check out all the class handbooks
kits are the bomb

Spider Farm on Dragonsfoot can be run with 2E. Runs okay and is a nice module to drop in to start players off with.

Houserules? Hmm. Not sure. But don't throw everything at the game first session. Maybe introduce weapon speeds to initiative when you have a handle on the system. Same for weapon vs armour type.

Don't allow any and every single splatbook. Create a campaign world/idea and provide a selection of choices for that world.

You can keep 2E BECMI Redbox simple and dial it up with the "optional" bits in the PHB.

Can you recommend some kits, I've checked the fighter manual and the beserker seems to be the only decent one.

>>46154441
All the main class ones and Humanoids

Really? I always liked the Swashbuckler. They were more about style than being especially effective, the idea was really to fluff up your character beyond just "thug with sword".

Beserker seemed a bit droll to me.
A 10 minute charge up time is sorta weak.
For better variety, look at the Dark Sun Gladiator Handbook and see what parts you can translate to a Fighter.

My nigger
>Gets 2 weapon proficiencies extra, starting with 6
>has to put half of them in fencing blades, but that's what you want (you can spend 2 for the whole small group of all fencing weapons or 3 for all bladed weapons and then specialize specialize specialize)
>Gets a bonus to AC when lightly armored, can still wear full plate
>can learn the thieves skills at no penalty
>has roleplaying obligations but gets a bonus when dealing with the opposite gender

Since he really doesn't have drawbacks, it's up to the GM to put him in a rough spot, time after time, but that's what you want.

Natural 20s do double damage, no confirm.
