[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4523006, member: 70778"] But they could aid in future books for errata concerns. If you have a card design power then you have a set space allotted for each powers rules. this way when you have errata it is made based on writing the new rules out to also fit within that car size and space for the power. Some powers will have leftover space, so if you don't make them as actual cards, you will have enough space on the page for plenty of errata to any power needing it. Again this does little for non-power errata where text just runs and runs in larger chunks, but it could possibly help. I also think the PDF market would be bigger if fully utilized like suggested to where it was as useful, including errata, and economical for the purchaser. Also the DDI doesn't replace the need for the books. All the rules will not be there, I just feel it. Plus you don't get any of the artwork and the DDI is not printer friendly with its background images and colors. So one may want the Adventure Vault, and want it for all time via PDF rather than renting portions of it through DDI, or needing DDI in order to get the correct and up to date rules for a book. If done right there is a chance the PDF sales and number of players that the PDFs can create could make the game gains tons of new players that may have never existed before, because the books were just too much to spend for. Updated with errata means the PDFs are more useful since you don't need two sources like the PDF errata pages, and the physical books for when you may not be able to use the DDI in locations where there is no online access like a local convention or something like even a camping trip. I do not wish to get into PDF use and camping without electricity, but it is possible....not to mention armed services where they can't just plug in to unsecured lines with their computers. Oh well. I will wait to see if/when the PDFs are worth buying/updated prior to purchasing any of them. [/QUOTE]
