Suppose the only RPG you could play for the rest of your life was official D&D, and only one edition. Which one would you choose?
I'm tempted by 5e for the player base and go-between old school and new school feel, but am put off by the power level and abundance of magic from the get go. I like old school over new school, so 3e and 4e are out. I was raised on good vs evil type fantasy, so I like the flavor and art of BECMI and 2e. I never played B/X or 1e. I think simplicity wins the day for me, so I choose BECMI over 2e.
