Do we need to make reference to Section 22 at all if we make this change to the opening sentence?That sounds rather convoluted when I read it (even though I suggested the most confusing part). Perhaps this would be a better replacement for the second paragraph of the current footnote? "If you have turned to this section from Section 22, you may ignore this statement. You have not lost any of your equipment. Do not adjust your Action Chart." The only place you lose equipment is in _205_ where you surrender.
That is definitely much clearer. So, do we need the first paragraph of the footnote at all? I think your rewording here is sufficient to explain this, Jon.
Also, if we are going to lose the reference to the LWC Newsletter from 181, should we amend the 205 Footnote:
"[+According to the <cite>Summer Special 1985</cite> issue of the <cite>Lone Wolf Club Newsletter</cite>, <quote>the bandits took everything you had, including your Helmet and Crowns.</quote>+] Make sure to erase all items and item containers from your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a> (i.e. Weapons, Backpack, Special Items, and Belt Pouch)."
It is so tempting just to remove "You have lost your Weapons and Equipment, but not your life." from Section 181!
