Houserules were the order of the day, because much of it wasn't fun as is. I usually ran AD&D characters through BECMI adventures, mostly because my Waldenbooks usually carried those rather than the AD&D ones. I'm not sure how much of this I can agree with. While the basic chassis of 5E gives us a shared language, the framework is designed for customization with homebrew and 3PP. I think this is going to make the game vary just as much between tables as in 1E. My group has 4 DMs, and each of us has our own set of houserules and customization that only apply for our game. I can't even image how varied it would be to play at a convention or AL.</blockquote>
