Please post any typos/errors spotted in the new (5th edtion) edition of Masks of Nyarlathotep. We will review posts on an ongoing basis, making necessary corrections to PDF files and for future reprints Many thanks

This is NOT a post critical of the supplement. In most respects, I love it... a great world to plunder, the stunts system is genius and Voudou is a great magic system ripe for some rich roleplaying rather than the usual flash-bang effects. But as I run it for my group I am finding numerous issues, typos and stuff just plain missing from the rules. i.e. at a "rules on paper" level it is far from perfect! Some endemic "typo like" issues are in there which I can ignore: The author indicated that it was a mash up of 2 background - one magical, one historical and it shows periodically. Sections of rules that need to be together are spread between chapters. The layout is "challenging" at times, but a proper read and judicious use of post-it tabs and some PDF printing helps gets around that Also there are a lot of "See page XX" references and references to "Bokors and Broadsides" (the old name for Blood Tide!). Now I know it is teh oild name for the system I know the game is referring to itself and not some weird supplement I can't find. So since this is the official "Chaosium" community and the author is on here I thought we could collectivity help to fix it in a hope of building a bit of an errata or help the author with a second edition with some more annoying problems resolved. If anyone has any house rules, links, scenarios or useful tools relevant to Blood Tide - feel free to add them below. I will post a couple below to get started...

This thread is for collection of errata in the RuneQuest Quickstart Rules and Adventure booklet; my hope is that some of these can be corrected or clarified for the 1 July 2017 PDF and print-on-demand releases. p. 7, Strike Rank Modifiers table and Magical Attacks and Strike Rank section: These sections both say that the first Magic Point in a spirit-magic spell does not add to the strike rank of the casting, conflicting with the Spell Strike Rank section on p. 20. p. 18, Spirit Magic section: Says that spirit magic spells usually have duration of two minutes, conflicting with Duration section on p. 20. p. 20, Spell Strike Rank section: This section says that all Magic Points in a spirit-magic spell add to the strike rank of the casting, conflicting with the Strike Rank Modifiers table and the Magical Attacks and Strike Rank section on p. 7. p. 20, Duration section: Says that all temporal spirit-magic spells last five minutes (25 rounds), conflicting with Spirit Magic section on p. 18. Back cover (bottom centre): In the "For more information about Chaosium..." text, "seeour" should be "see our".

Hello forum, just a few things I found in the Revolution d100 pdf. p.45: third paragraph references to a flow chart for advanced combat. The reference is to the table shown on page 52. p.48: Roll for Effect table, 'Attacker' and 'Defender' should be exchanged when reading the outcome p.48: third paragraph, change 'thread' to 'threat' p.50 (explanation): 'Effect of a Simple Conflict' refers to the Combat example on p.41 in the fourth paragraph, not to the example on p.49 p.83: Determining Resolution Points should read: "Calculate basic Resolution Points by adding up a character’s DEX and CON, and divide by two, rounding up."

A thread for mistakes in the PDF manuscript of The Eleven Lights. I expect these will mostly be trivial typos etc. it may be necessary to create a separate thread in the HeroQuest forum for rules issues, but simple rules related typos can go in here for now.

I'm reading through Pulp Cthulhu in preparation for running a low pulp MoN. I noticed two different explainations of the pulp talent: Resilient From the Talent list: (p25) Resilient: may spend Luck points to shrug off sanity loss, on a one-for-one basis. From the Luck Spend to Reduce Sanity Loss Example: (p61) Dirk also has the Resilient Talent; his player decides to spend 10 further luck to reduce sanity loss by 5. Not to be a stickler, as I could make the call based on what works best for my game but was this intentional or is there a specific intent for the Resilient Talent?

Okay, I've logged a number of errors and omissions since the release of the rules last week. A number of these Chaosium was able to incorporate quickly before the book was printed. Not all of them, sadly. I'm talking with them now about getting the PDF updated so those of you with it will be able to get the corrected copy. You should all get some kind of alert when that happens. The top post on this forum has the link to the Google Doc where errata will be kept going forward. But, for those reading this, here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o8MZHsodx3zzFSXGSNaz80DfCZzhuMjjgXILy4L12U4/edit?usp=sharing You'll see that it's nothing game-breaking. Just a couple of little omissions, and a handful of things that were incorrect, or explained poorly. If you have any questions in the future, or find any other errors, post them here, or email to magic-world@chaosium.com Game on!

Magic World Errata View File Errata file for Magic World found online and pasted into a Word document. I have not compiled or checked the corrections and cannot confirm that this is the latest version of the errata for the game. Submitter BigJackBrass Submitted 09/30/2016 Category Magic World  

I just wanted to check-in and see if the errata thread, that was started back over @ Glorantha.com, was ever compiled into an official errata. If not, no worries -- just checking in due to the forum switch over. I'm really starting to dig into HQ:G and am watching Yohann Delalande's awesome HQG game on YouTube and wanted to nail down the rules as I read through them for a second time. Thanks, Jonathan
