I just bought a Chinese Language 3.5 PHB

Post by papercut »

It cost about $30 (original price $50) and included a nice little black bag plus a set of dice ($10 value woot).

I was surprised to find that it had the collector's edition cover in matte cardboard. Anyone else want a Chinese 3.5 PHB?

Cheers

That sounds cool.

(dun question) is it shorter? since the language can "hold' more meaning per character? (to my admittedly limited knowledge)

Yes, I would definitely be interested in seeing what a copy looks like. One of my buddies might be interested in a copy. Thanks for the info papercut.

Turns out the PHB is the only 3.5 book published, but it appears there are more for 3.0. GG WOTC, you not only killed the domestic game market with 3.5 but also the international!

I do wonder, did the publishers change the descriptions of the various races, abilities, classes or spells? For example, are Humans still described as versatile and capable of different kinds of personalities? Are Barbarians still in?

((I ask because the government is infamous for "harmonizing" all sorts of media, thus fueling the demand for pirate / bootleg products))

I keep imagining it reading something like:

"Chairman Mao insists that all workers to the glorious ends of the game, roll abilities this way..."

I can tell you that any skeletons you might found out there will have flesh on them.

I'd have to say that, if the price was right, I'd consider it too. You just don't see that sort of thing everyday.
