I'm like you. Never seek it out, but if a player brings it up, I'll incorporate it if it makes sense... I mean, I'm sort of ... ahem... flexible when it comes to the rules anywayI do not think I have ever incorporated errata with a TTRPG if I was running the game from the books. I think I have had players bring my attention to specific errata that impacts their characters and we may have incorporated that, but I don't have any strong memories of doing so.
When you have purchased a game in book format, dead tree or PDF (as opposed to on a VTT or service like DnDB), do you actively look for and "manually" incorporate errata into the rules? How often do you check? Do you incorporate it all, or just select bits? Does it change whether you are running versus playing the game? Does it depend on what game it is?
I have strong memories. My AD&D 2nd books had plenty of notes - PHB and DMG.I do not think I have ever incorporated errata with a TTRPG if I was running the game from the books.

I do incorporate official errata, but not unofficial. D&D 5E at first was a problem, because Mearls and Crawford both were generating competing rules calls... if it's simple, I write it in using pencil. If it's complex, I instead redo the table... and put it in my cheat sheets.When you have purchased a game in book format, dead tree or PDF (as opposed to on a VTT or service like DnDB), do you actively look for and "manually" incorporate errata into the rules?
