Dragon Compendium Volume 2

[Hypersmurf]

And the editing was about as good as a WoTC book... Bad Piazo.

Heh

[00Machado]

it has to be better than the first one.

QFT. The last one I found to have missed its potential.

not really interested

Is it too soon to pre-order?
Hopefully DC2 will be searchable/printable full-text and not just graphic scans, but either way a coupla of CDs is much easier to review/store than years of hardcopy.

We're not talking about a CD compilation - the Dragon Compendium is a hardcover reprint/update of selected articles, mostly game material

And the editing was about as good as a WoTC book so that wasn't too good. And the second printing carried over those errors. Bad Piazo.

I found it worse actually.

Still a handy and nice book, but by no means perfect.

Joe standard of perfection have increased ever since he found out his beloved teddy was actually an Unholy Scion Half Fiend Half Dragon Thrall of Dagon.

I also agree with Oglar about a AoW HC...but I've been wishing for an Orcus Plushie for a while now so it's kind of a pipe dream we'll have to live with for now.

But a whole lot of it seemed to be from about issue 275 on. There were some older articles but those seemed mostly on 'ideas', not crunch.
I'd like to see some of the old stuff converted from AD&D to 3.5. But that is my opinion.

Yeah, I gotta agree. Update the old stuff.

No, no standards of perfection here.

Editing in the gaming industry is a joke. Not just WoTC but every game publisher. AEG's WLF, Warlords, and L5R 3rd edition all have major gaffs for example. Most White Wolf books still have editing errors here and there. heck, I remember a time when they were xx pages in almost every book they did.

A few books escape this editing but for most, it's a non-issue. In most cases, as they're generally single print runs, you're scrwed with hoping to see some online errata. With the DC it's worse because they carried over the errors without fixing them.

Still, it'd be nice to see more than lip service given to the idea of editing.

Perfect editing or not, as long as I can tell what it is supposed to be (which, granted hasn't always happened even with WotC stuff). Still, sign me up as soon as possable.

DC2! DC2! DC2!
