So I screwed up when I created the poll and hid the results. I thought ya'll might be interested to see, so here's a screenshot of where we're at with voting:

If someone knows how to make the results public, please let me know. I don't see a way that's immediately obvious. I suspect it's a choice that can only be made a poll creation and not something that can be edited.
 


None of them for me, I reckon I will have done eventually just by sheer usage. BECMI I did straight off, coming in easily digested chunks, but not any other edition of DnD
 


All three twice. I like to really understand what's in there so when I feel I need to make a house rule I have a proper perspective on it, so I can be more consistent in my DMing, and so I'm pretty darn sure what is and isn't in the books (details will still need to be referenced).

I read all the way through the SCAG too, though I didn't pay close attention to some of the setting information that wouldn't have been accurate in 1371 DR. If an RPG book isn't enjoyable enough to want to read all the way through (sure, some parts are always a slog when read that way), then I probably regret my purchase.
 


I've read all 3, been DMing a strictly by the book homebrewed 5E campaign since august 2014, no EE optional, or PotA or OotA or SCAG yet, but I have and have read Princes and OotA
 

Actually we reread alot of things quite often , because we have converted from 2E, and I have a coupel new players, also I have one of my old DMs running a new campaign with us playing monster races but using 5E rules. A lot of stuff comes up, new player trying to cast 2 bonus action spells for instance ( druid wants to cast Shillelagh, and then Misty step) because they finally understand the one spell and one cantrip thing but dont understand the one bonus action per turn thing. So it's pretty common for rules queries at least once per session to be brought up with 7 diverse styled players :)
