Such a helpful video I keep coming back to. I just found a secondary bookstore near has recently acquired a large 3.5 collection for me to go through and select from. Thanks for this great vid!
I used to have every 3.5 book and module (first party) as well as tons of 3rd party stuff. I sold them all and go with pdfs now because it's a million times more convenient. Also, the books are crazy expensive nowadays.
I always thought a great monster to add would be, "Time Knights". Essentially they ars summoned by a Wizard Spell summoning a Knight bearing a great sword. A small lantern cage hangs behind the night, and a key is around the knights neck. A small orb is locked in the cage, and if the cage is opened the orb leaves the cage causing time to freeze upon the surrounding area. Until the orb is placed back into the cage time remains frozen. Only Time Weapons from another time works for damaging the knights.
My fav is the libris mortis, i mean i make a campain based in Medievil, 15 lv characters after they defeat the evil wizard, are resureccted years later as undead because the EW returns and conquer the land.
I just discovered these buyers guides of yours and they are really outstanding! There are SO many 3.5 books and I thought I'd mention a few more WOTC 3.5 books I picked up that might also have been on this list. The first is the "Book of Vile Darkness", which has got to be WOTC unique for its adult theme, with illustrations of demons, devils, brutal dismemberments, torture and female nudity. It is a sourcebook for base evil in D&D campaigns. Then there are three more much more mundane campaign sourcebooks, and those are "Sandstorm", "Frostburn", and "Stormwrack", that detail wilderness settings in desert, arctic, and ocean environments, respectively.
Book of Vile Darkness is a decent book, but I felt it was a little too niche to include in this particular video, also they really messed up the art on Demogorgon giving him Hyena heads. I am also missing Sandstorm and Frostburn from my collection, hopefully I'll find them someday
I would like to get the 3.5 reprints since they updated the errata. There is more material for 3.5 than I remember coming out, I like these types of books that build the system up and add meat to the core. Played some good adventures in the system when it first came out, and still own the books from when they came out in stores. Pathfinder(3.75) then came out, I played for a while, but faded back into AD&D and other game systems.
Hey Draven! Great video as always :-) what are your feelings about libris mortis vs open grave? I just got open grave recently and i wanted to know :-) thanks and continue the good work ;-)
I love the rules compendium. Clears up some of the vagueness I’m the Phb and dmg.
Keep it up. Content is really rich and informative. Channel highly underrated. Don't stop.
Thank you, that means a lot to me
DravenSwiftbow I'm also a metal jesus fan. I flipped out when you mentioned him. I'm now binge watching your guides.

Getting into d&d again and wanted to play 3.5, this has been super helpful. Thank you!
I know it is kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released series online?
@Sam Dustin Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!
@Marley Jagger Happy to help :D

Sharing with this with my 3.5 buddy, great video!
Thanks, I hope they like it
Always been curious how easy it would be to use some of these with 3.0

I thought Open Grave was the better of the two. I do actually go over that in my 4E Buyer's guide when it gets uploaded.
Unless I am mistaken the original D & D online MMORPG was based on AD&D 3.5.
Been waiting for this video!!
Most important book: draconomicon.
The Tome of Magic is worth only for Pact Magic. The other two systems were not that interesting in my opinion.
I'm inclined to agree, I did find True Name Magic to be interesting, but I wasn't likely to incorporate it into my campaign
I can't find videos discussing much on 3.5 at all.
It sucks.
D&D 3.5 Buying Guide:
Just f*cking buy Pathfinder
XD
I do mention Pathfinder at the end of the video
DravenSwiftbow lol I said that at the beginning as just a joke
