Book Reviews of Dungeons & Dragons Core Rulebook Set (Dungeons & Dragons d20 3.5 Fantasy Roleplaying, Three Book Slipcased Set)

Book Review: Just getting into it...
Summary: 4 Stars

I'd give it more stars, as it does seem to have the best of 3.0 with some new (and older) ideas, but we really haven't started getting into it seriously with our game group quite yet to judge (we've been playing off and on with various groups on our own since the late 1970's, and remember the old 3 book core system...as in three little chapbooks and a set of LOW-impact dice. And yes, I AM a female gamer in real life...).

From what I've seen so far, though, there's nothing too different to make me go, "HEY! That sucks!" and quite a lot that I like (the lack of Class-Only skills being among them. Part of the "older ideas" was in folding such things back into the class as part of its description). When 3.5 was first released, I was annoyed that Hasbro seemed to change "only" 30 pages here, 40 pages there, 20 pages some other place (with some of that just new art...whoop-dee-doo) within the core books, thus necessitating purchasing three new books at hardback prices, just for those changes. We would've more quickly coughed up half that price to obtain those 20-40 new pages here and there as Addenda, Corrections, whatevers in paperback book (or downloadable PDF) form and been happy.

But with 4.0 coming out (and with all I've heard about that, I am in NO hurry to invest [literally] in that whatsoever; whatever that thing is, it is NOT D&D, AD&D, or anything resembling any permutation of it...maybe a video game, more likely), the 3.5 books are more reasonably priced now (as in, usually on sale everywhere), and were worth the cost. Not to mention, compatible with Paizo's excellent Pathfinder series!

Plus, the slipcase is cool. Unwieldy in a backpack, but still cool. ;->
