Am I the only one who hope the new DH reprint is a v3.0 Errated one?

By D4M0CLES, in Dark Heresy

Seriously,

DH is the game we're playing the most so far, but the rules are so full of changes that we have to keep a RT book in all our games for rulecheck.

Here, a DH v3.0 reprint would be an auto buy for 2 books, replacing our old one. Anyone here in the same boat?

I'd love that. This would actually tempt me to buy a new Core Rulebook and a new IH (hardcover yay!) - I still have my Black Industries ones and ... uhh ... :P

There is a chance they might do that if every single copy of their old version sells first, and they don't just revamp Dark Heresy to work using the revised ruleset they used for Rogue Trader and Deathwatch... no doubt with its own internal inconsistencies, impossibly vague wording, and outright editting mistakes.

They are a for-profit company, after all. Still, if they DID, I have no doubt I as well would immediately head to the shop and grab a copy myself lengua.gif

I'm sure it's not a matter of if, but when FFG will print an errata-containing core rulebook (for all the systems). They are no doubt aware that many people with existing copies are likely to buy new ones if they have been updated.

My Black Industries DH rulebook is now held together with sellotape, and the Inquisitor's Handbook has been for a swim courtesy of the GM's laundry, so I await new issues with bated breath! Until the errata are included, I'll just keep sellotaping and peeling pages apart.

Only if they fully sell out of their current stockpile (how large that is, who knows), only if they feel they can sell sufficient quantities of "this book is exactly the same as the one you had before, minus a few misprints and balances that you can get on the web" to be worth the time, money, and INVESTMENT required to send Dark Heresy back to the Printing Presses, only if they don't feel that revamping Dark Heresy's mechanics to fall into the Rogue Trader/Deathwatch style and calling it "Edition 1.5" won't get them more money, and only if they don't feel more money is to be had in restarting the whole dog and pony show again by tweaking the RT/DW ruleset slightly and calling it 2nd Edition... complete with its own misprints, editting mistakes, and balance issues.

I still place it as fairly unlikely.

I'm pretty strapped for cash right now, but I would gladly shell out for a Version 1.5 Edition...

I would buy a revised Ed. DH is by far the best of the 3 main titles out so far, and I still have my old BI copy that has seen some wear and tear.

Well, I wouldn't mind a reprint with the current FAQ stuff, but I wouldn't want it to include some of the changes done for Deathwatcjh and Rogue Trader. The one that I can think of at the moment is Assassin's Strike, where in Deathwatch it is limited to once a turn. That's fine in Deathwatch, when we are talking about Space Marines, but the Dark Heresy one which allows it after ever successful melee attack suits the "dance of death" Deatch Cult Assassin types. There are other minor changes I was not keen on either, which I think would be a shame to see come into Dark Heresy, but I can't remember them at the moment (There is the Righteous Fury thing, but they seem to have errataed that so it's not really a difference anymore).
