Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Reviewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the rules-updates-or-cash-cow? dept.

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.

    Real geeks know that this "thac0" thing was a 2E crap term and has no place in "real" (1st and 3rd) DnD. :P

    HA!

    REAL geeks still PLAY 1st edition!

    And live in their parent's basement.

    And hope someday they'll actually meet a real GIRL (with +5 ta-tas).
