Keeping any 3.0 rules? Grab the SRD while you can

[Davelozzi]

Are you planning on mostly updating to 3.5 but likely to house rule some things back to 3.0?

If so, you might want to grab the 3.0 SRD while you can. Save yourself the trouble of using 2 books or retyping stuff. Just print out the old version of the spell, feat or whatever and slip it into the relevant section of your new book.

Sure you might be able to still find it somewhere after the 18th, but who knows?

In case anyone wasn't already aware, you can download the whole thing in one fell swoop at the bottom of Wizards's SRD page.

Already have it - the good version, that is, before they removed mind flayers and stuff, and turned the who darned thing into the damnable .RTF format.

One of these days, I may spring for Anna Dobritt's PDF hyperlinked version of the 3.0 SRD.

Which doesn't include mind flayers, of course. However, if you have Acrobat, then I suppose you could put them back into your own copy. As long as you didn't distribute it, you wouldn't be violating WotC's copyright.

Great suggestion! Thank you, Davelozzi.

I've got questions that are somewhat related to this, and instead of posting an entire new thread about it, I'll just ask them here (due to the numerous 3.5 topics).

• Does anyone know for sure if the 3.0 SRD still be available from the Open Gaming Foundation?
• Does anyone know for sure if Wizards still keep the 3.0 SRD and 3.0-related errata and FAQ guides?

I'm pretty sure that these were asked on these message boards before, so sorry for seeming like a broken records.

Cheers!

Just a tip, you don't necessarily need to purchase Acrobat to make PDF files.

The new version of OpenOffice allows you to export/save your documents in PDF format. (It's new in the 1.1 version which is currently beta, although I've been using it for months without issue.)

And for those who don't know, OpenOffice is a slick free alternative to Microsoft Office, and is compatible with it's formats.

If you do intend to download it all note that for some reason basic character classes I is not in the big all in one zip. It's possible that tere are other's missing two, it's just that that was one of the ones I was looking for after I downloaded it.

WotC said quite a while ago they will leave the 3.0 SRD up and run the 3.5 SRD along side it.
