Page 75. Quality of items.

Reference to a table on page XX. But the table is right below the text.

Page 64, the table titled OPPOSED ROLLS IN DUELS.

The table is missing the row what if your opponent has more successes?

The text under the DUELS says that "the fighter with the most successes wins", so I think the table should have at least one more row. For example, with the title "your opponent gets one more success than you".

Also, what happens if the opponent gets extra successes? Does he get extra damage as well?

Page 71, CRITICAL INJURIES table

I find the presentation of the Time Limit column misleading.
Writing B Days somehow suggests to me that B is supposed to be a number.

My suggestions:
  • Could there be another column labeled Equipment or Medical Equipment?
  • Or could the time limit be written as "Days, (B)". or "Days / (B)"

Page 70, Critical injuries section

Order of text explanation and columns is not the same.

The order of columns and what appears in the text do not correspond to each other. It would be easier to read and look up information if the order would be the same for the table and the explanation. Recovery Times is explained first, Lethal Injuries later, while their order is different in the table that follows.

Could you list the table columns and the explanations in text in the same order?

Not all columns from the table are highlighted in the text.

Another issue is that not all columns are referenced/highlighted in the text. Penalty is column but is just briefly mentioned in the intro. With the column names missing / not highlighted the reader needs to read the entire text to find information pertaining to time limit and penalty. When highlighted it would make looking up information easier and faster.

And if you want to talk about multiple columns in the same piece of text, could you still include/highlight both column names in the text? So the section now saying LETHAL INJURIES could be LETHAL INJURIES and TIME LIMIT.

Maybe it's just me, but using the search function, I couldn't find any description of what to do with ENCUMBRANCE. Does that affect dice rolls? Is it something that restricts certain PCs from using certain weapons?

I think you are right, can’t find it either. In a ”normal” Free League game I think you must roll for Endure if you are encumbered. A failed roll means you have to drop items or stand still. Can’t remember how often you must make the roll. Should be mentioned on p30.

On the "Crash Results" table on p.79, result number 4 reads "Several of the windshields are busted." A car only has one windshield, so I think this should read "windows".
