Any update on when the Errata document is being released?

Why not go all the way if your group doesn't want a deadly game? Just say PCs cannot die and any fatal wound drops them unconscious instead. No need to make it complicated.

Why not replace Personality Type with Cultural skills? Add 20 points to each of 13 different skills associated with that Culture.

I'd allow the PC to redirect their action, but I'd probably give them a Dex rank penalty of 5 to represent needing to make a split second change to their plan

Thanks for the additional context and clarifications Jason.

That's not what I am referring to - I mean that some changes which were implemented into the 1.03 book PDF, are not included in the RTF/pdf files linked above. For example, the added sentence at the end of the "Overcoming POW" section on page 55 of the 1.03 PDF is not present in the RTF file. The RTF file is identical to the 1.02 pdf.

Ok so the 1.03 book PDF is available now for download on the Chaosium website, and the files above are definitely based on the 1.02 version of the book. Some of the corrections I specifically noticed in the 1.03 book are not included in these files.

I'll hold out for the errata document to be released, I guess.

I ask because it looks like a number of the submissions on the error/corrections thread are still present in these files.

Does this still contain the 1.02 text or is this the errata updated text?

Yes, but it has to be off the chaosium website, the discount won't apply for dtrpg purchases, for example

At least hold off until the errata document drops to determine if it will bother you. Also, if you buy the PDF Chaosium will give you credit towards a later physical copy purchase.

Fwiw the BRP book gives pretty specific examples for when you might roll vs each characteristic.

I saw Chaosium at Gencon a couple years ago.

Awesome Jason, thank you for the update! I was expecting this to be much further out, I'm excited that we'll get this so soon.
