What if the 3 Little Brown Books had been treated similar to a mainstream board game like Monopoly? The editing, artwork, and formatting would be updated, but it would still be a box containing at most the 3LBBs, the Reference Sheets, and ALL the reccommended dice! (arguably the dice are the main "game play pieces" in D&D) In other words the rules would remain nearly set in stone, but there would be licensed modules and many adventures produced to be used with the game.

What would the game look like today? Has anyone tried making an OD&D "corrected, edited, and updated" 3LBBs Reference Sheets facsimile? What kind of wild, weird adventures would we have if 0eD&D was all that D&D ever was? Underpinning these assumptions are the assumptions that Dave and Gary had never gotten bad blood between them and that TSR had grown into a "proper" corporation with in-house game and book publishing.
