[QUOTE="M8, post: 5446041, member: 6669161"] Hi! My First Post here. :) I'm looking on some advice. I have the old d&d4 core books, and I'm not sure what the "current state" of d&d4 is. I used to play AD&D2, a few of it's clones, D&D3 and some other "old" games, like Call of Cuthullu, Pendragon, Warhammer RPG etc. But I haven't played P&P RPG's for almost 10 years now. I have decided that in the next half year or so, I would like to cut back on my PC use (reading online articles, forum trolling, playing games, youtube-ing, watching movies etc.) but instead [B]write down some RPG material I have in my head[/B] on paper. I wanted to do something like this for years now, and I hope my recent job changes will allow me to do just that. I have been reading rpg materials, going through reviews, watching forums etc, and I've decided to "number crunch" my thoughts in D&D4 (which at first look I like very much), but if I understand it correctly, D&D4 had some recent changes. So I would like to ask some questions, before I embark on my journey to scribble some nonsense onto paper. :) [B]01. Is it true that the core 3 books (PHB, DMG and MM1-2) are kinda outdated and the online erratas aren't updated any more? 02. Is it true that the MM3 has a new format that changes monster stats significantly? Making MM 1&2 outdated? (Making MM3 D&D4.1?) 03. Is it true that the new essential books outdate the old core books? Making it D&D4.5 basically?[/B] Lastly: [B]04. I have the old d&d4 core books (not the deluxe edition or the essentials), if I'd like to publish (online, in a blog or something) my ideas, would my "work" be usable by someone with MM3 (4.1) or the essentials (4.5)?[/B] [/QUOTE]
