[Shin Yodama]

Pg 42 Minobu Tetsuhara is the wrong ethnicity.

Pg 163 The Wendigo of Kisho Novacat does not correlate with the artwork.

[Alex Keller]

Version: Initial PDF

Pages 70-71 - Entry for Nicholas Kerensky is in wrong section.  He's in Clan Invasion instead of Star League era like his contemporaries. 

Page 123 - Artwork for Cameron St. Jamais' AWS-10KM has old ComStar insignia instead of the Word of Blake broadsword.  Heresy!  :D

[Pat Payne]

Pg 41

The Targeting and Tracking info in the stat block is showing the "Lorem Ipsum" placeholder rather than the correct info.

Pg 42 Minobu Tetsuhara is the wrong ethnicity.

In fairness, it could just be that the art didn't convey that Minobu is ethnically black rather than someone instead drawing him as Japanese/Asian.

From a FB Group, Stephen Strangways pointed this out.  (Says he's waiting to hear back about his Membership here.)  He asked me to make this known/mention it for him.  We're Both Hoping this gets Corrected before the book is Printed.   :thumbsup:

Katherine Steiner-Davion entry, p.104

SENTENCE: "Her most successful creation, Khan Alaric Ward, combined genes from Victor and Katherine herself; in official records, Alaric’s genefather was said to be Vlad Ward."

PROBLEM: Per Children of Kerensky, chapter 18 ("As the genetic offspring of Katherine Steiner-Davion, her brother Victor, and
Vlad Ward..."), Alaric Ward is now considered to have at least some of Vlad Ward's genetic material in his makeup as well. In addition, in order for Alaric to be eligible for the Ward bloodname, Vlad Ward would have to be his genemother and not genefather.

- - -

Alaric Ward entry, p.156

SENTENCE: "...her own DNA as his genemother."

PROBLEM: As it has been established that Vlad Ward is Alaric's genemother, the term here should instead be replaced with "genefather".

There's conflicting source material on that - Bonfire of Worlds has a passage where Alaric notes that he'd hoped Vlad was his genetic ancestor, but it turned out not to be true.  Katherine acknowledges this by noting that others could see through "Vlad's little deception."  From that, it appears that Vlad cooked the books on Alaric's codex to make him eligible for the Ward bloodname, but isn't actually physically there in the mix.

I should clarify that I asked Philip about this, who ran it by Aaron.
This is, to use a popular term, a bit of a retcon.
But yeah, it directly goes against A Bonfire of Worlds and Masters of War.

EDIT: Though since this might spark discussion, further talk of it should probably happen in the errata discussion thread.

p.77
Picture of Timber wolf show mech in colors of Alpha galaxy (clan Wolf 3058), but Vlad Ward pretty much all the time served in/with Golden Keshik, (from Rock in 3049 till death in 3083).

Golden keshiks have two canonised camo schemes for them:

Early one

The Golden Keshik

uses the same scheme as Alpha Galaxy: a brown or reddish-brown paint scheme, with dark accents.  Accenting their machines and armor in gold is the Keshik’s only nod to special colors or insignias.

Per FM: Warden Clans, page 158.

later one

The Golden Keshik
On occasion, The Golden Keshik paints its machines slate gray, with dark blue-gray trimming and small gold highlights. When not using appropriate camo or designated scheme, Wolf units paint their equipment in flat grays.
Canonized by Adrian Gideon & Pendragon on 11/22/2007.

solution: change art' green color to grays or drop pic out at all? 
PS. Galaxy emblem should be removed too.

Alys Rousset-Marik entry, pg. 126

THE SENTENCE: "Alys passed away peacefully on her Augustine estate on 14 July 3143, surrounded by family, including her grandson Thaddeus Marik, Knight of Augustine."

THE PROBLEM: Thaddeus Marik died dueling Alaric Wolf on New Olympia on 23 September 3139, so unless he's a time traveler or Alys is seeing a ghost, this doesn't work.

THE FIX: End the sentence at "surrounded by family", or indicate that Thaddeus is in fact a ghost and/or time traveler.

MAD-7S Marauder entry, pg. 155

ARMAMENT
------------------------------
2 MAGNA FLARESTAR SNUB-NOSE PPC WITH CAPACITORS
------------------------------
2 CLAN TYPE 9-A ULTRA AUTOCANNON/10
------------------------------
1 CLAN SERIES 2F EXTENDED-RANGE MEDIUM LASERS

Should, going by the art and fluff text that follows, be one UAC/10, not two.

[Kojak]

BL-18-KNT Black Knight, pg. 159

SENTENCE: "crippling three Zibler hovertanks before they could even each engagement range."

CORRECTION: "crippling three Zibler hovertanks before they could even reach engagement range."

[ShroudedSciuridae]

p. 8

"when Charles was commissioned into the Star League military"

More than a century too early for the Star League, replace with Terran Hegemony.

p. 25

"Don Ramage"

As a native of Trell I, Ramage only has a single name (The Price of Glory Ch 6, "Known only by his single Trellwanese name, or affectionately as "Ram," he had earned both the respect and love of the troops under his command.") Unsure where Don came from. Delete Don, perhaps add in explainer similar to Sharyl's later in this story.

[Xotl]

Page 43:

Over the decades, the Kat has been regularly upgraded with modern technology. Refit in the mid-3050s to a -10KA and a generation later to a -10K2, just prior to the invasion of the Federated Suns it was brought up to the new -12KCD standard, leaving the centuries-old machine with cutting-edge capabilities.

The -12KCD does not appear to exist.  Replace this with "the new -14R standard".

Version; 1st Print Book

Page 18
--Position/Rank: Khan
--Affiliation/Unit: Clan Jade Falcon

Change it to:
Position/Rank: Major (Star League-in-exile); Khan
Affiliation/Unit: Star League-in-exile; Clan Jade Falcon

Page 20:
--Position/Rank: Khan
--Affiliation/Unit: Clan Wolf

Change it to:
Position/Rank: Major (Star League-in-exile); Khan
Affiliation/Unit: Star League-in-exile; Clan Wolf

Page 45
-- Armament:
--"4 Diverse optics TYPE
--18 medium Laser"

The "18" of "Type 18" is misaligned and should be correctly in the same line like "Type", it can be misread as "18 medium lasers".

Page 80
--"Jump jets were a critical parf of"

The word "of" is placed far away from the word "part" causing it to be misaligned.

Page 62, Table of Contents, Ulric Kerensky
--"Kerensky" is misspelled as "Kerensy"

That typo isn't in the printed Book

Pages 70-71 - Entry for Nicholas Kerensky is in wrong section.  He's in Clan Invasion instead of Star League era like his contemporaries. 

Agree, shouldn't be in the Clan Invasion era.

[Kojak]

Abdoun Ricol's Marauder MAD-7S, pg. 155

THE SENTENCE: "Mystic Tiber Rosse, however, clutched his head and howled in agony[...]"

THE PROBLEM: Per Heretics of Faith, Mystics can't have Bloodnames.

THE FIX: Change "Mystic Tiber Rosse" to "Mystic Tiber"
