I had a friend in high school find a 1st ed. Monster Manual in the school library. He immediately "lost" it, and paid the $5 fine :-)

It was mint condition except for the stamp the library put on it.

PDFs. I still have all the books, but thanks to ebook rpg groups and such, I have every book and module for every rpg (almost) 1ed thru 3.5 in pdf format. Next time we play, everyone will just bring their laptops and have access to all the books without all the mess. Technology is fun.

Never played though I did own a bunch of rulebooks!

I like this idea in theory, but I feel with my group it would not work. First of all, I like looking prices and feats and such up in a hardback book. Second, I feel like laptops would be a distraction. Finally, it's important for players to not have access to some books, and what are the chances two players are going to need a book at the same time (unless it's the PHB, and most groups have a few of those at least)?

I've been in two games of D&D so far.

Most of my friends are big RPG fanatics, but I'm a newbie, so I don't get invited to play too often. -_-

Luckily my love is running a session over the summer. I'm excited and feel like gushing over my new character, but I promise I won't.

I think all the people in this thread can appreciate this pinnacle of role-playing.

Hmm... I saw that somewhere. Maybe slashdot? Definitely kicks the geekiness up a notch (in a good way). :thumbsup:

Holy fuck. I think I just creamed my pants. Where was that when I gamed?

yea, played 3rd-4th edition.

found the phs/dmg etc on the internet (400 pages or so in word/.txt format) printed them all off at school (dmg, ph, monstrous, and one or two others)

haha, we milked it good.

and we found used copies of said books for like $5 at the local comic book shop.


more people should play.

a few of us, over a summer, were all bored and had nothing to do. (this is a very un-D&D type group) so we decided to play. me having the most experience, DM'd, and we had a blast. whenever people would come over or call us, we always made some excuse and never told anyone what we were doing. sometimes we even snuck away form parties for a smoke (i.e. fight a few last orcs in the garage)

haha it was great. never finished our campaign, still have 3 more high-wizards and a lich-lord controlling a massive horde to fight off. also on the verge of civil war AND invasion of waterdeep. as well as the complete overthrow of neverwinter and candlekeep.

heh.

Ok, so what is Ebberon for? What's the basis?

Ebberon is a "high magic" world, where magic finds use in everyday practices.
It's just a new gaming setting for D&D, like Forgotten Realms.
