Regarding the email question from Nick Zimmerman, who asked for recommendations on a AD&D type OSR game.
Basic Fantasy RPG http://www.basicfantasy.org
BFRPG uses ascending AC and 3e/d20 style Saves, and has class and race separated like in AD&D. Initiative is d6, but is simple enough that you can just use a d10 instead and use the same modifiers and method.
Nice shameless plug for DCC though, even while admitting it is not what Nick was asking for 🙁
