Lately 5e is taking a lot of mindshare because it's giving me the table simplicity I wanted to run it, but I still run Basic if I need to give someone a taste of D&D, because it's in many ways even simpler than your typical Euro-Style Board Game! (i could teach someone to play Basic faster than I could teach Ticket to Ride or Pandemic!)</blockquote>
