Like all pen and paper role playing
games books play an important role.They set the rules for the
game and also assist all players so that the game is run smoothly.
The books can be broken in to three different
categories. The first being the Dungeons and Dragons trinity of
core rule books. Consisting of the Players Hand Book,
the Dungeon Master Guide, and the Monster Manual.
In order to make a game work these three books are required.
The next categories being the official
splat books. These books are ones released by Wizards of the Coast
that have the Dungeons and Dragons symbol at the top of the book.
The Third being the d20 open license splat
books. That means any company can release a book that can be used
with the dungeons and dragons d20 system how ever some material
in these books can be 'broken' please see DM if you have any questions.
