Page 110: Rover upgrades table: Comfortable Bunk Beds.

This should have I-III levels since the Cost indicates 1/2/3 CP. So level II beds heals two conditions? It is not explained.

In my opinion, I would scratch the levels and let the bed heal one extra condition. If so, the Rhino on p108 should only have ”Comfortable bunk beds”.

Pages 108-110, regarding slots.

The Crocodile Tracker Rover (6 slots) already has an airlock upgrade. Does that mean it now has 5 slots available, or is the upgrade already counted for?

Same question with the Rhino (7 slots, already has 3 upgrades: 4 slots left?).

Chapter 12, Delving I T A.

Regarding ”Other scanners” (page 118) and ”What is supply” (page 122): on page 118 sentencies end with a period, but not on page 122.

This is, also mentioned by others, a thing throughout the rest of the alpha. I think you have to look into this.

p. 96, 97, 100:
The delving suit and armor tables list the number of "Extras" allowed by each type, but "Extra" is not defined anywhere in the alpha pdf. Is this just an additional inventory slot?
p. 96:
The Light Delving Suit says that it focuses on "mobility and ventilation," but its description goes on to make it sound like it has a worse oxygen supply than the other suits. Why is "and ventilation" included there if there is no actual game mechanic benefit to breathing supply?
p. 100:
No explanation is given for most of the Features in the Armor, Exos & Delving Suits table. If a suit is vacuum resistant, why does it need a filter pack, for instance? What are exo servos? What is an ejector? What is a cargo carrier?

p.26-42:
PLEASE correct the extreme gender disparity in the illustrations for the 8 professions. There are 4 illustrations with facial hair and 2 with facial features I interpret as strongly masculine. The remaining 2 illustrations (Odd Jobber and Worker) are androgynous enough to be interpreted as female, but even those are not unambiguously female. I'm really quite shocked that the character creation chapter is not more welcoming to female players or even to male players who like to play female characters.

’Forward camps’ are mentioned on page 123, but on page 125 only ’delve camps’ are described. Is this the same thing? It is a bit confusing.

Page 123: Supply use table.

What is the difference between Delving and Delving blind regarding supply consumtion?
Delving consumes 1 supply/stretch (which is a marker according to page 119) and doing it blind consumes1 supply/marker. Isn’t this the same thing?

My suggestion is that on a normal delve, the crew moves according to the rules; successes= # of markers and the use of 1 supply/stretch no matter how far they get. Maybe this is the intention?

Page 124: supply incidents table.

Why has the table a 11+ result? It seems as the maximum is 12 (d6+6). So it should be 11-12, or even better: one11 and one 12.

Also: it looks like you can’t roll a 1. With 0 supply you do not roll on that table. So the 1-2 result should be 2.

• "and build atmosphere.." - One punctuation too many.

Page 116:

• "...are measured in markers, used because of the physical distance markers left by early Explorers on most charted delves." - I am not sure the word "used" is needed in the sentence. "...are measured in markers, due to the physical distance markers..." can be an option.

• Some cells say "Roll", others say "Roll for".

• Try changing the width of the columns to make the text stack more nicely.
