D&D 3E/3.5 Player's Handbook 3.5 now available as a PDF

Yay! The core rulebooks are finally starting to appear on the DNDClassics site. And it looks like the PDF is the file used for the 2012 "premium" reprint, which is also good news.

Damn, you beat me to the punch. What are the differences between the premium reprint and the old version?

So for those who want to pick these 3.5 pdfs up, are you still running 3.5? Never switched to PF? something else?

 

[Celestian]

Good, I've been waiting for 1e and 2e PHB/DMG very impatiently.

 

[Torg Smith]

Yeah, I hope 2E is next. I want the PHB, MM, and DMG.

I am running a 3.5-ish game. I have included a handful of Pathfinderisms, plus some house rules of my own, but it is mostly 3.5.

I'm actually seeing it as $9.99 in my cart and therefore snagging it immediately.

Yeah, never switched to PF - I felt it was an improvement, but not "better enough" to sacrifice my built up system mastery in 3.5e. And I wasn't a fan of 4e.

That said, after my last 3.5e I'm pretty much burnt out on the system, and I do like what I've seen of 5e, so I may never run 3.5e again. And besides, I prefer real books anyway.

I'm not running 3.5 right now but I'm designing new campaign material with it and hope to be running a new game soon, probably online. I never switched to PF; I didn't see the point. "If you like 3.5, play this instead," doesn't really compute for me, although I've read a lot of PF and think it is very good.

I like 5e enough that I'll happily play it or DM it but it hasn't convinced me to make it my primary system, so this is great news. I'll be picking up this and the other core books when they come out.

My group is about to start a new campaign using 3.5. We have played both Pathfinder and 5E, but still enjoy 3.5 more at this point.

My sentiments, exactly. [....Wait for it...] Done! Snagged it! Woot!

 

[Agamon]

Yeah, I hope 2E is next. I want the PHB, MM, and DMG.

I will, too, as long as they're the originals, not the black cover reprints. Seeing what we got for the recent dead tree reprints, though, I'm doubting that's what we'll get.
