Which of your 3.0 Core Rulebooks is Most Worn Out?

[gamecat]

My PHB looks almost like someone used it as a shield while my ex-girlfriend* beat them with her belt... oh, wait, it was.

My DMG is not /that/ thrashed, per se, but it is well busted in.

My MM, not seeing all that much use, is in pristine condition.

Worst off is my DMG since it got accidentally dropped and the covers are coming off because of that, next is my PHB which is still in pretty good shape since I mostly prepare everything at my computer and use a pdf version of the PHB most of the time. Since I put all the monsters in the SRD into a self-designed database including the pictures from the wizards.com art pages my MM is almost in mint condition.

I'll go for the new 3.5 PHB, the rest will be taken from the SRD.

My Player's Handbook is PURPLE!!!

That's right... purple!! How did it get that way you ask? Because I left it sitting out on the backseat of my car for over a week... and the sun bleached the cover. That, and the random tears and pages beginning to fall out mark my PHB for death.

The MM is next in line... with several commonly used pages slipping out of the binding.

DMG is pretty pristine still, I must say.

I pity you.

My MM and DMG are well-used but in good shape; my PHB, however, is a train wreck. I actually ripped the book out of the spine about six months ago, so now its all floppy

Definitely looking forward to a replacement. On another note, the 1st ed. books I own are still in great condition for being 20 years old. Damn shame how flimsy newer books are.

Oh come on, my 1e PHB lost it's spine when I pulled it out of the shelf and I don't want to comment on the wreckage that my softcover 1e MM1 is (more tape than book.) The 2nd printing 1e DMG is of excellent quality though, even better than the 2e Core books.

The spine on my PHB never was in good shape. I've babied that thing since almost day one because of it.

The pages in my MM are warped, almost like they got wet, but damned if I can figure out why they did that.

I'm just hoping for a 3.5E PHB with a slightly better spine than the 3E one I had.

I suppose my PHB is the most worn out of the three, but it's still in very good shape. My MM looks slightly used, and my DMG is pretty much mint (and we play once every 2 weeks for 8 hours like clockwork).

In any case, I won't need to replace any of them for years.

 

[Hygric]

All three of my books are first printing.

My DMG and MM are still in quite good condition, but my poor PHB got a little... stained after we had jelly wrestling at a cocktail party at my place. Tip: if you are going to have jelly wrestling, don't use blue food dye when making the jelly.

 

[Destil]

My PH, like so many others, is nearly falling apart. The spine has seperated in the front, and only the corner of the back cover holds it in place.

The DMG is next, but mainly because it's been abused a bit... (dropped once or twice).

The MM has some sough spots, but is nearly fine (could be because I usualy use print-outs for running games and only use it to make them up).

My PsiHB is pratically mint. Gets a lot of use, too....
