[QUOTE="EricNoah, post: 508131, member: 4"] Spot on. From what I've read and from what I am guessing, I believe the new revised edition is not really made for "people like us." We're connected, we know where to find errata, we know how to look up the D&D FAQ. We know how to get questions answered, and we know how to find house rules for some of the more "iffy" core D&D rules. I believe that the revised edition will be more for people who have gone these two (and it will be nearly three by the time the books come out) years without ever logging on to the WotC website. And even moreso it will be for the (hopefully) ever-present group of new players who have yet to crack open a D&D book. I can see how it rankles -- some of the "value added" stuff put in specifically to lure "people like us" into buying the revised edition will be new. And now they'll be core rules, where they weren't core rules before. How WotC plans to share those things with those of us who are connected remains to be seen, but my bet is on an updated SRD if nothing else. And that will be adequate for "people like us" who already have most of the rules and just might need some of the extra stuff for future use. [/QUOTE]
