I’ve restated reading basic from starting with Moldvay Basic to switching to Holme’s Basic. I honestly wish I returned to the hobby (I skimmed AD&D but only played 3.x and/ or 4E previously) and ran Basic instead of 5th Edition (my first time DMing) in 2019.

I’ve found myself musing more at the idea of something that combines Holmes Basic, Moldvay Basic and Cook/Marsh Expert, as well as Mentzer’s BECMI (Rules Cyclopedia), but progresses and modernizes it’s core identity. I enjoy seeing what others make and their own “edits” or interpretations of the rules, so which of the many retro-clones and OSR fantasy games are your go-to?
