What D&D 3.5E releases are you most looking forward to?

[bwgwl]

Hmm... Wouldn't count on that...

yep. WOTC has said that all three revised core rulebooks would be 320 pages long.

the current PHB is 286 pages = 34 extra pages
the current DMG is 256 pages = 64 extra pages
the current MM is 224 pages = 96 (!) extra pages

now i know more pages doesn't necessarily equate with more fundamental changes in the book. (for example, i assume the revised MM will use the slightly larger font-size found in the MM2, and this'll eat up quite a bit of page real estate).

but i wouldn't count on all the major changes in 3.5 being in the Player's Handbook!

I'm interested in the DM's guide, so I hope the new pages are more than just a larger font!

 

[Merlion]

The fact that each monster has a full page entry in the revised MM os probably also a big contributor to all those extra pages.

 

[Angcuru]

I'm looking forward to the Slayers Guide to LVL 1 Wizards, written and published by an unnamed Kobold.

 

[TroyXavier]

I want most of them. I'm not familiar with the Ghostwalk one.
I do know the MM will have pictures of all creatures in it.

 

[doctorjeff98]

I also don't know much about the Ghost one. I do enjoy horror games, movies, etc.

Ghostwalk

A Dungeons & Dragons Campaign
Monte Cook & Sean K Reynolds

Item Code 885660000; Release Date June 2003; Format Hardcover; Page Count 224; ISBN 0-7869-2834-4; Price $34.95, C$48.95.

The city of Manifest rests atop ruins from ancient times and far above the entrance to the land of the dead. Here, the world of the living is shared equally with the deceased, who linger in physical form before finally passing through the Veil. Whether currently living or dead, residents and visitors are assured of an eternity of action and intrigue.

Ghostwalk contains everything needed to run a stand-alone campaign in and around the city of Manifest, or to integrate it into an existing world, including rules for playing ghost characters and advancing in the new eidolon and eidoloncer classes, several new prestige classes, over 70 new feats and 65 new spells, three complete adventures, four highly detailed encounter sites, and fourteen new monsters and templates.

Maybe I should have voted for this instead of the DM's guide. Sounds very interesting to me. Although, nothing beats a good DM/GM guide.

Exactly. And the DMG's extra pages sound like a lot of reorganization, clarification and addition of material we've already seen elsewhere.

Of course, I'll be getting all three, but I don't expect a whole lot of change from the DMG or MM compared to the PHB.

I share the same general opinion as Joshua, however, the ones that most interest me currently are the new MM and the Underdark book.
