D&D 3.5

[Spriggan]

ok so here's a thread to talk all things 3.5.  

Wizards has released a PDF that will help you in converting your 3.0 D&D books to 3.5

As Slant mentioned in another topic Monte Cook has said some intresting things about 3.5

I found his list of specific pros and cons to be very interesting, but the rest was pretty standard. Of course 3.5 was planned from the beginning, and of course it's both bigger and sooner than it needed to be. I don't need an insider's scoop to figure that out.

Like I said, though, the specific list of good and bad changes was really interesting. I'd like to see more game reviews from a design perspective.

Incredibly curious

Well, I think I'm disappointed by what Cook points out. He predicts people playing 3.5 and "house ruling" portions of it back to 3.0. I'll probably do the other way.

And it looks like they haven't paid any attention to confusing and/or "broken rules" like AoO and such.

I don't think I'm going to get hooked into buying them. Now if they become presents... well thats a different story.  

I like Cook's review. It was good to hear something from a marketing viewpoint. The good points and bad points made me want them, but then not want them. So I'm really very confused actually. So lucky for me I'm just playing d20 Modern right now.

I had the opportunity to peruse the 3.5 PG and was not impressed.
Maybe I'll get it when 4.0 comes out a year from now.

What i do not understand is the new facing rules. He says it is likely for models. Yet, all of the models in my collection, both clix and lead, that are not square (ie, cavalry and chariots) use non-square bases. So, i think WOTC are using dodgy minitures.

And i am not gonna buy it - the nearest i have got to a D&D game for the last year or so is the AORP being on this forum. I'll save the money and spend it on X-Box games, like Fable and KOTOR

What?  Not tea or crumpets?  Again, Entropy, your lack of hardcore Britishness disappoints me.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

[Spriggan]

He's scottish and dosen't even wear kilts!  What's up with that.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

If I had any way of finding kilts around here I'd have one for almost every day.

[Fellfrosch]

Every day of the week or every day of the year?

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Thankfully, he doesn't mean every day of the day. Which could get icky.

[Entsuropi]

I get tea and food free off of my parents. So i will play KOTOR _while_ drinking tea. With my third hand. Yeah...

And the only thing i will say on the subject of kilts:
Scotland is the only country in the world to include a concealed weapon in its national dress.

[Mad Dr Jeffe]

Texas thinks its its own country, does it count?

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

I was thinking about every day of the year, but that'd be a big wad of funds that would be needed. So until I can do that, no. But every day of the day, now that, that I am considering. Thank you SE.
