Message: <blockquote data-quote="DDK" data-source="post: 623004" data-attributes="member: 6469">I remember when I first heard of the new AD&D (3rd ed.) rules that were supposedly totally revamped and reworked to reflect modern gaming preferences.I scoffed at this and went happily back to my beautifully complex, and yet thoroughly detailed down to listing his best friend as an ally, GURPS character.Then I went over to a gamer friend's house and he was ranting and raving about something called '3rd ed'. I was like, "Oh, AD&D, blurgh, yet another handbook, eh?" and then he showed me the PHB.It was then that I had, for only the second time in my life, a divine revelation (it would offend Eric's Grandma for me to detail the first <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ): this would be the edition to end all others!Suffice it to say, the book impressed me and I wanted it. Being poor, I saved up but my best mate ended up buying it for my b'day so we immediately got stuck into making up characters.Now I'm firmly embedded as a 3rd ed. fan. A lot of people seem to think that 3rd ed. is popular because it is popular. However, I prefer it because I honestly think it's the best option for me. It gives enough detail so that I can make the character I want without bogging me down and creating a slow playing game.Anyway, it seems to me that there is a lot of trepidation about the up and coming revision. That's understandable however for once in my life I'm finding myself on the PRO side of things. Personally, I can't friggin' wait. I want the damn thing to be out NOW <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Although I won't purchase it right away, for fear of Demon Princes Ty'po and Err'ata, if the general consensus of the people is that they're relatively fiend-free, I'll be snapping up all three ASAP.So I was wondering who else is in this camp. Are you going to purchase the revised books?</blockquote>
