[QUOTE="Arbiter of Wyrms, post: 2952899, member: 18021"] Buy more books. Don't revert to 3.0. Leave the 3.0 books with your friends at home and let them go out and buy their own 3.5 books when they see how bad it would be to go back to an earlier, lesser form of the game. Tell your folks that you plan to take up drinking and "self exploration" because you don't have another set of D&D books at university with which to run games. Buy PDF copies of the core books from RPGnow. Get the university library to buy copies of the core books. Buy Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved and play that while your at the university instead of D&D and play D&D while you're home on break. Take your 3.0 MM and DMG with you and your 3.5 PHB. Let the home group chip in together for a 3.0 PHB. Tell their parents that they plan to take up drinking while you're away and that you've encouraged them to call them when they're too drunk to drive, since you'll be at school engaged in study and D&D. There are lots of other fun things to do while you are in college. During your upper-division work, you'll be too busy for those things, and during your lower-division years, you'll be too young/socially unconnected/worried about adhering to local statutes to do any of those things. I've head of undergraduates who blew off prepping for finals to prepare PC background so they could stay in the running to join a good D&D game. D&D is wholesome, engaging, safe, and affordable. Get out and do other stuff too while you're in school, but don't give up your hobby and certainly don't compormise it with outmoded rules. Remember the 3.0 ranger? Haste? Polymorph? You'd have to houserule it to the point of playing 3.5. [/QUOTE]
