Book Updates?

I've been using the Fallout 2d20 rule set for a campaign for a few months now, and I didn't notice until recently that none of the Errata material has been added. I'm just wondering if books just don't get updates, if this has to do with legal stuff, or if it has just never been brought to the Roll20 team's attention. There are about 3 years worth of changes to the core rulebook and most of which, from what I seen, are just typos, misplaced creature stats, and stuff Modephius copy pasted and forgot to edit. Is there a way I can edit the compendium myself, or am I just gonna have to constantly keep reminding my players to look at the book PDF that they refuse to touch because it's easier for them to ask me when the time comes?

Hi Nopebot, this may sound odd at first, but it's probably the Publisher of the game system Modiphius who would do (or ask Roll20 for) corrections, updates, errata like that. Some person or team was hired to do the Conversion of the Fallout rules into Roll20 format and those subcontracters probably finished their job and don't necessarily have an ongoing responsibility to followup on errata unless the publisher contracts someone to do that. In a sense yeah, it does have to do with legal reasons like you were asking, and I could be wrong about this because there is some variation in how Roll20 implements different game systems (I see Roll20 staff being a lot more hands-on and directly responsive about D&D 5E).  No (nope) there isn't a way to edit the Compendium yourself.  There is a Modiphius forum on their site and contact info for them, if you want to try asking them if they plan to update the Fallout errata on Roll20. 
Darn. Well, sent the email, hope they respond. I've spent around 14 hours trying to fix things from the FCR and the expansion books... I hope they do something about it.

Hi Nopebot! I think the Fallout Material was originally converted by Roll20, but I don't know what the current status is. In any case, yeah, Modiphius probably needs to be contacted at some level. I'll see if I can raise a flag on this.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! We've gotten our hands on the errata content, and we'll take a look at getting that built into Roll20. No timeline I can offer, but it's on our list.
