Revised Books: 320 Pages, $50 US? Um, Maybe $30...

[ColonelHardisson]

Good point. I'm hoping the new bits are posted on the internet or something.

I thought we were informed that the revised SRD would be released at the same time as the revised books? Am I mistaken, and thinking of the d20 Modern SRD?

$90.00 USD = $154.64 AUD

and the rest i'd imagine...

There is still the issue of paying $30 for something that you already have much of.

Just buy the new book when your current book is looking gunky. Or, you could give your curent, soon to be gunky book to a potential gamer or even keep it as a lender. Either way you are not really losing all of the cash.

I personally will buy the PHB and not the others. The others can wait a good long time.

no you're not, A. Valterra said that the SRD would be updated on the day...

 

[HellHound]

Yes, Colonel. Someone (I can't remember who) from WotC posted that the revised SRD would be released on the same day as the revised rules.

You know... with 25% new material, that seems to me as if the difference between 3.0 and 3.1 will be greater than the difference between 1.0 and 2.0.

Unless that 25% is just DM advice and Bardic fashion options.

i think that it's 25% that will be new as core, as opposed to new altogether... and we know that they're going to be adding things like PrCs and skill uses from the splatbooks.

 

[Xarlen]

And if we allready own all the splatbooks, then I guess we get The Shaft.

 

[ColonelHardisson]

Thanks, Olive and hellhound. I had a feeling I was right about that, especially given the impact such a revision will have on such a large segment of the industry. In essence, then - there is no reason for concern. No one who doesn't want to buy the revised books will have to buy them. They'll get the revisions via the SRD for free. If they want to know exactly what was changed, they can ask on message boards like these.

I'm not encouraging piracy here, but reprinting books that have 75% content from the original and some unknown percentage of material found in the splat books (that a lot of people already own) is the kind of thing that tempts otherwise lawful folks to download copies of these puppies for free.

Hmm, ninety percent content I already have, same price as I paid for the original 3E book... looks like a 10x price increase to me.
