I go way back with D&D, having played 1e first but after a couple sessions purchased the Basic set (red box)... so I've played those and every iteration since (not counting [notranslate]Pathfinder[/notranslate]).I've been running 4e since slightly before release. During that time, 4e's warts have become increasingly apparent to me. However, the same thing happened with every other edition before hand, so you know. I suppose I'm most in love with 1e, but it lacks key elements for me... likewise every other edition so far. So I'd say I'm a casual 4e player. (Well, dm.) Regardless, I'm part of the "4e crowd", I suppose, since I've been running it for years and have no intention of moving back to a previous edition.5e is looking promising to me: enough customization, enough simplicity, fast enough play, enables mixed level parties (so every pc starts at 1st level is a viable playstyle), etc. It enables the type of game I want to run. It ties things to the campaign world (the traits you get from backgrounds are great) and encourages the pcs to make use of those character backgrounds. So far it looks awesome to me. So when it actually releases, I'm very likely to be a first-day adopter. We'll see. If the game looks to suck, I won't buy it- but so far, I'm thinking it's going to be my new best edition ever.</blockquote>
