Hard cover Erde or Aihrde folio?
Does one have information which supercedes the other in terms of cannon, etc.?
For crying out loud, do what you can with the rolls the dice have given you. This is what separates the men from the boys... -Kayolan
The information in the AWD Folio is the current release, so a few things supercede the Erde codex (which was a d20 product for use with 3.x rules set). The most notable are a few name changes -- Outremere is now New Aenochia, the god Demeter is now Ore-Tsar, Erde is, of course, now Aihrde....
I bought the folio first, then later picked up the earlier codex as back-source material.
I know that there is going to be another Aihrde release, some sort of "brown box" which I assume is the folio with a new map from what I gather, for gen-con.

Oh, and the upcoming Shades of Mist module is supposed to really flesh out more of the Darkenfold part of the Cradle of the World.

Oh dear god no. The problem is there is a fairly significant amount of changes from the Codex to the Folio, and not just in name changes either. I guess I should have been nothing that down when the folio was released... erm.

Hmm, I didn't note very many name changes. I know the Trolls talked about making some years ago, but I don't think they made many.
Maybe, I missed them.

It has been a while now, but it seemed to me that a number of names changed including that of dates and timeline events.

I only noticed maybe 4 name changes. All of them were countries. As for the time line I did not do a side by side comparison.

Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

I don't believe there were any changes to date/timelines. However, I do recall a thread where we determined that a typo was either corrected or carried forward between the Codex and the AWD. I can probably find that thread if anyone is interested.

I've been shamelessly throwing my Christmas money at the Trolls for about a week now. (Instant Delivery PDF's rawk!) I own a hardcover copy of the Codex of Erde and a PDF copy of the Folio. I must say that I prefer the Codex of Erde hardback more for explanations and the Folio for the new maps.
IMHO, buy the Codex of Erde and dowlnoad the free maps from RPG Now. I would also suggest you pick up either "Mortality of Green" and "Shades of Mist", or the "Haunted Highlands" bundle.
Sorry, but I won't run the A series until Aufstrag comes out. (If the Trolls keep their schedule and have A13 out in time for GenCon, I'll eat my hat.)

I'd say buy both. I still use my Codex but I do like the trimmed down folio as a primer especially for players. But with the Codex rapidly going out of stock and the D20 deadline for sales ending looming the folio will be easier to get.
I know there will be a follow up product to the AWD folio but it's not been discussed in a while. Mayhaps it's time to shake Steve's tree and see what he says about a new Codex similar product.
