Thanks for all the feedback everyone. So I guess you can take 10 and 20 in breaking down a door as well. It just means you've been bashing against it for a while. And let me get this right: - Take 10 is one attempt and takes the same amount of time as the normal skill check it's just that it...

Apologies. Haven't played in a while and I'm a bit rusty on the rules\; A rogue in the game last night asked if they could retry Open Locks after their first attempt failed. I said yes. They failed again. Rather than have them keep rolling dice, I then said they could Take 10. This still...

I'm just getting into D&D 3.0/3.5 again after a 3 year break and I'm a bit rusty. In the game last night, a player wanted to cast Hold Person at an NPC he could see through a closed glass window. The NPC was inside a house and the PC was secretly peering in from outside. I said, no. The player...

I wanted to track down a copy of MA for a sci-fi/fantasy cross-over I had in mind but wasn't sure which edition to pick up. 1st Edition 32-page original booklet that is still available as a pdf 2nd Edition 144-page book released under the Amazing Engine system. I heard most of the book...

Just downloaded the latest edition. Great stuff! This is the sort of thing that makes me proud to be a part of the gaming community. Brilliant (free) content by a dedicated, well-researched fan whose passion for the subject shows. Great work Joseph! And the blue maps are awesome!

Thanks for the link. I can get a near mint copy for $45 USD elsewhere though. I just bought a near mint copy but with a name inside for the equivalent of $25 USD anyway. This will do me until the hype dies down.

I emailed the The Games Keep and unfortunately they have no 3.5 PHBs :( But thanks for the link :)

Yes, please let me know the name of your FLGS. Hopefully they've got 3.5 PHBs and ship internationally.

I PMed you.

That's kind of like my situation. Even though I bought a lot of 3.5 books, our group never updated our core books. (Indeed, at the time, we kind of resented doing so.) Nevertheless, our group wants to update to 3.5 now. I've bought the DMG and MM for reasonable prices but the PHB is hard to...

That's a different situation. Hellbound is a rare boxed set that was published at the tail-end of the Planescape line. Even I forked out a lot to pick it up but I was prepared to do so. I'm not keen to fork out a lot of money for the 3.5 PHB though (well . . . until I get desperate :)

No. I'm quoting the USD value only. Nor am I including postage. The book originally cost $29.95 brand new. Used copies now sell for $45 to $60 USD.

According to Wikipedia, a 4th book called "Jakandor: Land of Destiny" by Jeff Grubb was meant to be released: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakandor#Jakandor

Most of these are auctions and will end up selling for close to the Buy-it-Now prices which start at $50 USD. The the one being auctioned in Australia I'll keep an eye on (one just recently sold for $64 AU in Australia though!) Thanks for your help

I'm from Australia. Half-Price Books look like they're only US-based. Is that correct?

Yes, I'm aware of such. I've never seen a standard edition of the PHB spike that much in price after the release of a newer edition. I know you have to pay a lot for books such as the 1st printing of the 1E DMG. In fact the 2nd printing alpha that accidently had pages of the MM printed in it is...

I've got my heart set on picking up at least 2 hard covers.

Where abouts are these for sale? (I'm from Australia by the way.)

I'm still on 3.0 books but wanted to update to 3.5 (yes, I'm a bit slow). What shocks me, however, is the insane prices sellers want. There must be millions of these books out there but I can't find one cheaper than $45 USD. Also, the bidding on eBay for these tomes is fierce. I saw a mint...

Oh, one question. Although Jakandor may not fit very well into the TSR settings of the time, do the books make any attempt to specifically place the island in Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, etc.? And perhaps give advice on how to adapt Jakandor to that setting?
