A Time to Harvest - Corrections Thread

[SaintMeerkat]

p. 249, Column 1, Paragraph 1, Sentence 2 -- should be "...never took to military life." The roleplaying hooks section implies that he was a member of the 4th Marines, so "army life" wouldn't be appropriate.

 

[SaintMeerkat]

p. 251, Handout: Harvest 21 - The lab letterhead should say "Federated Oil & Chemical"

[SaintMeerkat]

p. 252 - Where's My Space Suit Inset - Paragraph 1, Sentence 1 - should probably be "the near vacuum of space..." or "extremely thin atmosphere on the Moon." or something similar.

 

EDIT: There is one more occurrence in paragraph 2.

I think this one is a judgement call.  After all Shakespeare had "Let them be whipp'd through every market town till they come to Berwick, from whence they came." - Henry VI pt 2.  Similarly other great writers such as Dickens and Trollope for example have used "from whence".

EDIT: Since this thread is for reporting errors, and not for debating grammar issues or editorial policies, I am going to limit my further comments to just errors.

Thanks SanitMeerkat - we will review and correct as necessary.

p. 29 Anti-Bacteriological Misters section —— Biologically, viruses aren't prokaryotes. So either taking out viruses or use "any prokaryotes (bacteria) and viruses" instead would be better.

Small mistake in the beginning of the campaign, I think (I haven't read the whole thing, so I might be surprised!)

Anyway, on page 22, under The Visitors, the mi-go are refered to as the "main protagonists". 

Should be "antagonists", or is this campaign something entirely different from what I expected? 🙂

 

[Mike M]

Hi, yes that's an error - should be antagonists.
