... straightforward as you just roll the dic and add any bonuses you have. Very easy to remember. The allocating of bonuses is now based on a smooth and coherrent system. Combat works more fluidly, and there is more scope for degree of failure or sucess. Character Classes: in the 2nd edition, there were basic character classes - Fighter, Ranger, Wizard, Priest, Rogue. You could get seperate packs for things like swashbucklers, barbarians, druids and the like but there wasn't much scope. Your character class det...more

The new edition of Dungeons and Dragons - it's third incarnation, marks a significant change to the mechanics, but has not deviated from the original spirit of the game. Every change seems to be an improvement. As a player of this new system I have had plenty of opportunity to test the new player's handbook, and I like what I find. The premise of the system: Dungeons and Dragons allows you to run high fantasy games. The core books do not provide you with settings - you could use ones that you know of, invent your own or use the packs - such as Dark Sun and DragonLance.

Well, 3rd Edition is here an it was well worth the wait. There are quite a few differences to 2nd Edition, and long-time players of 2nd Ed may find these slightly confusing.

Although this is slightly more difficult, the Character Generator on the C.D. provided with the book is very useful. The second printing of this book contains some extras in the back, but these can be downloaded from the Wizards of the coast website for anyone who rushed out and bought the 1st printing (like me). ...

Dugeons & Dragons Third Edition Player's Handbook: Great! At Last! (108 words)

I am the President of my University RPG Society and they love this game. There are 3 separate versions running at the moment that I know of and they all think it is great! I own all of the main books for it at the moment and intend to gather more. Buy it, especially if you are tired of AD+D 2. It will bring life back to a tired campaign! ... Read the complete review
