Errata - that difficult subject

[vraymond]

So I have in my hands a copy of "MegaTraveller Errata and Clarifications: September 1st, 1990" - is this the FINAL version of the MT Errata, or were there more corrections made? Any help, advice, hints, etc. would be appreciated.

 

[robject]

I think that's the errata that David Smart gathered together, yes? If so, I believe that's the latest and greatest errata.

 

[Cymew]

The complete errata, as far as I know is two documents:

The errata from Swordworlder's site:
http://traveller.downport.com/mt/errata.pdf

and the 1990 GDW errata, at Aramis' site:
http://---.---.---/mt/MTE90.pdf

The latter is newest, but still lacks some items from the former document.

I don't know who David Smart is, though.

 

[Cymew]

Addendum: the errata by David Smart from here:
http://www.mu.org/~joe/traveller/errata/David.Smart.errata.html
seems to only cover Imperium Games version of Traveller, i.e. T4.

Do correct me if I'm wrong, my Google-fu might have let me down.

 

[aramis]

Nope. The '90 sheets on my site are the most recent I've encountered.

Now, if someone sends me word, rtf, vanilla html (b,i, table, ol/li, dl/dd/dt, and p only) , or text, I'll host a consolidation of the two on my site.

I've had a file for a long time dated 4/1/93, with some errata that's not in the '90 set. I'll be posting it to my website shortly. It's not PURE -- in 1996, I edited it to add some errata published in Travellers' Digest.

The pdf is my first experiment in attempting even a pathetic formatting, so comments are welcome. And if people have OTHER errata, I'll add it.

I seem to recall having a total of 3 errata files for MT, each of which had different dates. Lots of overlap, but probably some areas of differences in each, plus some Q&A articles that had stuff that could be considered errata from Traveller's Digest.

I wonder if, without breaking anyone's copyrights, we could create a summary of all of the relevant errata into one place? Hmmmm.

 

[DonM]

OK:

There was the original 1988 errata; then the 1990 errata, and then the '93 material in Travellers' Digest.

That's the three sources I'm aware of; is anyone aware of any more?

I've combined all of that into the new PDF on my site (see my profile). That should help...

 

[aramis]

Don: did you include the MTJ erratta, too?

 

[DonM]

I'm working on that now

 

[aramis]

Don, mind if I mirror your consolidated erratta?

 

[DonM]

Ok, the new PDF is up. And it's large.

I've not only documented the old sources for errata, but I'm going to go one step further: this will be open for additions for any GDW MT product. I've added the COACC errata I had, but that is all the official errata I can find. So if you have errata for other GDW MT products, point me at it.

Aramis - sure, go ahead and mirror the PDF, in case my site is unavailable.

Pretty good job, Dan.
Thanks.

Thanks Don

Why is page 25 blank?

 

[DonM]

Nuts, it's paged over. Ok, That's fixed.
That gives me an excuse to fix the indentation on two tables and add the italics on the heading of another. Done!

 

[aramis]

Thanks, Don.

 

[mctesla]

Great job, DonM!

 

[DonM]

Thanks!

Now the question really is, is there any errata to ADD to it?

 

[mike wightman]

Costs and weights for grenade launchers?

I don't remember if thse ever appeared in any errata, but they are missing from the books

 

[aramis]

Erratta for a bunch of weapons missing from Ref's is in 101 vehicles.
