[QUOTE="Lady Dragon, post: 832695, member: 3453"] I think they got nailed simply because of the number of times they have done it. And the fact that it was not just a simple mess up of editing or not realizing that it was not open content. I think the two newer books had to hurt the most finacially since they were probably almost sold out of the others. They could correct the errors and reprint them. I could see them doing this on Dungeonworld since this is their main campaign setting but they won't fix the others. As for their quality they are slowly getting better but they are not their yet. They Have some wonderful ideas but they just don't execute very well, and this is surprising since some of there writers and editors have worked for TSR/WoTC for many years,and should know what they are doing. What I think the problem is, personally is that these writers are used to turning in manuscripts in rough form and then letting the large staff of typesetters and editors spend several months cleaning it up for publication and now a fraction of the staff has a fraction of the time to put out tons of hardcover books as many as WoTC does in a year without all the resources and throew the product out there at deadline wheather it is ready or not, and move on to the next product. I don,t think they were hit that hard finacially though since most books are sold in the first month and all these books were at least that old. [/QUOTE]
