Beta Feedback - Referee's Manual Chapter 2 Your Job As Referee

Tue 20 Apr 2021, 15:07

Please use this thread to report any typos or errors in Chapter 2 - Your Job As Referee in the Referee's Manual of the Beta PDF. Rules to remember:
  • Before reporting an error, please check and see if it already has been reported, and if so, don't report it again.
  • If you want to discuss or feedback something that is not a clear error, don't do it here - instead, please start a new forum post the specific issue.
  • If you feedbacked on something in the Alpha PDF and it's not changed in the Beta, it's there by choice - we have carefully studied all of the Alpha feedback, so please do NOT feedback on the exact same thing again, unless it's a clear typo or error.
  • Please report your feedback no later than May 1. After this date, we are unlikely to be able to make any further changes.

Page 30

"Custer’s Last stand" should be corrected to "Custer’s Last Stand"

On page 32 under NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS

While this sentence is not technically wrong (because the subject, tool, is singular) it does read awkwardly:

"The most important tool in your toolbox as Referee is your NPCs."

My suggestion is to make the agreement between subject and predicate more aligned like this:

"The most important tool in your toolbox as Referee is the set of NPCs."

Alternatively, you can edit it to this:

"The most important tools in your toolbox as Referee are your NPCs."

Feel free to ignore this since the grammar is technically correct as-is.

Pg 33, NPC ammo. "one or more <kaboom> on the ammo dice only (even without pushing)" should be with, if the intent is that the <kaboom> (or 1) applies even if the Ref pushes to re-roll the NPC's attack.

Pg 31, Create you own stuff sidebar. If you can add something like "Likewise, if a PC's concept would call for a different specialty than available in the career, feel free to allow that instead on a promotion." Basically, this is reassurance that the game probably won't break due to minor tweaks for the story. Things like this may also belong in another place in this chapter, maybe under the Players Lead the Way principle or Starting the Game, but it needs to be said to the GM. Otherwise, you get the questions about how one gets Redleg or Boatman or....

  • On page 30 in the "Death of a Division" text, paragraph 3, "Probably your life scrolling before your eyes." This colloquialism is typically phrased as "life flashing before your eyes" or "life passing before your eyes." "Scrolling" brings to my mind the act of scrolling through an app on your phone, which feels anachronistic.
