Message: <blockquote data-quote="Beginning of the End" data-source="post: 5319652" data-attributes="member: 55271">This isn't a new set of rules. This is a supplement being revised for the Pathfinder rules which was previously published under the 3.5 rules.FantasyCraft is receiving a second printing (not a new edition) and, taking advantage of this new printing, errors in the original text are being corrected.I've never seen anyone complain about the idea of WotC releasing new printings of the core rulebooks which have been corrected with errata.Every one of which remains completely compatible with previous editions of the game. Chaosium simply doesn't use the term "edition" to mean "completely different version of the game" in the way that the rest of the industry does; so, yet again, you're comparing apples and oranges.In short, people don't get upset by these other examples you're citing because these other examples are all fundamentally different from the 3.0 -> 3.5 or 3.5 -> 4.0 shift in D&D.Unless you want to participate in living campaigns. Or if continued official support in the form of fresh supplements is important to you. Or if being able to obtain rulebooks for new players is desirable.I, on the other hand, would be utterly shocked if financial concerns and business planning weren't the primary factors in determining the release date of the new edition.</blockquote>
