I too am a newcomer here, and only just received my copy today (although the University Post Office only notified me of it
after I had walked back to my housing...
Hmmm... just flipping through it, I too have some spots where the ink seems to have run dry during the printing process
They arn't consistent with the pages Yskonyn reported, but in mine there are random spots of faded/no text. None of them seem horribly crippling, although I am a bit disappointed as I paid for a
new product...
I look forward to playing against all of you one day (one day after I get this all figured out!).
