Message: <blockquote data-quote="Willie the Duck" data-source="post: 8535063" data-attributes="member: 6799660">I think what would work fine would be a game set that ostensibly looked like B/X, but included a lot of the stuff in 5e (point buy or 3BestOf4d6 for attributes, max hp at L1, unified experience table, no racial level limits, proficiency bonus, skills system) instead of the rules that oD&D had. Even then, you'd have to start out with some simplifications ('why does my fighter get/need these extra abilities like action surge and second wind?'), a few re-names (5e use of hit dice), and bring things back to mostly Tolkien-based races and the more obvious-role classes.And yes, this would all have to  be in a world where someone other than Gary was running the show (or, as Cadence suggests, slipped past him in the basic game once he'd turned his attention to AD&D).</blockquote>
