The current edition is version 3.5, most frequently abbreviated as "v.3.5." The current core rules set is still found in the <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndcore/175240000" target="_blank">Player's Handbook</a>, <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndcore/177520000" target="_blank">Dungeon Master's Guide</a>, and <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndcore/177550000" target="_blank">Monster Manual</a>.<img src="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ph35med.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/dmg35med.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><img src="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/mm35med.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndcore/175240000" target="_blank">Player's Handbook</a><a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndcore/177520000" target="_blank">Dungeon Master's Guide</a><a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndcore/177550000" target="_blank">Monster Manual</a>Learn More About v.3.5 If you are interested in learning more about v.3.5 of the D&D game, we suggest that you read the compiled <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rsa/archive" target="_blank">D&D</a><a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rsa/archive" target="_blank"> Revision Spotlight archive</a> (an archive of a series of web articles that came out introducing v.3.5). A Brief History of the Rules Editions The Dungeons & Dragons game was first published in 1974 as three small booklets in a box. In 1978, the 1st edition of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) was published as larger-format hardcover books (the original Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual), followed in 1989 by 2nd edition AD&D. In 2000, the game shed the "Advanced" from its title and reunified under the name of its birth. Third edition Dungeons & Dragons (sometimes casually referred to as "3E") provided a revitalization and far-reaching revision to the rules system. This latest version of the rules, v.3.5, is compatible with 3rd edition D&D, but incorporates revisions and updates based on player feedback.What does that last sentence say?   Yes, they said this... along with what I posted above, where they clearly state the two editions are compatible.  No, they show that words are tricky things and I want clarification as opposed to assuming they mean what I want or think they mean... apparently like some people are more than happy to do. In the end it boils down to the fact that it's not your place to police whose opinions and motivations are valid and whose aren't... since it could easily be said that we've heard your "You should just accept WotC statements blindly" opinion just as much, if not more than the opposing view.</blockquote>
