Hey guys...I'm sure most of you have seen me talk about this, but I just wanted to let you know it's up on the Nexus now (just in time for the release date!)
It's in the Unofficial Rules section on the "Role Playing Articles" page. Click here for a link to the errata.
Just thought I'd let y'all know.
I tried to keep them short...but there were a few (and they were usually the "subjective canon" entries) that I felt I may need to explain myself a little bit.
Feel free to give it a "review" on the Nexus, too. :D
An unofficial errata for the AoM is in the works right now. I can pretty much guarantee that it won't be anywhere near as long as the DLCS, what with less hands in the pot, in house "editors," etc.
I'm about 25 or so pages into it and I only have 2 sold entries (and two I need to research). That is so much cleaner than the DLCS, it's not even funny.
Although from what I understand there's a "Mahere" I need to keep my eyes open for in the AoM.
That's interesting. I guess those enworld guys just kinda keep an eye on dl.com or something, huh? (along with everything else, D&D related)
Did you see though...a miniatures book...with feats and stuff? That seems odd. I'll have to check it out though. But I need to save money for the Bestiary of Krynn and the Draconomicon. Those two will put dents in the ol' pocket book. heh heh
And only a select few made me cringe. Half-orc! Half-orc! Aaargh!. :D
Brilliant work.

Well seeing as how most of those enworld guys are also here...;)

Thanks!
My personal favorite was the fact that Iyesta was never the right color in there...except maybe once.
Oh...and entries 58-60 and 81-83 kinda hurt my head. It took me a while to figure out exactly what was meant there...and where the mistaks were made. But, I think I captured the true intent of those sections...I think.

I don't know whether Morrus or Eric Noah frequent the Wizards boards, but that wasn't what I meant either.
I was talking about those ENworld boards members who are also regulars here and might submit news scoops to EN. And there's a lot of those.
Rosisha, crusing the Red Robe section of the boards! LOLOL
ask so that i may serve better =)
Also correction 64 should not be elf to human. She was in elf form. And technically it should read dragon.
I mean, is it just me (not that it couldn't be, of course) or did they just forget to put in the most important city in Abanasinia on the map?
They don't even bother telling us anything about Haven, even though, as they state, it is the largest city in Abanasinia................
the latter of course could be attributed to the fact that facts about the city might be included in the age of mortals book, but leaving out the city on the map is outrageous.
Has something happened to Haven that I ought to know about, since I've only read as far as "Dragons of Summer Flame"?
anyhoo, it bothers me you know, it really does.....
by the by, thx for a great errata, omg wizards need to attend grammar courses............. :D

Just one note, Are you sure "House Magus" is an error? See, the members of House Mystic are the magic users in Silvanesti. However, Mystic is now a spellcasting class, and a divine one to boot. I would think that such a retcon would be necessary to avoid confusion.
I wondered that as well.
However, in the Silvanesti write up, it is still called House Mystic (not Magus) so I assumed it was a mistake, not a retcon.
But, as you can see...this is unofficial...just more of something to tide you over until an actual errata for the book is completed by the WotC guys.

Actually, when the dragon Heart to on mortal form, it was the form of a human named Gwynneth, not an elf...at least according to the book, Legend of Huma. And I see what you're saying, it could be changed to dragon...but it says right afterwards in the book, "who is actually a silver dragon named Heart." So the only mistake was calling Gwynneth an elf, not a human...unless one takes LoH as non-canon.

Well, Haven is mentioned as being the largest city in Abanasinia (under the "Capitol" entry). But, these geographical write ups are very high level in nature (as are the maps) so it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. We'll get the much more information later...in the atlas for sure...and Haven, I can almost guarantee, will probably have a write up in the next Age-like book, the War of the Lance. And what's to know about Haven, really. I mean, the only time it was ever really influential was the century or so just prior to the War of the Lance, before that (and since then) Solace has really been the big name in Abanasinia.

No prob.
Of course, I should point out that very few (if any) of my entries are grammatical in nature. I didn't feel those were necessary for the type of errata I was putting together, which was more concerned with world cohesion than anything else.

It is my impression (and only that) that you may want to italicise that entry in a future version. Btw, it was indeed a great work Tobin. Looking forward to the AoM one.

After reading the part where Huma met Gwynneth it seemed she was half elf. "The silverish hair", "almond-shapes eyes" and "Overall she did not look quite human, and Huma suspected she drew much of her beuaty from elven ancestors."
So I guess we were both wrong hehe
BTW You can find this on page 58(last paragraph) and on page 59(midway down).
there are no recorded half goblins/hobgobs in DL. AFAIK they only exist in kalamar.
Anyway, this was on page 14 col. 1 par 3. heading.
Now granted, I'm only a novel reader and bought the DLCS just for extra reference, but always I thought elves were tall, around 6 feet tall. In Dragons of Autumn Twilight isn't Solostran described to be tall, even for an elf, and was quite an imposing figure? And 90-100lbs? Ok, maybe if they were 5 feet tall, but at 6 feet they'd weigh at least 130lbs don't ya think?
Anyway, maybe I've been mistaken all of these years; let's see that would be 12 years.
Any of you have a take on this?

Well...I did a little more digging into this and everywhere I looked, it was always called "House Mystic" (even in an earlier callout in the DLCS) except for that one weird obscure reference in DLCS where it's called the "House Magus."
Even the AoM write up on Dalamar says "House Mystic."
So...I don't know...should that be an issue of canon, or be treated as a mis-type in the DLCS?
And thanks...the AoM one is moving right along. I think it's going to hav alot less entries.

I think you were more right than me though.
Legend of Huma as far as I could find, never specifically calls Gwynneth an elf, or human.
Dragonlance Adventures calls her a "mortal woman" only.
TotL, Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home, 5th Age SAGA, DLCS all call Gwynneth an elf. And I forgot to check Wings of Fury. But it would seem that majority rules on this one.
I will remove that entry.

Just started reading through my copy of the DLCS and noticed that the second clan dwarves are called Daegar.
Yep...I completely missed that one.
Thanks! And because of this catch, I actually caught another one in the AoM that I had missed. Almost all references in the racial write up on dwarves in the DLCS left out the "r" in "Daergar." So, as I double checked the AoM...they got it right (in the Tarn write up) but accidentally called the two dark dwarf clans the Daewar and the Theiwar. Oops!
Anyway, thanks!Usually there are three things in Dragonlance that one must always take with a grain of salt:
The Iconochronos, history, creation, etc.
Dwarven clan names.
...
Hmm...last night when I was thinking about this...I had a third one, but I don't remember it anymore. I suppose one could say the "Timeline" again...but that's not what I was thinking about.

Ok, something else caught my eye as well. I was reading through the racial descriptions of the elves and came upon the Qualinesti and Silvanesti. The Qualinesti are said to have an average height of just under 5 feet and the Silvanesti average 5 feet.
Right...this kinda bothered me as well...I didn't see elves as this short. But in 3e...they are. So, I left this one alone.
Oh well, I'm just a novel reading so I can still picture them as tall.
At 5' tall aren't they just tall afflicted kender? :D
