It's not a matter of them making mistakes. Anyone can make a mistake. Case in point: The recent Mongoose issue over the Feat book. This product has just been released and immediately upon being made aware of the problem they are tending to the errata. They've also cleared up the Prestige Class Section 15 errors. But as you indicate, the Chaosium book has been out longer than any other product, yet there isn't any errata regarding the designations for it. I still find the product on the shelf of various gaming stores, containing the same errors in designation. Also remember, I indicated that I would *like* for them to revisit the book after the ELH material is released, mostly because I think that much of that material would better allow them to represent the setting, but also so that they can correct these earlier misconceptions and errors. I certainly *would* buy it then. Overall, being that I'm not really interested in their non-d20 products, all I've done is decide to not buy 2 books that support the 1 I did buy (bought twice, in fact, when I thought I lost the first one I had, because I *do* like it and mourned its loss). If they fix the designations, as is expected of *anyone* using the OGL (including little fan boys like me), then the problem's fixed. I certainly don't think they intentionally got stingy and purposely held-out (there are examples of such on the market, after all), but the same philosophy that would allow people to not buy Mongoose's Ultimate Feats is the same that would keep me from buying more of Chaosium's products now: Improper OGC Designation. Maybe you read more anger or spite in my last post than I intended to include; I assure you, this isn't the case. But with all the time that's gone by, and with all the clarity obtained regarding many of these issues that you yourself have indicated, the fact that *nothing* has been done to correct it is something to keep in mind. ~Ol' Ben _______________________________________________ Ogf-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.opengamingfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ogf-l
