It still sits somewhere in my closet collecting dust. The only think that I found useful was the battle grid poster. I got it lamenated and I use for battles and easy mapping when I DM. ---I haven't read this entire thread, so I apologize if I repeat somethings over again. What D&D needs attract new players is a simplified version of the rules that's easy to understand, with cool miniatures (Think Hero Quest or Warhammer Quest), character generation that takes 15 min or less, and a "layered" system--kind of like with Basic D&D, you added on rules when you felt like it. The rules weren't so intergrated with each other (example: synergy bonuses for skills). When it comes down to it, people just want to play.One thing that's really a turn off to D&D 3.5 is it takes awhile to create a character. And I've noticed players just want to tweek their characters so that they're powerful. Now, I don't see anything wrong what, it just takes awhile for that to happen. Another thing is that I get sick and tired of arguing about Attacks of Opportunity and watching players try to calculate the best thing to do in a battle. It's all numbers now, it seems, and no magic. When I play D&D, I want to experience a different world, fight gruesome monsters and partake in a great story--and I want to do that ASAP when I sit down at the table. My motto is "Just Play!"</blockquote>
