Error in EPIC Adventure 1??

[Nellkyn]

Not sure where this should go so I’ll try here. Sorry if it’s the wrong place.

While doing some prep for running a game using the two EPIC adventures I noticed what looks to be mistake in some of the system information presented.

The details for the three subsectors in the adventures include the PGB (Population, Gas Giants, Belts) codes for each system. In the first EPIC adventure, Stoner Express, the codes for the B and G portion look to have been swapped. This gives some systems as may as five asteroid belts. I’ve checked against Gateway to Destiny and the second EPIC adventure, which includes one of the subsectors from the first. These look to confirm the swapped data.

Can anyone double-check this for me please? Am I seeing things? Is this an actual mistake or am I missing something?

Be lucky,

Nellkyn

I suspect I know what's happened.

Some of the raw data used for Gateway to Destiny had this error in it. I must have used the raw files rather than the updated ones for EPIC 1. EPIC 2 was done from the Gateway draft and should be correct...

I thought I'd try reviewing it for JTAS, I don't expect they will accept my rambelings, but I thought what the hell ... anyway I noticed a couple of things when I read throught it. I didn't make a detailed list so here are the ones I can recall from the top of my head.

On the Thorstone Subsector, page 11, the Allegiance Codes have Ic as Imperial Client state, while the UWP have Cs as Imperial Client state.

The subsector name to Coreward on the Subsector Map of Thorstone is missing. It should be Outreaumer (subsector N of Ley) I think.

Noticed the BG being reversed.

The reversed BG is in the World Data section too.

On page 14 the description of Spirit of Orlain differs slightly from the Gateway PDF, the one in Stoner Express has the correct population.

Page 23, Act 4 Scene 1, before the last sectance there is a tab that needs removing.

The Scout/Couriers on page 34 and 35 should have Model 1/bis computers.

The Patrol Ship on page 35 should be a type T not a type P (although a type P might be intersting

I haven't read EA1 yet since I'm in a group that's due to play it, but our ship (surplus scout "From the Back of Beyond") apparently came from the book. I noticed that it's the pre-errata first printing THB design, which has got the wrong computer and the dtons don't quite add up. It could do with replacing with the errata'd version.

This would be my fault, not Martin's. The maps are being reworked at the moment, but as subsector maps aren't in the Gateway book they are last on the list, so QLI don't have them yet. The off-sector names like that will be added.
