    I'm planning to buy myself a hardcopy of FantasyCraft and the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting but I've read somewhere that both of these books will be going through a second print run with some added text (particularly FantasyCraft which adds the erratas). I can't seem to relocate the...
