Leave as a footnote, but maybe change ours:

Current: "Make sure you note your possessions elsewhere in case you
should find them later."

Suggested: "Take note of your lost possessions elsewhere in case you
find them later."

Change current footnotes:

Current: "It may be reasonable to restore half the ENDURANCE points
that you lose in this combat if you win (note what happens if you
lose)."

Suggested for 20: "Restore half of any ENDURANCE points that you lose
(fractions rounded down) during this combat if you win or evade (note
what happens if you lose)."

Suggested for 135: "Restore half of any ENDURANCE points that you lose
(fractions rounded down) during this combat if you win (note what
happens if you lose)."

Also, move the footnote marker in 20 to before the combat.

Agreed that we should leave as footnotes.

Leave as a footnote.

Leave as a footnote.

Given this, I'd argue that the footnote is unnecessary.

Leave as a footnote (but get rid of the comma).

Leave as a footnote.

Change our footnote:

Current: "Since you are in the middle of a wasteland, you may not use
Hunting to get out of the Meal requirement here."

Suggested: "You may not use Hunting if required to eat a Meal in the
middle of this wasteland."

Remove "There is no alternate way to proceed through the adventure."
from our current footnote.

Leave as a footnote.
