Oops, I didn't assign that one as a "bow" shot. I enter the sections sequentially, starting with section 1 and moving up from there. There is nothing in the text of that section to make me think it was a bow shot! (I thought it was a "check to see if you're falling off the bridge" roll.) It's now fixed, so any bonuses from weaponmastery and silver bow will get figured in. Well, the Silver Bow bonus will be OK, on the other hand, I don't think you should include Weaponmastery bonus in this case. This bow shot is especially hard because of rolling bridge, where Huntmastery and Weaponmastery with Bow (Lore-circle of Fire) helps, and also you have to calm your frightened horse (Lore-circle of Light helps). Only then you should add 3 points. From my point of view (and my playing "rules"), I add Weaponmastery bonus only if it is written in section (or in PA footnote), or if there is the sentence "add any bow skill bonuses to which you are entitled" (which IMHO represents +3 Weaponmastery and +2 Mentora missile bonus) For example, in book 8, section 209, you should add only +3 bonus for Animal Control, and/or +3 bonus from Silver Bow, no Weaponmastery bonus in this case. Or, in book 9, section 229, when you're aiming at Giak in the shadows, you get only +3 Divination bonus, and/or +3 Silver Bow bonus, again, no Weaponmastery in this case. |

This is so minor, I feel stupid even bringing it up (but I will.. sorry Dave!) In the Awards for book 6, you have one entitled "Readbeard's Replacement", which should be "Redbeard's Replacement". I love Seventh Sense so much! I've been taking time away from my PS3 (and the kids when they're asleep) to play SS again. Got all the trophies for books 1-6, now onto 7 and then I get to play book 8. Thanks so much once again for this phenomenal piece of work. You're making loads of folks really happy with this, myself included!  |

I could really see the great work by Project Aon on Lone Wolf presented with Seventh Sense selling quite well on the iPad and iPhone. The award system especially would set it apart from the few other digital gamebooks out there. |

This is so minor, I feel stupid even bringing it up (but I will.. sorry Dave!) In the Awards for book 6, you have one entitled "Readbeard's Replacement", which should be "Redbeard's Replacement". No bug is too minor! I personally feel that typos/bad grammar/etc detract from the polish of a work in a big way, so please don't hesitate to point anything out along those lines. "Redbeard" is now fixed for the next release. I love Seventh Sense so much! I've been taking time away from my PS3 (and the kids when they're asleep) to play SS again. Got all the trophies for books 1-6, now onto 7 and then I get to play book 8. Thanks so much once again for this phenomenal piece of work. You're making loads of folks really happy with this, myself included! Thank you for your very kind words. I'm glad you are enjoying it. Honza, In my mind, either something *is* a bow-shot, in which case, you should apply any/all bonuses, or it's not, in which case, no bonuses except those specified in the text. E.g. Having weaponmastery in the bow states explicitly that you gain +3 to *any* roll where you are using a bow. It's like you are so familiar with the weapon that you are able to hold it steadier, aim it truer and faster, etc. I don't see how that wouldn't apply in the situation above. I think the bonus(es) from completion of the lore-circles is in *addition* to the normal bonuses. Plus, because of that thought from my end - I've programmed it to only look for bonuses from either weapons or skills if I specify "This RNT pick is for a bow show". It's kind of all or nothing, the way I've written it. I kind of agree that the bonuses get bit out of hand, such that a Mentora with Weaponmastery w/ bows and the Silver bow pretty much is like Robin Hood - he can't miss! I could really see the great work by Project Aon on Lone Wolf presented with Seventh Sense selling quite well on the iPad and iPhone. The award system especially would set it apart from the few other digital gamebooks out there. There is already a project for iphone/ipad. It looks to be pretty neat, similar to the nintendo DS project. I'm not sure how similar the programming language for iOS is to c++, but if it's close, it might not be too hard to port Seventh Sense. Licensing could be a major issue, though. |

Book 9 is at 20%, if anyone cares to know. Jippi!!! I do care, I already finished book 8 with CS10 and the extra rules CS17 without dying from book 1 (not with CS10, I have died). Book 8 was special for me, for some reasons I hadn't explored it so much in the book, always took the same safe "road" but with Seventh Sense it is so easy to explore new paths Ok found one minor bug, as always with me it is not in book 8 but obook 5. When you refind your items... if you scroll down and then scroll up you miss the first item, not an issue since you can close and click again and you can pick it... picture to illustrate it  |

Not sure this is a bug but if not it would be nice to have alternative rules. Book 8 section 13, last attack if you don't have Sommerswerd. Shouldn't you be able to fight 5 times? now it stops after 4 fights..  |

Shouldn't you be able to fight 5 times? now it stops after 4 fights.. In the next release, there is a choice for the player to make - picking 4 total or 5 total rounds - before the combat can begin. It works quite well. |

Not a bug or anything, just a cosmetic suggestion.  Book 8 section 312 when you get the Giak Scroll as a Special Item, could it be nice in the special item list to see a mini image of the scroll? like you done for most other items? Also this scroll is a red herring right? should be of use in book 13  |

Thanks for the reminder - I do need to update a few items with pictures, like that one.
Book 9 - 99% (The last percent always takes longest...) Really, very little left.

Okay, all bugs addressed *except* the scrolling when picking up recovered items back into inventory. Still gotta look into that - I'll begin the 1.9.x bug report thread with that, so it doesn't get forgotten! In the meantime, enjoy book 9 and report any bugs or glitches you find!
