All 3.5, all the time

[Tom Cashel]

Can we have a whole now forum for 3.5 threads?

That way we'll have lots of room for people to argue about things that haven't been released, the details of which are not yet known, degenerating into name-calling and related silliness.

Sound good?

With R3E out soon, I don't think this will be worth it now.

Knight Otu's post gave me a better idea:

A "3.5 forum" for those who dislike the new edition.

An "R3E" forum for new edition supporters.

"You gotta keep 'em separated."

what is r3e?

what is r3e?

"revised 3rd edition

 

[Hand of Evil]

Thought the R was for Rhubarb

"revised 3rd edition

A more appropriate title than 3.5 IMO. Pity WOTC started that 3.5 nonsense -- now we're stuck with it.

Are you implying that I'm a supporter?

I believe this may have been brought up once or twice befoer (it just sounds very familiar)... and I think the response from Morrus/mods was to see how big the demand for it became. I.e. were the D&D rules forums flooded with [3.5] (or [r3e] if you were) tagged threads drowing out the 3.0 threads, etc...

If they do actually do this though, a 3.0 (rather than a 3.5) forum may be more appropriate since it is the 3.5 edition that is going to be continued to be supported by WotC through sage advice, etc. so that may be better kept in the D&D Rules forum...

anyway, bottom line, for now I'd say just keep using [3.0] or [3.5 / r3e] tags and let the threads follow their natural progression and if it becomes needed through use then the forum would get a split...

(just my ramblings)
