We used LL core rules and AEC, and I used the module The Veiled Society as the basic launching pad for the campaign -- but virtually all of the monsters were pulled from the 1e Fiend Folio with little or no alteration. What makes OSR gaming so much fun is its modularity. (I even created 3 classes for Classic D&D which were published by Kobold Press). You can mix and match elements without having to over-worry about 'balance'.Now, I may also say that 5e is a great bridge between the old and the new.Perhaps the most exciting aspect of 5e for me is a return to this type of mentality. It is also the first official D&D product in AGES that can withstand a conversion to the new edition of old modules without getting lost in translation (in my opinion).I played Pathfinder from its official release until 2 years ago, when I went back to OSR gaming because I was completely burnt out on the power creep/rules bloat/fiddly bits. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />5e has brought me back to the WotC fold in a major way.</blockquote>
