SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Bemusingly I went practically the opposite.

I found BX alot more user friendly and the "make it your own" nearly blank setting" was a brilliant idea that AD&D should have tried as well. Iver the decades I've had an easier time getting players into D&D with BX.

I Dabbled a little with BECMI and while the intros are great. The overall system just felt too stretched out.

I'm thinking of making an rpg where the gm can generate a setting with dice. I appreciate the idea of having free-reign to make a setting your own, but some people like to have more guidance and structure. It's all down to personal taste.

B/X was the one that literally came with its own setting . And yeah, it was meant to be more user friendly since it was aimed at children.
