[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 5872370, member: 95493"] I'm not saying don't assume the game won't need errata, I'm saying don't rely upon errata for fixing your system before it is even released. I can give an example of this. 4e by wotc has errata, so does pathfinder by paizo. Both have errata. One playtested and has significantly less errata needed. One has a mindset that they can use their DnDI to fix errata. To equate this to the example above; either they should test the system to get the best damned product they can BEFORE release. OR they can keep extra pages blank, or have open-binders, or include handy DnD sticky notes for when errata is needed. I would rather have the superior product with 0 errata added on (even if it is needed), then a faster product with more errata needed (even if the extra errata makes it a better system overall.) I don't know the point you are trying to make Warder, mine is that I don't want to have to rely on anything electronic be it online sources, pdfs, app based programs, e-character sheets or whatever. It does not improve my game. It has the opposite effect. I haven't had any experience with iPads or tablets at my games so far but I have had to ban laptops even though we used them for years without any real incident. It adds a barrier between players, and when the game is about interaction having everyone's nose behind a screen is the exact wrong thing I want to see at a gaming table. Now, I'm not opposed to having these resources OUT of game. I'm sure there are CharOps boards that can help, or certainly coming here and talking about DnD/looking for suggestions, but these are things that detract IN game. For this simple reason I want my rule book to be a BOOK not a file on a server. This includes the SRD. [/QUOTE]
