What is the actual difference between blue and black cover versions of Compendium? The black one has 20+ more pages, I know that much.... but what about the content?

I don't know - I don't have one yet! =]

I do know that some rules are reworded, because I have had discussions online about some rules that are worded differently in that version. I suppose that it incorporates at least some of the errata, since it is slightly newer.

FYI I have had an offer for my extra Deluxe Edition box, but if for any reason it should fall through, I'll let you all know.

If the Blue one says Second Edition, not too much. If it doesn't, then tons of things changed. :)

You can compare errata to see what disappeared between them:

From what I understand, there are very few changes between the Blue Second and Black Second Compendiums. Unfortunately, I don't have a Blue one to compare with. :(

Well, one thing that I know changed was page numbers. Unfortunately they didn't see the need to update the index between v2.0 (blue cover) and v2.5 (black cover), so the index in the black cover book is completely useless.

Well, yeah, they changed the fonts, sample graphics, borders, etc. giving the book a new layout. The Errata mentions that the index is useless.

I meant: there are very few rules changes between the two books. ;)
