Considering that it is now 2 (TWO) months PDF is out, would it not be time to get out an errata for this edition? I do understand that it is difficult to implant in a second printing an errata, but  in a PDF, it isa joke not having it....

Sichr's personal attack aside, the errata is still not a need but rather a want. You can still play the game fine without it.

They've said they're working on it.

If it needs to wait to match with layout changes, it would be nice to get another temporary update a la the Missions Hot Patch.

I'm guessing it's partially layout to blame yes. Design has been swamped after all.
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!

The entire book has to go through layout again when errata gets rolled in. It's a big book, that takes a while to get done. Rather than do it once for the PDF and once for the print book, the book will go through layout again just before it goes to print. That's when the PDF will get its update.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power is kinda neat.

Actually RPGs that don't need errata already exist, those being every single RPG out there. Just because there are those who would really want it doesn't mean it's needed.
You are right, of course. I phrased what I was saying wrong. I meant only that there has never been a book published that was 100% exactly how the writers/editors/developers/etc. intended for it to be.

You can even play RPG with no rules at all. Rules are not the need but rather a want

That is not the case. Game mechanics are good, I like changes made in those. Well this

thread is 22 pages long. Solid argument for everyone who wants to wait.

As a frequent contributor to that thread I can say that well over 2/3s of the posts in there are discussion or repetition of a handful of known issues. You also appear to have an atypical browser setting. I show it at 15 pages.
