Second printing?

Does anyone know the ETA for the second printing of the LotR core book?

Does it incorporate the errata?

Is the second printing the same thing as the Limited Edition printing? If not, does anyone know when that's coming?

I wasn't able to find the answer on Decipher's website. I emailed Jeff Tidball a week ago, but have received no response from him.

Thanks in advance for any helpful reply.

I believe it'll be out mid-August. The Decipher store is accepting pre-orders for the book, IIRC.

"Does it incorporate the errata?"

Yes. See the latest version of the errata on Decipher's site for what is and what is not included.

"Is the second printing the same thing as the Limited Edition printing? If not, does anyone know when that's coming?"

Sort of? The Limited Edition will contain the same revisions as the second printing, but will have a nicer cover and a limited edition Shire sourcebook packaged with it. No firm dates on this yet; my guess is Christmas.

"I wasn't able to find the answer on Decipher's website. I emailed Jeff Tidball a week ago, but have received no response from him."

Not surprising. He was on vacation and doing the various conventions around the country. :D

Hope this helps!

The official stance on ths is "as soon as it can be distributed". :)

A large portion of it, yes. Check the Errata here or on the Decipher site for which items were included in the second printing.

No, there is a difference between the second printing and the Limited Edition. While they would use the same pages, the Limited Edition will not be out until later this year.

I've made comments on this subject in the Decipher Message boards (recently, too!), but it may have slipped off the first page (and thus become difficult to find). However, you can always email the Decipher RPG Net Rep at lotrrpginfo@decipher.com. :)
