[QUOTE="retem, post: 4181642, member: 65057"] Recently found myself itching to pick up the dice again. I have contacted the "old group" and have one of them commited to coming back. Last time I played was 18 years ago and I was by no stretch a know it all. As we get closer to starting up myself and my other group member have had some questions that we cant seem to get answers on. Wondering if you guys can help us out a little. 1.) Would you suggest we go out and pick up 3.5 and start playing or wait for 4E ? or Should we pick up the "Basic Game" (Saw on Amazon for $29) ? Since it has been so long would the basic game be a good start until 4E? 2.) Is 3.5 single PC Friendly? If noone else from our group comes back we may be stuck with just a DM and PC 3.) Been reading up on 4E and saw that it will come with online tools. This could be a big draw for the other guys. However, I noticed it will come with a "Dungeon Map Tool" for the online gaming table. Will we be able to generate other areas besides Dungeons with this tool? 4.) If we do our work and read up on 3.5 (or 4E) how quickly can someone pick up and play? I know it is not an exact science but just curious to what you think an old 2E player who never played 3.0 or 3.5 will experience. Any other suggestions will be appreciated, thanks for your help. p.s. Are there still Succabus in the MM? Oh how I have missed them :) [/QUOTE]
