60: This is really an error. This choice has nothing to do with if you have a weapon effective against a Helghast or not. The Sommerswerd explicitly is needed: ("but the chill of its icy flame is thawed by the golden fire of the sun-sword"). True. Still, it seems an authorial oversight that a player might be carrying a Weapon or Special Item that can harm a Helghast other than the Sommerswerd. While the fix is definitely a kludge, and therefore will remain a footnote, it does attempt to clear up an inconsistency. I agree with Urquan here. It is a major authorial oversight that the player might actually be carrying a weapon that can harm the Helghast, but what is critical in 308 and 258 is whether the weapon can deflect the magical fireball or not - and only the Sommerswerd can do this. Would it be possible to put a footnote in 258 stating that if you used any of the magical Special Items, it isn't actually destroyed, but you drop it and cannot use it for the remainder of the battle. And if the player possesses yet another magical Special Item and tries to use it in hand combat with the Helghast, go to the fight in 47 rather than insta-dying?

Book 16 - section 47.
The two options are : If you possess some food and wish to offer it to them, turn to 122. If you do not have any food, turn to 217.
This doesn't leave room for having food, but NOT wishing to offer it... So, either the 1st choice needs to remove the "and wish to offer it to them", or the second choice needs to add "or do not wish to offer it,". The first of those options forces charitable action on LW's end(not my favorite), and the 2nd allows for the sort of non-charitable or questionable behavior that we find in earlier books(like abandoning the kids in the wagon in book 1. This is my preference.)
Thanks!
EDIT: I guess it would be more elegant to simply change the 2nd option to "If you do not, turn to 217." and this would be consistent with passages asking if you have a bow and want to use it.

I've forwarded this query on the ML; hopefully will have a resolution ASAP.

Dave, the resolution we are going with is to add "or do not wish to offer it" to the second option. Sorry for not getting back sooner.

Sounds good to me. Thanks for the follow-up.

In Book 16, section 330, the choice options read :
---------- If the number you have picked is greater than the number of Arrows you have in your Quiver, erase them all and turn to 268.
If after having deducted the relevant number of Arrows, you still have one or more left in your Quiver, turn to 167. ----------
This leaves no option for picking the actual number of arrows in your quiver... So, the first option needs to read like this : ---------- If the number you have picked is greater than or equal to the number of Arrows you have in your Quiver, erase them all and turn to 268. ---------

Good catch! OK, I've updated the xml to reflect this and this will be fixed in the PA editions the next time we re-release Book 16 (probably when we've resolved the remaining contentious footnote issues in Books 6-12). Cheers!

Oh dear! We really should have spotted that one earlier. Fixed in xml; this egregious typo will be fixed in the online editions the next time we re-release the books (hopefully sometime soon...).

How interesting! This typo occurs in the original text; however, the parallel account in Section 34 of the same book uses "an honest". In fact, "an honest" is used everywhere else in the series. Fixed-in-xml; this change will be present in the online editions when we re-release Book 6. If you see any other niggling issues, please post 'em and we'll get on them ASAP. Cheers!

Two things I noticed in Volume 27 (Vampirium):
Section 139:
One "and" too much (or another word missing).
Section 38 and 194:
I think, this should be "Animal Mastery" instead of "Animal Control", since there is no way to not have Animal Control in the New Order series.

This Animal Control/Mastery confusion exists in the original printed book, though we should have picked it up sooner. Thanks for pointing these errors out to us. They are fixed in the source xml files and these fixes will appear in the online editions the next time we release an updated version of Vampirium. If you spot any others, please post them here and someone will endeavour to review them ASAP.

Don't know whether this has already been corrected in recent versions:
The Masters of Darkness (English): Section 85: ... where he as about to host... Correct: where he is about to host...
Section 254: ... as soon as It begins. Correct: ... as soon as it begins.
Section 317: Items are listed in ALL CAPS instead of Title Case.
Hope this helps.

Section 254: ... as soon as It begins. Correct: ... as soon as it begins. Both already fixed in the source xml. Damn annoying they were ever incorrect in the first place, though. No, right from the off back in the 90s (I feel old...) we opted for removing as much all-caps text as possible (with the exception of statistics). See the PAMoS. It does. Nothing needed to be changed this time, but we definitely appreciate the feedback, and there are almost certainly niggling little things we've overlooked, so feel free to post any more you happen to spot. Cheers!
