The Magical Skills thing was my fault, really. I didn't write that up as clearly as I might have, and I apologize for that. It's been brought up to the Powers That Be for Errata 1.1.

Thanks for the effort, Patrick!

Incidentally, "magic-specific skills" as limited in that paragraph are supposed to be the Magical Skills as described in the Magic Chapter (Conjuring, Enchanting, & Sorcery Skill Group skills), right?

That was my intent; it didn't seem right for adepts to be buying Sorcery, so I tried to clean it up and managed to bollix things up even worse. Which was most certainly not the intent.

Not to my knowledge, but it was something that was brought up after my initial submission all those moons ago. I know it got a fair amount of discussion somewhere along the line, however, and I'm thinking it's going to be addressed in the next go-round. I could be wrong, however; please don't hold me to that.

Has Catalyst made communication mistakes?  Yes.  Jason Hardy admitted to such and you guys are still raking him over the coals about it.

Could Catalyst have gotten more into the errata?  Maybe.  Fact is, we really don't know what was going on behind the scenes.  As Jason Hardy explained, there is a long process, limited staff, and multiple projects that require the staff.  What we all need to remember is that this is only one product of ...5?  6?  That Catalyst is working on at the moment.

Did Catalyst bite off more than they can chew?  Perhaps - I'm not ready to make a judgement call there yet.  But it sure seems like they might have gotten in over their heads a little bit.

Do we need to resort to petty teasing and tantrum-throwing?  Not at all.  We can all be adults about this, and accept that there are things outside of our control that happen.  If there is a single company in the world that releases everything on time, as scheduled a year in advance, and with no problems I have yet to see them.  No one can do that, which lends credence to the argument that Catalyst may have bitten off more than they can chew.  But what's done is done.

The best thing that we can do is try to help the developers in any way that we can.  Berating them isn't going to do that.  Eventually it'll get to the point where the developers simply lose their passion for making this game, and then we're all SOL.  So everyone just chill out, stop being childish, and get over your egos.



Thank you for the feedback, Patrick.
Feel free to keep any karma you earned illicitly, it's on us.

Thank you Jack of All Trades & Patrick :)

I eagerly await that answer as karma keeps burning a hole in my pocket before I can save to 30

Quick FYI for those who acquired this via DTRPG, there was an update released on Feb 09, though not seeing any material changes (formatting/layout only?).

The only difference I noticed was they added some play testers

Huh, DTRPG didn't send me a notification.   (They have for other items.)  I'll have to check why, lest I miss the core rulebook update when that hits.

Peter, do you work for Catalyst?  You keep defending them even when they make mistakes.

I have a relationship with Catalyst, yes.
Power corrupts.
Absolute power is kinda neat.

If you go on DTRPG and look at your library for your account next to any download that has since had an update it should say (updated) and the date updated so you have an idea which update it is.

I didn't get a specfic message either, but it is nice to go in the library and see at a glance which items I have purchased that have been updated this way and when.

Do you believe in a greater WIRELESS, an Invisible(WiFi) All Seeing(detecting those connected- at least if within 100'), All Knowing(all online data) Presence that we can draw upon for Wisdom(downloads & updates), Strength (wifi boni) and Comfort (porn) or do you turn your back on it  (Go Offline)?

I wouldn't get my hopes up for anything closer than October.. and it's not going to be announced, someday it will just be there.

They might get another update prior to Origins for the con season.  If not then it probably won't happen till fall.
