Could we get some clarity on that last point? I thought I heard that the Pocket RB does not contain any Errata to the 2nd Ed. RB. But I don't have it so that is just an unsubstantiated rumor at the moment.Definitely - DEFINITELY - BOTH! The binder RB is much better to read from (bigger print and easier on the eyes all-around). Plus it contains Chapter H plus any supplementary chapters you may have acquired (CGs, HASLs, TPPs, etc.). Some people even have these chapters separately bound, which makes the whole thing much more manageable.
That said, the Pocket Edition (containing the complete musical scale from Chapters A-G) is supremely handy - from quick reference, to a thorough read through "on the go." It also makes looking up rules in the binder easier as you can be reading from the big book while following any cross-references with the small book.
Finally, they say that the Pocket RB is updated each time it goes to print. Mine is pretty up to date, and contains very recent Errata, though I do not know how much of a factor this really is.
My Pocket Ed. contains 2nd Edition Errata dated June 1, 2015.Could we get some clarity on that last point? I thought I heard that the Pocket RB does not contain any Errata to the 2nd Ed. RB. But I don't have it so that is just an unsubstantiated rumor at the moment.
Good point, Philippe!Another factor is the fact (is it still true? hope so) that the binder version comes with a set of chapter dividers - and these dividers are not just handy play aids, they contain some information that is not in the rulebook. So if one goes with just one set of rules, the real choice is between the binder and the pocket plus dividers (which dividers are, IIRC, out of print, right?).
Thank for the welcome! Thank you for the info!Oh, and one more thing... a belated welcome to the forum Kithikor (your avatar looks mighty nice)!
Not exactly.I thought I heard that the Pocket RB does not contain any Errata to the 2nd Ed. RB.
And that list has all the errata that has been published up to (and including) ASL Journal 10. So the errata from ASL Journal 11 is not in that list.It has all the replacement pages published up to Hakkaa Päällë, and has the list of errata (not integrated in the text).
Chapter F came in West of Alamein and it is not included in FKaC. The 2nd Edition of Chapter F will be published in the updated version of the Italian module.One more thing, if you are buying the Binder RB for the first time, you should know that you do not get Chapters F and G. These come with For King and Country and Rising Sun respectively. So if you wanted to read these rules before investing in the expansions (FKaC is currently OoP), you should get the Pocket RB.
Oops! Sorry for the misinformation - I got mine with WoA, I always assumed it was now packaged in FKaC. One should never assume...:facepalm:Chapter F came in West of Alamein and it is not included in FKaC. The 2nd Edition of Chapter F will be published in the updated version of the Italian module.
When you say "list" I presume that means the content of the Errata (through J10) as well as a list of them, just printed separately at the back (or front)? The actual Errata pages available from the website, perhaps?Not exactly.

MMP wanted to avoid making a 3rd edition : the idea is not to make the Pocket rulebook mandatory or superior over the binder rules.
Except for the dividers, I find the Pocket RB much more handy.
And these are what exactly?...(CGs, HASLs, TPPs, etc.)...

Paper is much more durable. There are pieces of paper from the 2nd century. How many electronic documents have survived from the 2nd century? I thought not.eASLRB is the real answer. Paper is so 3rd century. -- jim
