Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Reviewed 125
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.

I'm sure there are tons of us that wish we could do some kind of class action lawsuit like the tobacco addicts. D&D killed our GPA! As did Warcraft II, Quake, MUDs, etc. I think females were in there somewhere, but I can't really remember.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate that they are breathing some nice life into it, and that they are trying to balance everything. But to revamp the core rulebooks entirely in just 2 years?
Who do they think they are? Microsoft?

And live in their parent's basement.
And hope someday they'll actually meet a real GIRL (with +5 ta-tas).

Not only that, but with GURPS you could BE a lawyer/accountant!
Accountant: "I summon the Holy Audit Avenger, and command it to smite the Enron Dragon"
Lawyer: "Bah! You don't have a chance against my Vorpal Blade of Shredding +5!"
