This is going to sound really stupid, but I don't know where I can find an [free] online copy of the Dungeons & Dragons rules. I'm looking for the complete rules, 2nd or 3rd edition I guess, including character creation, combat, etc. I checked numerous fan sites but all they had were player submitted optional rules and additions, or abridged bits and pieces of the rules. I even checked the TSR and Wizards of the Coast sites but they wanted me to buy the handbook...
Help a clueless n00bie out

There used to be a few homepages where people had second edition rules posted, but most got ferreted out.
If you find them, I'd be careful linking to them or widely broadcasting their existence, WOTC is pretty fanatic from what I understand in terms of searching down free copies on the net. Your best bet is to do a couple of searches on university bulletin boards which generally tend to fly beneath the radar of WOTC. |

Bummer! Maybe I'll check ebay and see if someone is willing to part with their handbooks

I don't think you will find any for free online...
If you go to a Hobby Store that sells gaming supplies you might be able to find "used" copies of the books much more cheaply than buying new. You will also find the the 3E books are a bit more expensive. "Used" books are generally about 1/2 price. Sometimes even lower. Most of the stores that sell used items are the ones in strip malls. The chain stores sometimes have a small supply of these items. The other thing you could do is look on eBay. ------------------  The line between good and evil is razor sharp. Be careful of misteps, lest you find yourself spitted upon your own blade. |

There are a couple of sites with at least part of the rules, which are here, here, here and here to name a few. I remember a site with a lot of information on ADND but I can't find it anymore
