As someone who hung onto 3.5e for a long time and got into 5e very late, these are the two most important things you need to know.1. 5e is very easy to pick up. If you're a 3.5e master, just do a quick look through the books, and you should have enough to get started on building a character. As an important side note, its much harder in 5e than previous editions to create a bad build, so feel free to just throw something together and try it.2. The best edition to play is the one that you have a game invitation for. You have an invitation to play 5e. Going ahead, 5e will probably be the most common game you find. So, if you want to play D&D, just go ahead and play 5e.The rest is all just details. Seriously. For as much as we will argue forever on these forums, the details really don't matter as much as finding a game with people you like, and having fun with the game. 5e is just as good as any other edition. Leaving a game over edition wars is like throwing away a free Toyota Camry because you insist on only buying Ford F150s. It may not be the car you want, but it gets you from point A to point B, and it's free. When you're so rich you are dripping with extra cars (i.e. gaming opportunities) that you can afford to abandon one just because it isn't 100% perfect, then get picky about models/editions. Until then, enjoy the ride. At worst, it will be just OK.</blockquote>
