I think this will be the third time I've come back to D&D. I first stopped in late 2E, when the game got a bit long in the tooth; departed for a few years of Vampire - 3E brought me back. Then, children - so I missed a few years during that time. Final one happened in early 4E, moved on to greener pastures with Pathfinder and other games and discovered Savage Worlds (squee!!!). 5E's release has partially brought me back, though I only followed the 1st playtest packet before I jumped in with the Starter set and the full rules.
