Yeah in most circumstances I think you may as well be playing the latest edition. You always get some die hard holdouts for previous editions, and eventually thinks become old enough to become old school, but for the most part it's most convenient to run the latest edition.

Also, got to give a call out to Midwest Pen Pals' "Movies Like Juno" which is like the perfect distillation of the genre for me.
It's got the movie quotes, the twinkly guitars, the woah-ohs. Absolutely deserves to be up there with American Football's "Never Meant" IMO.

I'm about a dozen albums into this exploration and my next stand out pull is Ben Quad. If I wasn't working my way through this list to try and discover new stuff, I've be putting "I'm Scared That's All There Is" on repeat for the rest of the night. Such good shit!

There are folks out there who are starting with '14 but I imagine that a lot of that's to do them being introduced to the game by someone who is running '14 and doesn't want to switch.
But it's a big reason I'm taking the '24 versions to KS next week, to cater to those new players starting with '24
