When I joined a face to face group in 2010 I believe they were playing 4e so I tried it out and liked it and started getting a little bit of player stuff. When I was fully in and got the online subscription for a year my group all but me decided they were sick of grinding 4e fights so we switched to Pathfinder and when I came to run the game I ran Pathfinder with the 3e Freeport Trilogy and the Reign of Winter Adventure Paths. I subscribed for a while to Paizo's APs and got a few on deep discount sales and liked them and I have played in a number of them.I like 5e a little better than 3e/Pathfinder (concentration, bound accuracy, skills, the balance points between classes and builds, easier monster stats to track) so once my group started into 5e when I DM I have used Paizao Pathfinder APs (Carrion Crown, Iron Gods) converted to 5e, which has been fairly easy to do.I could not say whether I would really like DMing the WotC 5e hardcover adventures, I have a few (Curse of Strahd, Icewind Dale) but have not run them or really read through them. When I put out a list of 20 big module themes of stuff I have with Pathfinder APs, WotC 5e stuff, AiME stuff, and Call of Cthulhu adventures the last time I took over DMing duties, Thundar the Barbarian style Iron Gods AP with tech in D&D land was the big enthusiasm winner. I normally run D&D in my homebrew mashup setting which is a lot of Ptolus and Golarion with other stuff mixed in as well so current setting offerings are cool and I am somewhat interested in checking different things out but I work a lot off of older material I have that I like and that I already integrated into my homebrew. While I use the FR gods as a pantheon in my setting for some areas, I don't own SCAG or the 4e setting book and don't really sweat that.</blockquote>
