DDI and errata...

[Plane Sailing]

Interesting to see Mike Mearls saying that they are aware of some stat problems with Keep on the Shadowfell, and that they will be putting up errata on DDI.

I've got one concern though - what happens when DDI becomes chargeable? Does that mean that errata will only be available to those who are subscribers to DDI, or is "DDI" being used as a portmanteau term to mean 'the website'?

Hopefully I might have missed something and my concern is unfounded - but I'd hate to think that people would have to pay to get errata fixing mistakes in something they've bought!

Cheers

portmanteau is a big word

They said before that errata for print products will always be on the free portion of the site.

And one used in an improper context.

A portmanteau is when you shorten two or more words into a single word, (web log = blog, for instance).

DDI is, more properly termed an acronym.

I believe, though I have no quote, that it has been stated that the erratta will be freely available.

 

[Thornir Alekeg]

My understanding is that DDI references the D&D website. Once it goes to paid subscription, there will be a free portion and a subsciber portion of the site, but it will all be part of the D&D Insider website.

As others have said, they have stated that errata will be available on the free portion of the website.

You forget, it also means a big travelling suitcase, which is the meaning I was obviously aiming for.

That's fine then.

I only count 11 letters, thats not that big of a word.

For comparison adventurers and bloodsucker are also 11 letter words.

Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism, now at 30 letters that is a big word.
