#1 Somebody at the WotC editing dept needs a smiting.

John Cooper put it better than I can.
Seriously, what the hell? The first thing I saw upon opening Dragons of Faerun to a random page was typos. I rant about it on Monte Cook's forum and get the above link. What do they pay the editors down there for? Sitting around playing fucking solitaire when they're supposed to be running spellcheckers? This is absolutely unacceptable. I pay very good money to Wizards and I expect a quality product in return. Instead, I get a clear slapdash job with the copyediting and game statistics fuckups that a five year old could spot. Somebody is clearly not doing his job, and if I were in management at WotC I'd want to know who and why. Hell, I'm not in management at WotC and I still want to know who and why. I'm wishing I'd had a better look at the book at GenCon so I could have asked about it at the Forgotten Realms seminar; might have gotten some attention that way.
