Huh, I had no idea this was even coming out.  I may have to get a copy.

Is there a summary of the errata for UA available somewhere online?

Got a copy too yesterday. Looks good. The book's spine didn't explode when I opened it. :D

This is a new serviceable copy for my group.  You should see my players handling the falling out pages of the old ones we have - the first time I saw that I almost lost my mind, then I saw it was Unearthed Arcana.  All the other rulebooks we have from 1e are in very good condition, even the ones from the original printing.

Sorely needed.

Also, I'll be getting Dungeons of Dread as soon as I can get my hands on it.

The issue of Dragon magazine that had the errata is in the archive.  I think the Acaeum has it too...

That's already a significant improvement over the original.  I always wondered if Gary didn't do that on purpose back then, like as if you ought to have done a "Find and Remove Traps" check before attempting to open the book.

Yeah sounds like a gary thing to do(though the whole book was the trap so you couldnt remove it without being unable to actually read it lol).

is that the erratta from the original printing? Or are you saying they did new errors?

That's the original official errata from 1985 which (from what I understand) has all been incorporated into the new printing - with the new tables replacing a piece of art from the original.

I see. That's a change from the other reprints.. at least the 1e corebooks, had no corrections for errata.
