2nd Printings of WotC Books?

[Paul_Klein]

I'm just curious as to which WotC books have recieved a 2nd printing. All I know for sure is the PHB. Was the DMG and MM printed again? Psionics and Sword and Fist?

Also, is all the errata they've released on their webpage fixed in the 2nd printings?

Thanks!

The PH is the only book that has thus far received a second printing...

Some of the PH errata has come out since its second printing. Some Sage Advice, that may or maynot eventually become official errata has also come out since the PH second printing. Essentially, if you count the huge binder of errata (and Sage Advice that you may, or may not, believe will eventually become official errata) that you need to carry around with you to games, there are four Core Rules books...

What Mark said.

There were some rumors that new prints were going to be released of DMG and the MM but it didn't happen. I guess the corebooks with the price increase aren't moving as fast. Imagine that.

Were they really moving all that much faster before the price increase? (And I'm not talking about the sudden rush to buy it before it goes up) I'd gotten the impression that they had slowed way down before the increase.


Most people who want one have gotten them. Of course then again I have now introduced 2 new people to gaming, one has bought a PHB and another freind long time gamer has decided to finnally buy a complete 3e core rules. So prehaps not too slow

Actually, Sword and Fist has had a 2nd printing. I picked it up about a month ago.

How would one notice a 2nd printing of S&F? What label or print do I look for so I can pick up the right one? I don't want to pick up the 1st printing since I already have that.

Hey Purple, are all the errata and corrections fixed in the 2nd printing of S&F?

Well, the way that I discovered that there was a second printing was thanks to the store having one of each. I didn't get the first printing, but remember that one of the big outcrys was that the Halfling Outrider didn't have a BAB, but it is there in the new printing.

The other check that I found was on the credits page, at the very bottom. It reads "First Printing January, 2001. Changes in this printing supercede previous printings of this book"

The errata that I downloaded from the WotC website months ago matches with the changes in the book (it was incorporated). Weapon changes, ability updates, it all matches. Hope this helps.

Interesting. Ryan Dancey said once that the inclusion of errata corrections in the 2nd printing of PH was a mistake. It led, he thought, to confusion among the player base ... Of course, Dancey ain't the D&D Brand Manager no more.
