Dreamstone sprite Mother 3 Handbook 2nd Edition Misprint

I started playing through Mother 3 so I could get full use out of my new hardcover Handbook, and I’ve been going along page by page as I progress. Near the end of the third chapter section, on page 89, where I assume there’s supposed to be some info about going through Osohe Castle with Salsa and Fassad, there’s an exact copy of page 85 instead, which has details on Pusher and his family. The following two pages are the proper pages.

I’m curious if this is only the case with my book or if it’s a batch of them? In all honesty, I don’t personally find this an issue at all. The info on the page, I’m sure, is negligible enough, and the important details about the battle with the Pork Tank are intact. As far as I’ve seen, this is the only such printing error. I was just wondering if anyone else noticed.

We are aware of it and working to resolve it. Thanks for your post!

Hey, no problem. You guys have clearly worked very hard on this Handbook. It’s been a real pleasure following along with it.

If I preorder for the mid-January shipment, will the book I receive contain this mistake, or will it be fixed for the second printing?

Wow, I just noticed that! Huh. Oh well, doesn’t ruin the experience in the slightest for me.

If your Handbook hasn’t already shipped (in other words, if you ordered before mid-December) then your Handbook will come with the correct page inserted.

If you’ve already got your Handbook, or if its in the mail, we’ll be emailing you shortly with some resolution options. Thanks!

That’s funny, I’ve sent 4 emails since 12/20 about the issue and Fangamer CS hasn’t responded to reassure me in any way.

It’s good to know I have to google-scavenge through your message boards to find any sort of movement on your part, jerks.

Oh, you know what? I’m so sorry. You’re the good guys after all, you don’t have to be responsible as a business, shucks. You must be so busy, I couldn’t REALLY expect you to actually “serve” your customers.

Have another great, carefree day at my expense, really.

Since 12/20? We would have noticed before we left. Were you emailing the right address ([email protected])? Did you get an out-of-office email back? [email protected] doesn’t work I don’t think. What’s your order number? I can search the email if you put it in there.

Email sent! Long story short, if you got a Handbook with a duplicated page you can either request a reprinted page (plus a die-cut DCMC sticker!) or a $5 coupon. If you want us to replace the page for you, you can ship your book back to us and we’ll take care of the rest.

If your Handbook hasn’t yet shipped, you’ll be receiving a corrected copy, so no worries there. However, please note that all of the Handbooks have this problem; there’s not a separate run of ‘corrected’ books. We’re going to start manually cutting out the messed up pages and gluing in replacements when the new pages arrive from the printer’s next week.

We’ve got 3,000 books to correct, so if anyone’s got good podcast suggestions we’d love to hear them…

It’s a page. It’s one, single page out of a high-quality fan-made handbook that was crafted with love. One page being off is not at your expense. You got 99.9% of what you paid for. In most business, such a small error is negligible. You didn’t get sent an old boot in the mail instead of your book, you didn’t get the book months late, you didn’t get some damaged goods or anything; you got a fan-made book that contains a very human, fan-made error.

If your life was thrown off balance by a single page out of a fan-made book about a video game as much as you make it seem with your shockingly rude post, you might want to re-prioritize your life. And if you don’t watch your attitude, I guarantee you’re going to have way more problems on your hands than a single faulty page.

Note: This is solely my opinion so don’t continue being an ignorant so-and-so and blame Fangamer for it.

I’m sure the complaint came as a one-off post from a member who didn’t create an account to stick around anyway. So I don’t think breaking forum rules and getting punished for them will be any worse than not hearing back via e-mail from the fangamer guys.

Besides we don’t know how long (or how many times) he has attempted to e-mail since receiving his book, whether or not to the wrong address. The attitude could have been left at the door but considering the initial impression he already got I can understand his frustration.

And anyway leaping on top of him like a crazed fan-following ain’t gonna help anyone here. Let ‘im be, and I’m sure he’ll get his items sorted, and should he feel so inclined he might find another tempting item among the fangamer stock.

Hi, wasn’t sure if this should be posted elsewhere or if it is already a well-covered topic (I’m sure it’s been brought up before), but there are several item effects currently unlisted in the handbook’s index. These are the missing entries:

Real Bat – PP+50
Mystical Gloves – HP/PP+10 IQ+7 Speed+5
Rubber Boots – Lightning-strong
Barefoot Shoes – IQ+5
Good Shoes – Speed+5
Angel Ribbon – Speed+3
Awesome Cloak – PP+30
Goddess Bustier – PP+20
DCMC Boxers – Speed+5

Ah, thanks so much for posting Mobiusman! I don’t think those errors have ever been pointed out. We’ll add them to the errata for the next edition, if/when we decide to produce one.

You guys have done a wonderful job correcting the error. Just wanted to write that I’ve been extremely impressed by the resolution options and the way everything’s been handled.

As for a good podcast to listen to, I’m a big fan of the Nerdist podcast. Not all of them are super interesting, but there are quite a few really good ones.

Have coupons been sent out yet? I filled out the form right when I got the email, but I haven’t received any sort of communication since then.

We’re working on it, sorry for the delay! The entire process, like most things, has taken far more work than any of us expected, but we’re being super-thorough about everything to avoid further issues :)

    Another spelling mistake… The balding eagle becomes the “blue blading eagle” on page 239. Lovely book, though
