Hi all

I saw a recent post from Wizards, saying they will errata come source material to better reflect diversity and correct some bias in material.

I welcome this, but... the article mentioned Fantasy Grounds specifically (and rolld20)

If I have a printed book, then the errata will be for me to use if required, but the article seemed to imply that some material would be automatically updated via FG

Is this correct ?

It doesn't specifically mention when changes will be made.

Look at the product code in the bottom of the store page of the product you're interested in keeping as-is. Then go to the <FG app data>\vault directory and look for a file called <product code>.dat. Make a copy of that and store it somewhere safe. This file is specifically tied to your account. Then, after you do any updates in future, see if the file in the vault directory has been updated, and if it has use your backup copy to replace the new file in the vault directory.

Or, never run an update, which isn't really feasible.
