[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5238767, member: 58416"] For me, I'd be keen on updated books which were paperback. While I would normally be against buying the same book twice, and I am aware that I can just add sticky notes of errata or whatever to the books I have, there are two main reasons I would like an updated book. 1) The new products are different enough from where 4E started that I *do* feel there are a couple issues that arrise when mixing old with new. This isn't just errata; there has been some fairly rapid power creep as well as what seems to be a very different set of design ideals upon which the new products are built, Like I said, this goes beyond errata. The ideals upon which the game is built have changed, and the method for building things has changed enough that some of the old material -while still compatible- doesn't always match up well with new material. 2) Again, I know I can put notes of errata into my books via sticky note or whatnot, but there's enough of it now that it is not always easy to keep track of. I am glad errata is provided, but there is a lot of it to keep track of. At home I can ignore it and play just fine, but, if I want to participate in a gaming event at a local store or something like that, sometimes I am not even sure how to make a character which is in line with the same rules they are using. However, with that being said, I'd need to be convinced that I want to buy any more 4E products at all before I would be open to buying updated versions of the books I have. [/QUOTE]
