The SRD has everything you need to play.
The DM giveth and the rogue taketh away.
I have a 5 in Charisma and Diplomacy is a cross-class skill.  Hopefully I don't piss off too many people.

Except for the experience system.

To clarify, it takes 1000 XP to hit level 2, another 2000 to hit level 3, etc.

Huh, I never noticed that.  I knew it didn't have some stuff, but thought it had all the essentials.

The stuff it doesn't have is covered in the FAQ

Alternatively Paizo put their whole Pathfinder game(including new material) as OGL. Its not exactly the same as 3.5 though.

Procrastination is the thief of time; Year after year it steals, till all are fled,
And to the mercies of a moment leaves; The vast concerns of an eternal scene.

Shouldn't that be LEGEND? (Which is indeed a very cool system.)

Dungeon World is a blast. Gives that feeling of being awesome, the nostalgia of AD&D or OD&D and elements of those new fangled story games. yummy  :love
