Changed its mind? How so? The Rules Compendium has been planned for about a year now, announced about the same time as the Spell Compendium and the Magic Item Compendium. They're still going forward with what they have planned, WotC has NOT changed its mind... silly rant! “After spamming the web with “4e will kick buttocks” articles and videos, WotC has changed its mind – edition 3.5 ain’t that bad and they’re still tweaking the rules.”

Of course even that's not enough to make me buy it, I'm switching, and I'm not going back.

Rick Mercer was right.. Anyway, personally, I think it's a great idea. Having one book to work with can really make things more convenient, and let's GMs have a book of their own while passing around the DMG and PHB to players. I am one of those "not excited" for 4e. After watching that whole thing on the website where someone attempted public speaking was painful at best. I'll be the first to admit that DnD could be a lot better - Armour Class is silly, as is the need for magic to advance properly and not break the system. When I first heard they were coming out with 4e, I did get excited - really excited. I thought finally that WoTC was going to make something truly customizable for the GMs - and then I got the reality smack down. Anyway, if WoTC makes money on this 3.5 rules compendium thing, more power to them. There will always be people who will buy it (or download it). Cheers! T. Did you say Igloo country? *Sigh*..

Much like the D&D Rules Cyclopedia of Yore, the new Cyclopedia is a goodbye Book for those who won't make the jump to 4e. You can say what you want of WotC's business practice, this book will probably be purchased by the naysayers. I'm still on the 4e bandwagon, even though I stopped reading about it so I can focus on my current and quite possibly last 3.5 game... I’m with Dave on this one Yax.

I’m still on the 4e bandwagon, even though I stopped reading about it so I can focus on my current and quite possibly last 3.5 game…
