I probably will not spend any money on these reprints.  Although, it would be very cool to have the three 3.5 D&D core books with all the errata included; especially with the knowledge that no new errata is forthcoming. ;)

Thinking on this; if I had to pick a "version" of 3rd edition I preferred (and lord knows I don't much care for either one) I'd honestly say 3e rather than 3.5 just based on 3e's presentation.  The 3.5e DMG is dull, dull, dull.  When I checked out a 3rd edition DMG it seemed to at the very least have some ... verve? to it.  3.5 is fantasy stereo instructions.

I'm sure I'll pass on this either way as 3.x is my least favorite edition.

I'll for sure pass, as well, but man, can we please have some 2e and some Rules Cyclopedia!?

A Rules Cyclopedia reprint would sell like hotcakes.

Hmm, I might be the only weirdo who'd rather see all the BECM booklets republished in one big box than the Rules Cyclopedia!

Well, in reality, what I'd really like to see is the Rules Cyclopedia formatted to include the art from the boxed sets.

Replace BECM with Moldvay/Cook/Marsh B/X in one box and I'm sold.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

I think I would like a BECMI or a Moldvay reprint...but the thing is, you can still get dead-tree versions of S&W and LL, can't you? And they even have nice covers.

Sure, and LL is what I use currently.  I can say without shame that I'd buy a BECM reprint solely for the nostalgia.  Nostalgia isn't always a bad thing.

The B&N links to these alleged "3.5E" books don't work anymore.

Doing a search for WotC titles on B&N, these three titles don't show up at all anymore.

A hoax all along?

I don't know, but the Amazon prices for 3.5 books are outrageous. Sellers charging $480 for a "new" core rulebook slipcase set? If I knew anyone might pay for them at that price I should have bought a few for $60 back then and tucked them away for investment purposes.

I'm not interested in a 3.5 reprint since I have Pathfinder. But an RC? Not even a question.

Quote from: 1989;534142Give me my 2e reprints!!!! YES! Make it happen!!!

Lucky for me, I have multiple copies of my 2e stuff.  Too bad I can't find anyone to play with around here.  My gaming group prefers other games (WFRP 1e, Compact Heroes, etc) than AD&D 2e.
