Staying close to the core rulebooks it always worked great for us. 3.5 left a bad taste in my mouth for a few reasons which I choose not to discuss here for the sake of avoiding edition-warring, but I'll play it as a PC still. I've since gone back to BECMI & 1st Edition and enjoyed them fine. Despite its major changes, my time playing 4th ed was enjoyable; I'm not sure I'd go back to that ruleset for a long campaign again, though. 5th ed is the best ruleset I've used since 2e. I'm currently running a 2e game and was in a 1e game as a player for about a year. For me I suppose it depends on the group I'm in. I've had groups where everyone had a different "Will-Not-Play" rules set and we had to work it out before beginning. 5e & 2e were always the only ones we could all agree we would play.But, all that noise aside, I've run all six major editions at Gen Con in years past (I called it the Edition Gauntlet Ordeal) and I stand by the statement that the players at the table make or break the game more than the rules can.</blockquote>
