Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Reviewed

WorselWorsel writes "The new edition of the seminal Dungeons & Dragons paper-RPG comes out this Friday and d20zines.com has this review. This is the first new edition of D&D since Hasbro acquired Wizards of the Coast. The last edition came out almost two years ago, and this time around the prices of three core books are up by $10 each. Since these are partially incompatible with older 3rd edition books, WotC is printing/making downloadable a short booklet explaining some changes." In addition to being a product review, it's a good overview of what's changed since 3rd edition, and really helps one decide if the changes are important enough to rebuy the core rulebooks.

whoa....this is evil...

I was just getting to the point where I was going to start a campaign...so it's evil in that right. More to the point, this is saying that to jump to the 3.5 rules, you're going to have to buy the 3rd edition rules AND the 3.5 rules - ergo, not only is the price increased $10/book, that's in ADDITION to the original books. we're looking at >$100 outlay just for the first three core books (given that I assume the 3E &3.5 to be one "book")
