[QUOTE="Ranger REG, post: 1763072, member: 533"] But what is that going to accomplish? How many game companies you know have provided updates from the old to the new editions and does so with success? I recalled WotC made a 3.5e update of the [i]Forgotten Realms,[/i] but I don't know whether it is the title ([i]Player's Guide to Faerun[/i]) or the content themselves but it was being razzed by many of the gamers on Wizards' board (not counting those here). I tried defending it but I'm clearly in the minority. AFAIK, among the many [i]Star Wars[/i] gamers on this board and Wizards', we are more than happy with the RCR and willing to drop $40 because they [i]listened[/i] to our feedback about the OCR and did something about it. Sure, there was a few stoopid loudmouths with the social skill equivalent of a bull in a china shop (whose primary language is based around "you suck!"), but they listened to the mature gamers that want the product improved. That and the fact that I doubt Lucasfilm would let them. After all, it IS a LucasBook. The attitude for [i]D&D[/i] revision, as opposed to [i]Star Wars,[/i] is that majority is okay with the 3e rules as is. Granted, the 3.5e rules made some slight improvement but the fanbase are not ready for a rules revision to come out three years after the original 3e rules. That's why I put off buying 3.5e [i]D&D[/i] until 2005. Of the many business decisons WotC made, this one perplexed me (that and the inclusion of [i]Rokugan[/i] in the new [i]OA[/i] -- instead of [i]Kara-Tur[/i] -- but that's another story). But because [i]D&D[/i] is WotC's own acquired IP, and is the "flagship" of the [i]d20 System[/i] products, they have provided 3.5e [b]System Reference Document[/b] for free. You want to know what change in this one? Download the 3.5e SRD [url]www.wizards.com/d20[/url] Well, I'm not ready to let go of my OCR, even though I have my RCR. Check eBay. If your group doesn't want to use the revised rules, then that's okay. I know of some people not ready for 3e after having invested in 1e and 2e. Well, if you ignore the gunbunnies about how [i]d20 Modern[/i] handles the firearms rules, then you're in the clear. There are also other criticisms but I will spare this thread the details. Then that's okay. Well, until someone show me a different approach that actually work and I like it, skill-n-feat is still #1 in my book. [/QUOTE]
