[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 101650, member: 232"] Don't play GURPS anymore, last time was about 8 years ago. So, I'm not familiar with how they do errata. White Wold isn't bad, but I have read some glaring mistakes that just make me cringe. And yes, they do have errata on their website, not that I've every looked through it. So, that's SJG, White Wolf, and WoTC that does errata on a reguliar basis, and proably a few others that I missed. Out of how many RPG companies? And the errata is only found on the net. I'd have to say that there are more gamers who never use the net then do. So, the errata doesn't get to everyone that needs it. Most compainies seem to just wait for that next printing to fix things. THere was one company that did a total turn around in one of there books. I was using the first printing and when someone wanted to use it but described it as he knew, from a third printing, I thought he was going mental on me or trying to slip one by me. But then we compared books and found glaring differences. So, what's the solution? Better editing so less errata is needed. Slow down the production of books, I'll wait I'm a patient person. Offer better errat, full pages of fixed documents instead of item by item lists. That's only good if I want to go through and manual fix my own book, which I never will. Makes it look cheap and unproffesional. Maybe this should be brought up in the d20 Publishers forum. Least then we get the opinions and comments of people actually in the business and they can tell us how feasible this is or if we should give up and admit defeat. [/QUOTE]
