Are you going to buy the revised edition books?

[DDK]

I'll definitely be buying the PHB. I reserve judgement on the DMG, but if the item creation rules are much improved I'll probably kick in there. I doubt I will buy the new MM.

I will for two reasons.

The first is a minor but important one which is that they will be changing the formatting of the statblocks to be easier to reference; something which I think is in sore need of doing.

That, and I've heard there will be more artwork. I love artwork. Nothing conveys the true look of all the weird and wonderful monsters in this game as well as a good piece of art. In fact... I'd even consider buying a seperate book that ONLY had artwork in it, especially if it was of monsters that didn't have their own pics in the MM.

I will most likely buy them. However, I will not do so on the release date. Rather, I will wait for reviews and discussion right here on enworld before I make the decision.

I own two copies of the PHB, and they are often lent out to the players in the group. By the time the revised verison comes out, they will need to be replaced. The players in my group were going to buy their own copies, until I saw that the revised editions would be printed, and I told them to hold off.

The DMG and MM are probably/maybe, pending the reviews.

I don't think the changes will be big enough for me to bother buying.

Seeing that I still haven't bought myself the Core books (there are only two people out of four in my group who have the corebooks, and only the other has much in addition to that), it might be about time to buy them when the revised ones come out.

Sign me up for all 3. Even if I wanted to I couldn't resist buying them for long. I think it'll be worth it, tho so I'm not too worried.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Probably all three. When is another question, though.

 

[Wormwood]

Yes, I'm buying them all.

I predict that any changes in 3.5 will be minor at best---mostly rules clarifications with a *few* balance issues addressed.

 

[nopantsyet]

okay, i haven't bought five random books out of enthusiasm, but i will buy them in the first print run so i took the psycho answer.

 

[haiiro]

I will be buying all three of them. If there are as many minor errors as there were in the first print run of the PHB, I'll buy a second PHB a few months after that -- I like having two on hand anyway.

If they're as slick as some of the later books (d20 CoC comes to mind), I'll be thrilled.

There should have been a choice to use the new SRD without buying the hardcovers. I hope they are giving out a few free ones at Origins this year. That's how I got my revised Star Wars hardcover. I'll give away my old copies of any new books I win at Origins.
