Summary: Third Time's the Charm
Comment: I first played Dungeons & Dragons over twenty years ago. Although I fell out of role playing games some seven or so years ago, I kept tabs on what was going on as an outsider. Then, in August of 1999 I heard that a Third Edition of my all time favorite role playing game was being produced. Like many others I followed the news on its progression and development over the past year. The more I heard, the more I got excited.
Now, the Third Edition Player's Handbook has been released and I am not disappointed. I was hoping to return to my role playing days and upon reviewing the contents of the first Core Rule Book, not only am I back -- I feel welcomed. Nearly everything about the new edition is appealing. The actual mechanics of the centralized d20 system should make fans of veteran gamers and new players alike.
The actual design of the Player's Handbook is rather quite striking as well. While personal taste is a matter of opinion, the effort here to create and establish a "mood" for the role playing game has not been overlooked.
So, it appears that I am back into Dungeons & Dragons, maybe for another twenty plus years. And, if the Player's Handbook is any indication of the quality of the "new" D&D, I won't be taking another sabbatical from playing. I have "Returned to the Dungeon".

Summary: Incredible achievement, a must-buy for any gamer
Comment: I've been playing D&D since it came out, and it seems that each version gets better and better. The Third Edition is definitely a large step forward, based on the experience of thousands of RPers. The Player's Handbook in particular is incredible useful both for brand new gamers as well as experienced RPers looking for an updated rule set.
The artwork and layout of this book is FANTASTIC. It's amazing to compare this with some of the earliest books and realize how far things have come. The rich colors, great illustrations, easy to understand tables ... everything was done with the highest level of quality.
The rules themselves have been streamlined to the point where the game is easy, fun, consistant, and realistic. No more arbitrary rules 'just because'! Characters can now be customized and gameplay is very balanced.
Even level advancement and spells have been overhauled to give more options and to keep things simple.
As an additional bonus, the book comes with a demo version of a character generator! There are also a Character Record sheet to copy and use, a glossary, equipment charts, and much, much more.
I recommend this without hesitation to any gamer out there. If you can, buy a copy for yourself today. If you don't have the money, put it on your wish list for the holidays!

Summary: 3.0 is STILL better than 3.5
Comment: I wouldn't listen to anyone that claims the "new and improved" 3.5 is any bit "new and improved".
3.0 is truly the right blend of D&D tradition and sound game mechanics. 3.5 is a pile of garbage house-rules for actual D&D crafted by a new batch of "limited" designer minds.
This book is D&D 3rd edition, no other.
