I was not happy with Basic 30 years ago and I was a fan of crunchy rules until Rolemaster and 3.x cured me of it. I still favour fairly rules heavy system like 5e. I do not think that 5e is that hard to grasp, the basics are not all that much but Basic (of BECMI fame) hid much because it only covered a few levels and was dungeon focused. I think that instruction on how to utilise the task resolution system and how to adjudicate the expected scenarios (Combat, environment, and NPC interaction) is more important than the complexity of the rules. I would agree that beginning in location based play is a better place to start before tackling complex story type play. I am for instance a big fan of the "Return of the Lazy DM" as DM advice and a firm believe in don't over prep but I concede that some people find that terrible advice.like:[MEDIA=youtube]RtW7QDkRm2Y[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
