At the moment, my main interest is with B/X D&D (in the form of Old-School Essentials). I was born too late to play it at the time (when I started, the current edition was AD&D 2nd), so I'm curious to go back to the beginnings of D&D.
It will take some time, though, until I run it, since I want to use it with Necrotic Gnome's Dolmenwood setting, which will probably arrive only later this year in book form.

Other than that, I am currently looking at a handful of OSR-titles (mainly Mörk Börg and Ultraviolet Grasslands), but I guess that would basically fall into the B/X category.

Ultraviolet Grasslands is right down my alley. Love Vance and Wolfe.
 

I have dabbled in all of the numeric editions and to some extent what came before. 4e is the extreme exception. Played for one session and said "nope. Not doing that anymore." But this is not an edition war.

For a long time i have played and dm'd a mix of 3 and 3.5.

That said i liked so much of what is in 2 through 3.5 (as well as some lore and campaigns from 1) that ive decided to start working on a project. Im trying to take pieces of lore and everything else (rules included) from 2 through 3.5 and lore from 1 to try to put together a custom edition that uses retooled mechanics to have a game that plays a lot like a mix of 2 through 3.5 (with some lore from 1 through 3.5) but has mostly got levels removed from said game.

So id say right now im most interested in editions 1 through 3.5 but its because of a project im working on.

Otherwise id say it would be 3.5 im most interested in.

I'm designing my own retrowhatever, with the high premise of reimplementing AD&D's Player's Option series in BECMI. I'm looking at a lot of 3.5 and Pathfinder 3pp for inspiration-- Tipsy Tabby Publishing's Overhauling Multiclassing and Rogue Genius Games' Genius Guide to the Talented $CLASS series especially.

So I'll run Rules Cyclopedia or AD&D 2e Player's Option pretty happily... though 3.PF is still too much work... and I'll play any of the three under a flexible and generous DM.

I have a friend who only wants to run D&D 3.5 "Core Only"... she invites me to play, I express my enthusiasm, and then she says "Core Only". She doesn't understand why I immediately back out, and I don't understand why she doesn't say "Core Only" up front, and neither of us will ever learn.

My pet project is advanced B/X with microfeats and 5Es skill system and bounded accuracy.

I choose 5e and aD&D 2nd ed. Talking about D&D I only play 5e, and don't think it's going to change. I have been runing a dark sun campaign for almost 3 years (on 6 months gaps in between to play Dragon Agem just to change the air a little bit). I'm open to check flavor for any edition, specially 3rd edition cosmology, 2nd ed adventures, etc.
