[QUOTE="lkj, post: 8519409, member: 18646"] What I got from the brief information on the DDB Dev Update 1) Existing content will not be overwritten. 2) They don't have details to share yet on how that will be implemented on DDB (double entries, toggle, etc.) 3) WotC has asked to take the lead on messaging around the book, presumably including how the updates to monsters are considered in relationship to their appearance in the original books. This implies to me that you'll need to buy the book to get access to the new material (e.g., it's not an errata/update that automatically supersedes the original version). That's still not completely clear, but it seems like it would have to go that way. It also suggests to me that there's something new about how it's being treated that WotC feels the need to convey themselves. And finally, I'll be curious how they implement this without it being a mess. I'm sure they'll figure it out, but we'll see if it's ready on release day. AD [/QUOTE]
