The file is named DFRPG - Vol 1 - Your Story Early Bird Preorder Edition.pdf

The creation date says April 1.  I read that it was updated in May. Also their is a Fake postit that says that an updated version will be out soon.  So if this is the old one, how do I get the latest?

Will the latest, match my book when it comes out?

Thanks in advance for your answers.  This is the first Fate game I have purchased, and it seems amazing.

I can't answer all of your questions, but I know that the books have actually been printed, though not 'finished' per se (see the DFRPG web site for details).  From what I understand, the current pdfs are the finals.

You're right, you've got the older version. The newer versions are completely finalised pdf versions of what the actual books will look like, and they have a different filename.

Yep. Your version is outdated. I really don't know of any way to fix that, personally, but I bet someone will be along to help you out. Evil Hat's customer service is downright supernatural.

Thanks for the confirmation that these are old.  I have sent Dicehouse an e-mail to let them know of the problem, hopefully they will be able to get the correct files and update mine ASAP.  Any big changes to the rules from the original PDF's?

Too many changes to count.  I'd go to the evil hat Dresden Files RPG site and ask for help there.  They are very good at it.   ;D

I just received an e-mail from dicehouse games (my FLGS :) ) and they told me they are updating their files and I will be able to get mine updated when I come in.

Thanks folks for your help.
