[QUOTE="Odhanan, post: 5301656, member: 12324"] Usually not, because I keep my houserules, modifications and notes in their own dedicated notebooks, and official errata are usually nitpicky BS to me. When I got a problem while running the game, I make a ruling on the spot. If the ruling comes back regularly, I make it an actual written houserule. This method never failed me. It's nice to be aware of issues, typos etc with the game, but I usually don't make a big deal out of it. I can think of two major exceptions, however. I did write down all the Iron Heroes errata and various interpretations of Adam Windsor in the original rulebook before there was a Revised edition of the game, mainly because at the time I had to keep up with whatever was the Official version of the game, as an admin of the Iron League (the fan group of IH players and GMs). The second exception is the Star Wars Saga rulebook, which had significantly few rules, and a clearly unified mechanic throughout, that made some of the errors glaringly obvious. I thus annotated the book where that needed to be done. [/QUOTE]
