Your group would be sadly confused, then, by the vast array of candy, pennies-with-numbered-labels, and post-it-notes that comprise my massive army of counters.
I'm in full favor of square areas, even if WotC neglects to mention how the new facings work with doorways. (Don't tell me that the long and slinky snake can't go through a doorway, darnit, just because he controls a large area when coiled)
Re: Re: Wasn't 2e updated?
Th black corebooks were not rules revisions, as is the case with 3.5E. Layout, and art were changed (not the rules). 1E lasted from 1977 to 1989. 2E lasted from 1989 to 2000.
Three years is too soon . . . unless you're a money hungry corporation who must keep the shareholders happy.
It's D&D:The Gathering, people. Wake up. A new rules revision every three or four years is going to be par in the future.

What in the world are you talking about, Patrick? "Swear words"? I have NEVER used ANY "swear words" in ANY post on ANY message board, nor have I ever used any sort of vulgar language.
I resent this blatant slander. What in the world is going on in your head? Do you enjoy spreading random lies about people?
An apology is in order.

Why can't people just add on to the myriad of threads on this topic that already exist here and elsewhere? Why do they feel they always have to start a new one? Why do they usually have only a handful of posts when they do? Why?

Am I the only one who finds it incredibly amusing that a person who comes to a D&D forum to bash people who intend on buying 3.5e (even to the point of using "Bend over for the 3.5e solution!" as his signature) is feeling outraged that someone accused him of swearing on another message board?
Hmmm...

I'm gonna have to go with DJ on this one. I am Trollspotting. 
As for the backwards compatibility: Works for me. It's all a free update anyway, I just happen to be buying the books. I'm happy to support my hobby and keep them in business. I like that I can still use 3e if I want to, there is plenty of material available for it. There will be a few snags in the conversion process, I'm sure but it looks like it will be worth it.

Purple worms will probably not be appreciably changed. I don't have my MM here to check, but from the SRD:Goobermunch said:
Face/Reach: 30 ft. by 30 ft. (coiled)/"15_ft.
[...]
In battle, a purple worm forms into a coil 15 feet across, biting and stinging anything within reach.
So, it would appear that even when coiled, it actually takes up less physical space than the facing (just like a human doesn't take up a full 5' square)
