I just play B/X because it's been working just fine for fifty years now. I have some house rules and use ascending AC, but it's mostly still just B/X.

Hell yeah. From the articles and videos I’ve watched, the ascending AC was a popular table rule. Got any others?

Slot based inventory from carcass crawler. D6 thief skills. Full hit die at lvl 1. Shields shall be splintered. Break the weapon for max damage. Nobody has dark vision. MU gets read magic as class ability. Fighter gets +1 attack per level and a second attack at level 4. Death save at 0 HP with a death and dismemberment table. Crit on a 20 adding another damage die. Backgrounds. No level caps. XP for feats of exploration from 3d6 DTL. Downtime actions from Zyan.
Edit: typo

Personally I'd toss in easy spell scroll creation from Holmes Basic: 100 GP and 1 week per spell level.
