in section 95, it asks if you'd like to show your Badge of Rank, all in capitals, as though you have an actual item... Should this be something that Lone Wolf gets in the equipment section? (It is not capitalized in the equipment section). Or should it be considered "flavor" text?
I'm all for giving an official Badge of Rank - 'cause then you see it in the action chart, but it also means you can discard it... Of course, that's about as smart as tossing the Seal of Hammerdal.
Opinions?

I'm no expert but it sounds like it should be a Special Item, if anything at all. It's introduced like this: “Before leaving Holmgard on your ride south, you are given a Map of the Southlands, a badge of rank that you wear upon the sleeve of your tunic and a pouch of gold," and the explicit mention of the positioning sounds like something Dever does with Special Items. However, it only gets mentioned the one time in the text (the one you point to) so it seems like a lot of work for you to do-whatever-it-is-you-do-to-things for little reward.

It's amusing that you are asked if you would like to show it - are you wearing a coat over your tunic at the time?

Have a look at pages 130 and 131 of the Project Aon edition of The Magnamund Companion . . .
In the Equipment section, 'badge pf rank' should be capitalised, yes. I'll fix that now. As to whether you record it on the Action Chart--are you recording the map on the Action Chart?
If someone could make nice new versions of the illustrations for each badge, they could be shown on the Action Chart as an image rather than as a Special Item, I guess!

Yes, I'm counting the maps as special items - you can look at the map by using the item. Eventually, I'd like to incorporate images in the tooltips of inventory items, so that by hovering the mouse over the items listed, you can see a picture of the item. That will have to come later...

It is not a matter of any significant amount of work at all. It just wasn't capitalized in the equipment section, so I ignored it at first, but it is capitalized later, hence my original question.

Awesome, feel free to quiver in fear at my unreasonable demands whenever the opportunity presents itself. More on point, is there anything else we slack-jawed lackeys can do to help you out?

Maybe it is,maybe it isn´t. When the truth is above of all, you got nothing to say.

So, is what you are saying the truth? If so, shouldn't you have had nothing to say?
Therefore, it must all be lies - Lies! For shame! . . . (Actually, what *are* you saying?)

Yes, sometimes the truth is a paradox. We´re here trying to look for a certainty and when we are touching something, it flies away like a butterfly. Anyway all is an illusion. So, nervermind... I remember some lines...
Butterfly of light beauty is fly away when i got the roses. I run so blind to her... Just i got the form of butterfly´s escape.
