[QUOTE="DMJon, post: 6719080, member: 6698421"] I probably fall best into category 2. I stated playing with the Holmes box set back in the late 70’s and moved on to AD&D shortly thereafter. By the time 2E came around I had unfortunately lost much of my interest in D&D. However, In 2008 I stumbled upon the Penny Arcade podcasts which sucked me back in and I’ve been playing 4E ever since. For me, 4E was the perfect version of the game. I recall reading through the 4E Player’s Handbook and thinking to myself “This is the D&D I’ve always wanted!” When 5E was announced I was a little disappointed because I didn’t want to see support for 4E stop. I followed the development of 5E from a distance and when it was finally released I purchased all of the books. I’ve read through most of the Player’s Handbook and found that the system doesn’t resonate with me like 4E does. 5E is an interesting game but whenever I find myself getting a little excited about it, I’ll read a rule or a concept that I don’t like or agree with. This is frustrating because I want to like the edition but it just won’t let me! :-) I’ve loved every version of D&D I’ve played and I’m sure I would have enjoyed 3E/3.5 had I been playing when they were released. To be honest, I know I’d have fun playing 5E if it was the version my friends wanted to play but as it stands 4E is still our game of choice. [/QUOTE]
