REMAINING ISSUES<http://www.projectaon.org/en/Errata/VoyageOfTheMoonstone>:
(er) Grand Master Disciplines: "you are skilled in the use of one
of the weapons listed in the Equipment section." Are you _really_ limited to
Quarterstaff, Bow, Dagger, Sword, or Axe? [so: How should this be
re-worded?]
Should we add the list of weapons illustration to the Equipment
section under the "Equipment—How to use it... Weapons" section?
It would work, but is it the most elegant solution to the problem? I suppose adding a sentence at
the bottom of the How to Use/Weapons section that says something like, "A Kai Grand Master might
find the following Weapons during his adventures." but worded better, and then the weapons.png
illustration, could solve this issue. Maybe.
(er) 36, 105: master Kai -> Master Kai
Doing some research turns up some inconsistency in how similar
salutations are capitalized in the books (cf. sire versus Sire). On
balance, they favor the uncapitalized version. I don't mind going with
that. Thoughts?
If it said "mister Kai" we would capitalise it without question. If it is a titular for of address,
I think it probably should be capitalised.
Should we go after sire vs. Sire?
(er) 61: master journeyman -> Master [J]ourneyman
(er) 61: journeyman -> Journeyman [jb] [so: Only these, or other
occurrences of 'journeyman' as well?]
It depends on whether the Journeyman refers to the rank or to the
occupation. Now that I think about it again, I think we can leave this
as-is.
See above for master vs. Master. If Journeyman is being used as a title, it should probably be
capitalised too. All other instances should probably not be capitalised; after all, if we substitute
"carpenter" or "tailor" for "journeyman", we wouldn't capitalise those in such instances. I think?
(ne) All: The copyright at the bottom of the page references Trevor
Newton as the illustrator. Should we remove/comment out this (c)
information?
No, though we may want to add a note to his bio: "Though Trevor Newton
illustrated the original printed edition of Voyage on the Moonstone,
Project Aon volunteers have been unable to contact him to request
permission to include his illustrations. His artwork does not appear
in any Project Aon editions."
I've created a file called tnbiolw.inc and committed it to SVN, but it doesn't seem to get picked up
by the transformation scripts. Can someone fix whatever needs to be fixed to get it to work, please? ;-)
Phew! We're very slowly getting there . . . ;-)
And I've only made it slower. We're almost at the end of the tunnel, I think.
Still working away at the implacable rock face . . .
