Its true that there was no "these other games are better" and you probably didn't mean it that way, but it isn't hard to see how someone could read that into it pretty easily. Anyway, its neither here nor there. We obviously like our 4e <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I don't think its really a very valid comparison either to look at errata rates for other games and conclude that 4e has a high number of "errors". Certainly a few of the errata for 4e were corrections of outright errors, but not many. Most of those errors simply would have been passed over and never corrected in most other game products. Honestly the vast majority of companies simply never release errata at all. TSR certainly didn't. In the entire history of 1e and 2e combined there might have been 10 errata issued that I know of and there were plenty of errors. Most of them you just never noticed because it was hard to tell they WERE errors.The VAST majority of 4e "errata" are really rules updates. To the best of my knowledge 4e is vastly better supported in that sense than any RPG that has ever come before it. 3.x did move in that direction in its day, but remember they had a lot less of an option to do that kind of thing online. Times change and its nice that WotC has the resources to go with the times and be able to issue a constant stream of updates.I can see feeling like printed books get out of date fast but that is a limitation of the medium. Dead tree format is just obsolescent. We aren't at the point yet where it can be abandoned by a long shot, but that day is coming. Its good that people can play using the newer electronic formats instead, though honestly I don't think I could manage without having printed books around some of the time. Its still awfully convenient to have them.</blockquote>
