3.5 Publications

Eye Tyrant

First Post
3.5 has been out almost a year now... Can anyone here list all the "official" 3.5 stuff that's out there? I know that The Complete Warrior and UA are very likely 3.5 friendly but I'm not 100%... Basically if I'm going to purchase stuff for my latest game I'd like to keep it all "simple" by using 3.5 stuff only. Can anyone help me compile a list of 3.5 material.

So far:

PHB v3.5
DMG v3.5
MM v3.5
A handful of 3.5 adventure downloads from WotC

What else complies with the 3.5 rules?

Complete Warrior is certainly 3.5-updated. None of the softcover "splatbooks" are, but they'll receive similar updates (next up: the Complete Divine).

Unearthed Arcana is really its own entity; it's compatible with 3.5, but nothing in there is an official part of the ruleset. Unless you want to mess with the rules in your game or publish your own d20 stuff that uses variant rules, I don't recommend it.

The Expanded Psionics Handbook that's coming out is 3.5-friendly.

Other 3.5 titles on shelves now (anything since August of last year):

Draconomicon
Player's Guide to Faerun
Underdark
Book of Exalted Deeds

Cool, I have access to BoED... Saw the Draconomicon, awesome at first glance but a bit pricey... Will take a peak at the Underdark and PGtF...

Thanx!!
 

Any WOTC product published after July 2003 would be 3.5 books, while those books published a few months before that should be somewhat simple to convert, since a lot of that material was written with the revisions in mind. Arms and Equipment Guide, for example, is a 3.0 book but the equipment is balanced against the stuff in the 3.5 PHB and shouldn't pose any problem being used in a 3.5 game.

Miniatures Handbook (WotC) has a bunch of 3.5 D&D stuff as well as the miniatures rules.

Dragonlance Campaign Setting (WotC)
Age of Mortals Wotc (officially licensed to sovereign stone)

Dangerous Denizens of Tellene (WotC officially licensed monster book to Kenzer Co.)

I think Kenzer has some more officially licensed 3.5 products, such as Salt and Sea Dogs their pirates book.

The licenses for Dragonlance, Kalamar, and Ravenloft bear the D&D logo and are considered official.

For Ravenloft there is the Ravenloft Player's Handbook, the Ravenloft Dungeon Master's Guide, a second edition of their monster book Denizens of Dread (not sure if it is out yet) and at least the latest Gazetteer will have been 3.5.

Of course there are a ton of unofficial 3rd party 3.5 books too.
