[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 504858, member: 8461"] Just adding my two cents to the chorus here. Despite having posted some reservations on the other thread about this, Im pretty excited about these new books. The way I see it, a book with errors that never get corrected is bad, a book with errors that gets an errata sheet is cumbersome but useful, and a book that eventually gets reprinted with all the errors fixed is probably the best. As someone who bought all the v3.0 core books, Im somewhat miffed about having to spend $90 again, but really, it'll be worth it, it really will, since carry around stapled errata that half the time gets forgotten is worse for running a game. On personal points of note, I do want to see new art for monsters (whoever said to please feed that poor displacer beast, you had it right on!). The Tarrasque, for example, looked so much more ridiculous than it had previously. I like the art for the PCs now however. I've had enough "traditional fantasy" to last me a lifetime, keep the alternatives! The bit with miniatures however does not sit well with me. I want to spend my money on books, not minis. Once you start buying those things, you can't ever stop, since eventually you want to quit using that same old orc mini for ever goblinoid encounter, or you have more characters on the battlesheet than you have minis. The fact that I don't like and am not good at painting is no help either. That said, I plan on buying the books as soon as they premier. I'm guessing it'll be at GenCon (c'mon, a July release, GenCon in July, its obviouss). I always plan out where I want to go first when the Exhibit Hall opens and always stand at the front of the crowd, running in as soon at the gate is up. Looks like I know where I'll be headed this year! :D [/QUOTE]
