The Two-Headed Serpent - Corrections Thread

[Mike M]

Chaosium has just released the PDF version of the epic Pulp Cthulhu campaign - The Two-Headed Serpent.

http://www.chaosium.com/the-two-headed-serpent-pdf/

We'll be sending the book to print in a few weeks - but there is time to correct the odd typo which may be hidden away in the text. So, if you do spot any errors, please note them in this thread. 

If you could use the following convention for identifying corrections:

Page number, column 1 or 2, paragraph number, line number (counting down from top of paragraph): "error" - "correction"

e.g.  page 25, col 1, para 3, line 4: "John John went out.." - duplicate of "John" - change to "John went out.."

Many thanks

Mike

On a quick skim, I've so far only observed some very minor glitches, mostly to do with numeric punctuation.

• page 37, col 2, para 7, line 2: "10-feet across" - incorrect hyphenation (not a compound adjective) - change to "10 feet across"
• page 43, col 1, para 7, line 2: "a Hard Dodge roll for each 10-feet" - incorrect hyphenation (not a compound adjective) - change to "a Hard Dodge roll for each 10 feet"
• page 43, col 2, para 2, line 1: "Four-feet across" - incorrect hyphenation (not a compound adjective) - change to "Four feet across"
• page 43, col 2, para 2, line 1: "100-feet long" - incorrect hyphenation (not a compound adjective) - change to "100 feet long"

(See http://www.whitesmoke.com/janestraus_17 for a brief discussion of hyphenation of numeric values in text. The short version: only include a hyphen when forming a compound adjective, such as the "10-foot cube" in the final paragraph on p. 142.)

• page 47, col 1, para 5, line 3: "30oC" - "o" used in place of degree symbol - change to "30°C"
• page 182, col 1, para 4, line 1: "damage 1D10+ 5" - extra space before "5" - change to "1D10+5" (should all be on first line)
• page 203, col 1, para 4, line 1: "1-3" - hyphen used in place of en dash - change to "1–3"
• page 203, col 1, para 5, line 1: "4-6" - hyphen used in place of en dash - change to "4–6"
• page 203, col 1, para 6, line 1: "7-9" - hyphen used in place of en dash - change to "7–9"
• page 213, col 1, para 3, line 5: "52-55" - hyphen used in place of en dash - change to "52–55"
• page 228, col 1, para 9, line 1: "5-10" - hyphen used in place of en dash - change to "5–10"
• page 256, col 1, para 3, line 1: "1928-1933" - hyphen used in place of en dash - change to "1928–1933"
