Unless you plan not to convert to 4th edition, is there any logical reason to pick up any of the books that Wizards of the Coast is putting out in the months leading up to 4th? I picked up Exemplars of Evil and thumbed through it, thought to myself "why bother?" and then put it down on the shelf and left my FLGS.
Even if I was sticking with 3.5, I'd just wait for these books to go to the bargain bin...
Is anyone buying these books?
Yes, I use the 3.5 books for toilet paper when I run out. At about a $1.00 a page it is expensive, but gets the $@#& off your @$%. Thats about all they are good for.
Actually, I'd argue that they're not really good at doing that.
Here's a good place to start: ILLEGAL.You can read them for free at Borders Books. Just bring your laptop along with you and you can type in notes too. Hell, bring a scanner with you.
Wow, that was immature...not even sure where to start.
Bah...forget it...just grow up.
Yup. No one here would dream of doing anything illegal like this would they? No one here's ever downloaded PDFs from Limewire.
Get off the moral high ground. I think it was an attempt at humour anyway.

Well, I was at a game store this weekend for the minis pre-release and paged through Exemplars of Evil. It was actually pretty good. The Rules Compendium is probably a good capstone 3.5 product. I would like to get Exemplars of Evil at a good price without giving WotC any money. This means that I pretty much have to get it second hand from Ebay. At this point, the price hasn't dropped enough for me to do this. So I wait.
how the heck do you update dice to 4.0?
I have recently purchased both Exemplars of Evil and the Rules Compendium. I would recommend both w/o batting an eye. IMy only complaint is, that for the price they should have been thicker. The Rules Compendium is fantastic IMHO. It was exactly what I was needing. I havent read completely through it yet and I'm sure there are still a few questions I had that it wont answer but it got is very well done, well organized and the index is great. Kudos to the crew for that one.
I'm going to pick up the Rules Complendium to round out my 3.5 collection. I really enjoyed the spell compendium and Magic item compendium, and hope the rules compendium is of the same sort of product.
The rest of the products can take a long walk off a short plank. I'm in stasis until 4th edition hits.
The last WotC D&D3.x book I got was Rules Compendium.
However, the books I plan on getting will be DCCs, the GamesMastery modules and flipmaps, KenzerCo's KoK, and a few of Mongoose's Slayer's Guides.
I had thought that Necromancer Games' The Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps would be my last book for D&D3.x. I was wrong. So wrong.
