This is really true. Back when I DM'd, it was way easier to make a great
game with AD&D than GURPS or CHILL or MERPS, because the combat rules
were so simple that they didn't get in the way of the story. Those other
games took FOREVER to get through a battle, and it was much easier to
figure out what a reasonable challenge for a party was when making an
AD&D adventure.
