Mmmm ... new book smell

[GravyFingerz]

Nah...

While the WotC new book smell is NICE... NOTHING is as good smelling as the EverQuest RPG books. The process they used to print them makes them smell different than any other RPG book I've ever bought. I finally went to talk to the printer that printed them (at Origins) to ask THEM why they smell so good, and she explained the printing process involved and how she also loves the smell of those books.

I have to agree with you there, those books have a beautiful aroma

Did any of you lucky folks get a Conversion Guide with your books?

Wow so many people with the book smell fetish... People always made fun of me for cracking a book and taking a big whiff.

Any thoughts on the politics or economics of 3.5 are swept away when the postman hands you a heavy parcel, which you rip open, crack open the new books and get that aroma of new books - a familiar scene across the UK this morning I'm sure.

Now which one to read first

BTW There's a great picture of elven chain in the DMG

Congrats! Amazon.com is about to ship my MM and DMG, but not the PHB

Yeah, just went to the local gaming store and there all there. Has the SRD been updated to match, when I looked it looked the same.
