Level Up (A5E) Has there been a second printing of A5e?

I'm considering picking up A5e and was wondering if there has been a second printing of the rulebooks that incorporates the errata for the first printing books.

I've just looked through the PDFs and wanted to say that A5e looks fantastic (it notably appears to have been way ahead of official 5e where many rules changes are concerned). Also, Appendix B in the Adventurer's Guide is brilliant! I would've killed for that kind of advice in the official D&D 5e PHB.
 

Is the DTRPG version getting updated errata?

The current version on DriveThruRPG shows last updated in December 2021, which is apparently also when it was added to the catalogue- the dates are kind of funky (updated Dec1st before it was added to the catalogue Dec12th?)

Good question. I bought my PDFs through the ENWorld Publishing store, rather than DriveThruRPG. I checked the PDFs I received against the 1st printing errata and they appear to have been updated as Morrus indicated. I'm uncertain about the DriveThruRPG files.
 

My Kickstarter PDFs were fulfilled through DriveThru. I last downloaded them on Jan 21, 2025. The files are all designated "v 2." However, there isn't a clear indication which printing they are within the text.
It still contains this confusing text (that has probably been errata'd) on p 450 of the Adventurers Guide that "5 levels of Fatigue" gives the doomed condition. It is 7 levels elsewhere in the book and on the character sheet.
I'm new to LU, but that's something that has been caught in the latest printings, right?

Nope. I just checked the PDFs I got from ENWorld. That error (i.e. 5 levels of fatigue imparting the Doomed condition) still exists under the discussion of Doomed. Elsewhere, it's 7 levels of fatigue. Good catch. I'll probably rule that it's the latter, as that seems to be the intent.

Having checled myself? The currently files on DT are still the old files without errata. I hope that gets fixed soon.
 

Upon further investigation it looks like only some of the current errata has been applied to the PDFs purchased from ENWorld's own store (and, therefore, I suspect the printed books as well). For example, the Cleric's spell tables on pages 160 and 165 have not been corrected. Likewise, the Ranger's Survivalist knack is still present on Page 233, despite errata indicating it should be removed. Other errata has been applied, however. For instance, on page 47, the Caravanner’s Long Hauler trait appears to have been updated correctly. So it looks like it's a bit of a mixed bag, unfortunately. I probably wouldn't have made this purchase if I'd known this was the case. :(
