My players are only familiar with 4e, but they're good learners. I just personally don't care for 4e much, it feels too generic compared to how i remember 3.5. Just rolling dice with no real sense of immersion behind it.I'm planning on grabbing all the core books now and I was looking at 3.5, 3.0 and AD&D. Unfortunately, I'm on a limited budget so i have a concern or two with each3.5: I like 3.5 but the books are pretty darn expensive. Most places want at least $35 for the PHB used and i find that ridiculous.3.0: The books are significantly cheaper, but I don't want to run it if it has major drawbacks to 3.5 (i know the classes like ranger were rebalanced etc)AD&D: The uncle of one of my players may have all his old AD&D books lying around, so it's free, bt i know nothing about it or how it compares to the other versions.I'd just like to know what everyone thinks would be best for me to run and if paying the extra is worth itthanks,Yawny</blockquote>
