[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 5322360, member: 221"] There has obviously been a breakdown of communication somewhere on my part, or the threads have got crossed or something because I don't remember ever complaining about 4e errata. Its not really a subject much on my radar. My refrence to the "older manuals" and "current support" was meant to be a reference to PDF support of older, out of print products. The question I was originally addressing is why one company gets complaints and another does not. The short answer is that the nature of the changes is such that it causes some people to be upset. As for comparing the ability to port stuff from WoD to 4e to the ability to port from 3e into 4e.... 3e and 4e [B]both [/B]have the name Dungeons and Dragons on them and [B]both [/B]claim to be descendants of the game developed by Arneson and Gygax. They are both about sword and sorcery fantasy heroes in a fantasy world fighting monsters. They are the same genre, have the same name and are even made by the same company. I think it is pretty reasonable to think there should be some relationship between one edition of dungeons and dragons and another. WoD on the other hand is a game about being a monster in a modern world, using a d10 Storyteller system. Its a different genre, a different playstyle, using a different base mechanic and its produced by a different company. I think it pretty reasonable for people [I]not [/I]to complain about being able to use World of Darkness ideas in their d20 games. (though for those who really, really have to have WoD in their Dungeons and Dragons, there is always Monte Cook's d20 WoD) [/QUOTE]
