FYI, according to my library, my PDF was last modified on... 24.06.2013. So a little over 2 weeks? Probably an old file then, I think they were trying to put in errata since then. It's probably the same version that got printed for Origins?

QUOTE (DWC @ Jul 11 2013, 08:24 AM) The reviewers got the bookmarked copy. Many of them commented on the ease of navigating the file because of the bookmarks. Also, DTRPG doesn't actually do reviews. They just post customer reviews. The reviewer copies went out several weeks ago and CGL has promoted the reviews that the file did receive. DTRPG instead posted the file the freelancers are using as a working copy for developing future products. The assumption that they got a reviewer copy means someone screwed up and sent them the wrong file. I was not trying to say I was right. I was pointing out that there are more than a few plausible explanations that in no way point to an error on CGLs part. I did not have any of this information when I posted so I was wrong, but it still illustrated the danger of assuming you know everything that is going on behind the scenes. Since my post there have been at least two other plausible reasons that do not implicate any error on CGLs part. You even posit the freelancer copy idea. While there may be some here with publishing backgrounds, I suspect most of us do not. We have no working knowledge of the intricacies or standard practices of that field. To lay it on CGL because of our assumptions based on incomplete knowledge make us look foolish to those that do know. I am not defending CGL, I am just suggesting that people don't condemn them until they have seen all of the evidence. When and if that actually happens then make your judgment. |

So you're not defending CGL... by defending CGL.
That's a new definition of 'not', there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif) |

Sounds like a good plot for a Shadowrun.
A new RPG Book is coming out at midnight. Break in to the distributer's Matrix node and upload the incorrect version so when midnight rolls around the wrong book will be released and the RPG corp will loose face. |

Heh, I actually didn't think much of it except that i was pointing out 'I heard it's up, but it doesn't seem to be.' It's cool here though, about 3 hours should see it's proper release. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

QUOTE (Epicedion @ Jul 11 2013, 11:05 AM) Why are you people up in such arms about this? Because if there's one thing we can be sure of lately, it's that attention to detail isn't something that even comes up in meetings at Catalyst. This is just another bump in a long, rocky road of 'em lately. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif) QUOTE (BunnyColvin @ Jul 11 2013, 12:05 PM) Got it. Reading now. No bookmarks is my only complaint. Check the errata thread. There's still basic proofing errors in here, as well as stuff like 'Trolls pay 50% more for bio/cyber/gear' that was supposedly out. |

We also know from reviews that there exists a version with bookmarks. Because one reviewer made mention of it. |

I emailed CGL about the bookmarks.
They responded that it's supposed to have the bookmarks, and they were working with DTR to get the correct version out, even if it meant re-uploading an updated version. Heh, Randall was also dismayed that I had gotten the book this morning (but thanked me for purchasing it). Sounds like DTR had made the item available way before they were supposed to. Which is an honest mistake by a site admin, I'm sure. DTR's twitter even said it wouldn't be available until this afternoon. |

Going to take me a while to find problems with the actual content, this book is huge. The bookmarks stood out because its a pain to navigate without them in a pdf. |

Without the bookmarks, I've found the hyperlinks in the Table of Contents to be extremely useful.

If you bought it earlier, re-download it from your library. It isn't for sale yet.

Got the update...there are my lovely bookmarks. Didn't even see the links in the Table of Contents. Good to know.
I didn't even know that DriveThru gave free updates of downloads until today. Now I have to download updated versions of all my other stuff. Learning all kinds of stuff today. thanks! |

It looks like the PDF isn't available for sale, but if you have purchased it earlier you can get the version with bookmarks. |
