[QUOTE="Ranes, post: 1145731, member: 4826"] Well, I haven't seen any official word but I'd put money on it. That's assuming we're talking about a full second printing and not just an option to re-run the presses. I don't know about the US but, in the UK, a publisher usually pays for print run X with an option to print Y additional copies at the original rate, if taken within a certain timeframe (which is usually a matter of weeks to months). I'd guess printers in the US do something along the same lines. In that case, if an option is exercised, it's still considered part of the first printing. It uses the original films and therefore would not incorporate any errata. If, for one reason or another, WotC finds a second printing justifiable a year to eighteen months from now, any option to extend the original print run will have expired. In that case, I reckon it would pay to incorporate these and any other errata that have been collated in time. The pre-production costs would not be that great and the potential to sell copies to mugs (yes, like me :rolleyes: ) who simply don't want errata slipping out of their core book sleeves, as well as to new players, may well be great enough to justify the go-ahead. This third paragraph is simply inexcusable in a post containing so few (ie no) facts. I'll let it die and go back to lurking, shall I? [/QUOTE]
