SgtScott658 will not be back in this conversation for a while. Please carry on without him.

Yes, though I will still play just about anything as long as the GM is good.

Started with the Moldvay basic box set and then the AD&D 1st edition for awhile. Skipped 2nd-3.5 during college years and young adult life. Came back to Pathfinder as D&D next was beginning to start it's playtest. Quickly realized 5E felt closer to my original D&D experience than pathfinder and have been enjoying it since.

I'm returning from Pathfinder. I was looking for a simpler and less rule-lawyering oriented system. After the last books PF became unplayable IMHO so I switched to 5E.

I had left dd since 4th came out

I may love these new rules, and I am using them, but it's not really just the rules that are bringing me back. I'm a FR guy and the 4e destruction of the Realms (in the Realms, whatever) made me sell a significant portion of my books off in disgust. Now it looks like they have somehow miraculously repaired (or at least made acceptable) the lore and I am regretting my decisions.

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.
