General RPG DiscussionDiscussion of all RPGs and non-system-specific topics. DM/GM/player issues, settings, etc. Rules discussion belongs in one the forums below.
When they announced that the PDFs on RPGNow for the D&D 4e core rulebooks had been updated, someone bought them and said they didn't contain any rules updates. Anyone know if they've been updated yet? The preview doesn't seem to contain updates.

Yes they are updated with errata that was in the Special Edition Versions
I went out last night and bought the PHB and DMG after the Rouse confirmed they have the errata. They look great. A lot more than just the errata. It's fully bookmarked and so far all the of page references I've found are hyperlinked.
Even more interesting are the pdf bundles they are doing with Fiery Dragon. I'm a big mini guy, but if I wasn't, getting counters for all the monsters in an adventure would be perfect. Good job on making that happen.
Anyway, PHB and DMG look great. I'll start backfilling my D&D collection with PDFs based on those.
Any chance that the printed core books will be updated soon?
I've seen this go by a couple of times unanswered on this site. . .
How about a definite answer? From Mr. Rouse, perhaps? Being the only WotC representative I'm aware of seeing here on a regular basis, just seems more likely that most, is all.

This has already been addressed afaik.

The last two times I've seen it asked here on EN World, it went unanswered.
AFAIK, that is. If you can point me (and the people originally asking so far) to where it is addressed, please do. Thanks!
We know the files have been updated (else we wouldn't have errataed PDFs). The books are made on the basis of those files (Sorry, can't recall what they are called). It's pretty obvious that the next print run will incorporate the errata.

I took his question to be about when the erratad books would actually be out. I don't think that anybody has said. I also think that it's kind of arbitrary, I mean when the current run gets low enough to demand it, then they'll know. When was the last print run?

An official response, or a link to one, would be fantastically useful at this point.
Don't get me wrong - what you're saying makes perfect sense to me, but hey, I don't know how they do things there. And, again, (at least) two people have asked in the last few months or so, and not received a response of any kind.
Well, except this response, I guess. But that's not what I'm talkin' 'bout.
maybe a little more information of how the stock is doing would help (but maybe it is counterproductive, because then all will hold back with buying...)

what about a private message then
I doubt WotC, just like most other companies share information about their sales with random people on the internet.

While I think that is most unlikely for Wizards to do but I would be grateful if WoTC was kind enough to post an announcement that the printed books have erratas in them which is.......also unlikely.

yes, i do too
but they already anounced a second printing etc...
As i do think it is not the best idea to tell everyone that you have outdated material in your stock and (as you can read in my post), spreading information at the right time can help your sales...
...scientific books are often in the 8th printing or something, with forewords pointing out the older errors and corrections... i donīt think you have to be ashamed when you have freshly enhanced 3rd printing books out...

I don't think they are ashamed. I am not sure how you got to that conclusion
And afaik, it's the fourth print they are on now, fifth will be the one with errata. It could be one less though, memory isn't what it has been
