Now I know it's not out yet, but I was wondering of anybody had any info on how many mistakes/typos have crept into the new EpicA rulebook? I'm expecting a few this being GW, but am hoping they aren't as bad as I've heard the new Necromunda rulebook was. Hopefully a few of you guys have seen pre-release copies or got a indication from whats up at the vault to know how the rulebook has shaped up in this regard. |

Not me. I've seen the preliminary copy of the rules (as can almost anyone who wants to download it from the Vault) and while I haven't seen the Necromunda book in question I think that the Epic rulebook is quite well done and has had some very good volunteer editing by some of the members of the Epic Forum. |

I dont think it will be that bad, considering that most of the rules have been up in the Vault for a while. Most of the typos and mistakes have been picked out and commented on. my 2cents iblisdrax |

Hi! I guess I'm really out of it since, I dont particularly remember GW books having so many typos. Poorly explained rules, loopholes the size of elephants, but not really horrible typos. Of course, I haven't bought a GW since 1997, so I may be outdated.  Primarch |

The downloadable version could do with a spellcheck though! You'd think that a professional company would enforce it when sending out text files. Most of the problems that generally plague rulebooks have been placed into the errata section on the website, but this is no guarantee that they'll be fixed in the rulebook. Probably just get a WD article in a few months with all the mistakes printed in little dotted boxes for you to cut around and glue in.... ...but I have faith really.

Oh yeah... the new Epic PDFs don't look bad at all, and I'm sure they won't be as awful as Necromunda Underhive which is just shockingly badly proofread... weapons have different stats in different sections, obselete rules have been left in and there are just generally hundreds of horrible typos...

Hi! Sounds like that Necromunda book was bad news.... At least the PDF's for epic look good, so I dont think the epic book will be that bad. Primarch |

I think there has been enough activity on the playtesters forum to iron out many of these types of problems... |

I hope so. My reading of the latest downloads picked up a dozen or so typos and innacuracies, and that's not counting the mistakes throughout the Reference Sheets. |

Those PDFs were posted prior to them being sent to press and prior to a final round of edits and tweaks. New PDFs should be on the site by the end of the month (perhaps) and those should be missing quite a few of the errors you saw |
