Keeping 1st edition AD&D means keeping the original Gygax DMG, the greatest RPG book ever created. The answer was simple…
I taught my 5 year old son the basics of D&D - using 5E. He is in kindergarten. I think the 5E might be a bit more complex, but they're also a lot better written. The ease of understanding the rules is probably very close to eqivalent.Basic. Because I want a simple ruleset I can teach to grade-school kids, get them interested in the game, play an adventure or two, and sow the seeds for the next generation of D&D players.
