Are there any plans to do a second printing of the core rulebook to include the errata? I know I’d buy a copy.
December 31, 2013 at 5:35 pm #254358drafitParticipantHello,
Are there any plans to do a second printing of the core rulebook to include the errata? I know I’d buy a copy.
There aren’t any plans at the moment, though if and when we do a second printing, all errata and a few other things we’ve learned will be included.
The problem is that the book came out just a few years ago and it wasn’t a cheap product.
However, here’s an idea – what would you and others think of a 2nd edition that stripped out the first chapter and then condensed everything into a smaller digest sized book?
This isn’t a promise, but just a thought that occurred to me.
Thoughts and comments everyone?

That being said, even though I am quite familiar with the setting I still find myself referencing the Codex Arcanis in that book, especially for names and whatnot. This can be made up for with a Campaign guide (or buying a cheap older copy of the PGTA), but there is still the risk of something being lost.

I love the idea of a 2nd edition. I know there are things that you wanted to fix or change that would make it even better as a ruleset and as Cody mentions, having the setting information in a revised Codex would be great as well. I’d certainly buy it.
With a sweep of his hat,

Though having access to the first chapter information would be a value. Have it as either a PDF download or a CD included in the cover.
January 1, 2014 at 9:26 am #254398AnonymousInactiveI didn’t say second edition, because to me a new edition means a change to the system. Personally, I think the system is great as it stands. I was just thinking it would be nice to have all the errata/rewording included in the text for ease of reference.
I guess I’d need a little more clarification on what would change to make it a new edition.

I’ll agree with that. That section is particularly expendable if a 2nd edition/printing happens in either in conjunction with or after the updated Codex Arcanis.
I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but if you print it, I’ll buy it.
