The compatibility was high enough that I didn't bother, and my players were not optimised enough for the broken spells that got nerfed to break our games. Some of THEM bought the new PHB, and they photocopied the feats they wanted or the classes they wanted to use, and I would let them use them, but that was about it. Eventually I bought the 3.5 corebooks because I saw them for really cheap. In hindsight I wish I had kept my 3.0 corebooks when I moved and downsized. Some day soon I will have to hunt down ebay replacements. 3.5 was a very mixed bag and I'm not sure I would consider it a net improvement - I would imagine 5ev2024 is in a similar space for some of the people who already liked 5e.(Note: That's not to say 3e has no problems I disliked and I'm opposed to change. I just think regarding the design choices of 4e and 5e "the cure is worse than the disease", and would have preferred a fix to 3e go in a very different direction. More GURPSy mechanics, while retaining a more sound D&Dlike marketing strategy and book layout - which is not the games we got).But anyways, you can always keep playing the game you already have.[ATTACH=full]416410[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
