Does anyone know where to find Dungeons and Dragons online so one doesn't have buy $30 books or wait for a long period of time and then have them for only 3 weeks at the library? Not neccesary the whole books, but character making with rolls of dice and such...

You'll still need the books if you plan on playing a real game tho

Edit: Just realized that those are 2nd Ed. My personal favorite, but mebbe not what you're lookin' for.

If you want the actual book then you can usually find a cheaper buy on eBay. I've only bought one book from eBay, but there seemed to be a pretty decent selection of D&D books.

Although possibly against copyright laws, one could feasibly find just about anything one wanted on Kazaa Lite

Edit: And btw, the specific book you're probably wanting is the Player's Handbook. It covers character creation, game rules, role-playing basics, etc. The link True_Moose gave you has the 2nd Edition Player's Handbook [img]smile.gif[/img]

The free version of D&D is called "The D20 System". You can find it here: http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/srd.html This doesn't include all the rules from D&D, but it's got all the basics.

I was afraid of that. I read the ToS. Those links are not to warez sites. They are D&D sites easily found on the internet. If WotSC had a problem with them, they probably would have been shut down by now. The existance of Kazaa and other programs like it is common knowledge, and they are not illegal in and of themselves. Hmmm, I'm sounding really defensive here

Anyway, I don't think there is a problem here, but that's up to the moderators to decide.

BTW, Billy you have a really awesome portraits page! I remember that Celtic tv series Roar.. wow that was so cool. Too bad they took it off the air

Do you know if there is some way to buy the series on video?

I didn't bookmark the Roar website, you'll have to try a search engine.

The D20 system is an open system created by WotC. Anyone can use it without paying royalties. The website I posted is totally legal.
