[QUOTE="delericho, post: 4589225, member: 22424"] Two questions: 1) Are you dissatisfied with 3.5e in any significant way? If so: 2) Do you wish to continue playing/running games in the D&D mold? If the answer to both of these questions is 'yes' then 4e may well be for you. If not, there's probably not much point. However... While 4e runs just fine with only the three core rulebooks, it feels much more limited than the equivalent 3.5e core does. Frankly, had my group decided to adopt the game (in the end, we felt it wasn't for us), I simply could not envisage us [i]not[/i] adding at least PHB2 and MM2 to the game as soon as they are released. So, if knowing what I now know about the system, if I were going to strictly follow a "3 books only" rule, I would advise staying away. One other thing you might consider, though: you could pick up the Starter Set (or "Keep on the Shadowfell") and try the system out for a small investment cost, and then be in a position to judge whether the game is for you or not. I got the gift set, and it's absolutely fine. In any case, I'm not aware of any difference between those books and the non-gift-set books. So, I'd go for whatever you can get the best deal on.
