and standard humans. Humans can be any of life cleric, champion fighter, thief rogue, or evocation wizard. Dwarves and halflings can only be champion fighters. And elves can only be eldritch knight fighters. I think that would go a long way towards emulating a B/X style game.
Shouldn't halflings be rogues in this scenario?
EDIT: I don't remember how they were treated in BECMI, but that just seems to be the genre influence.
No.
But I would TOTALLY get a B/X.
In other words, simplified and separate system.
One that is mostly compatible, but different.
With race-as-class, for example.
This guy did a pretty good job of BXing 5e.
