All errata

(ft) 17tdoi 64: More comparable to similar footnotes we have written would be "The wording of this section ignores the fact that you may arrive here without passing through the curtain of light." (ft) 17tdoi 179: Since all other places where you are asked for a Meal has you being able to use Grand Huntmastery, can't one just assume that the absence of that option here was intentional? (Even though there is no particular logic to it...)

But correcting illogical omissions is one of our accepted tenets!

(??) 17tdoi 332: You cannot have higher rank than Sun Thane, so the wording in choice one is superfluous.

Errata

(??) 17tdoi 264: So is this badboy immune to Kai-blast too? (Footnote?)

If he's immune to Kai-surge, he's going to be immune to Kai-blast unless specifically stated, surely?


(??) 17tdoi 264: The illustration should be moved down a bit
(??) 17tdoi tssf: There is a slight Magnamund history problem in this book. 
First, unlike what this section says, it was during the Age of War that the 
Elder Magi defeated Agarash and the Age of the Old Kingdoms came afterwards, 
according to the MC. Second, throughout the book the old native Ixians are 
described as an Old Kingdoms race... which they then clearly weren't, as they 
lived a few thousand years before that era.

There are also timeline problems with Voyage of the Moonstone that are unlikely to get fixed. Might want to footnote this, maybe, possibly, but it's possible that this updated information supersedes that presented in The Magnamund Companion, for example. Or that Joe was deliberately vague about this information in one or both of the sources.


(??) 17tdoi imprvdsc: There is a weird bracketed dot in the description of Splinter.

(??) 17tdoi title: Don't forget to update the date :-)
