Just bought the Book of the Warlord and it looks beautiful; after just a quick skim I've already seen a lot of stuff I'll be implementing. Even though my group has just phased into the Boy King era there is so much here I'll still be able to use - in particular "Appendix C: Creating Warlord GM Characters" will be useful throughout the campaign. Oh, and we finally get a picture of Duke Ulfius! Major kudos to Taliesin and of course Greg.
However, until a separate errata topic is created I thought I'd post here with what I've spotted so far:

(p. 100-101) Part of the text seems to have disappeared in the Assize of Arms.
(p. 154) Appendix B: Random Noble Determination. "During the Anarchy or Boy King Periods, use Table 5.1: Random Tenant Table on p XX." Table 5.1. is on p. 96 and is titled "Baronial Replacement".

Admin, feel free to move when applicable.

G'ah! Here's the missing text:

6. Moreover, let each and every one of theM swear before the feast of St Hilary (13 January) he will possess these arms and will bear allegiance to the lord king, Arthur, namely the son of King Uther Pendragon, and that he will bear these arms in his service according to his order and in allegiance to the lord king and his realm.



(p. 154) Appendix B: Random Noble Determination. "During the Anarchy or Boy King Periods, use Table 5.1: Random Tenant Table on p XX." Table 5.1. is on p. 96 and is titled "Baronial Replacement".

Ack! Should be "Baronial Replacement Table"

EDIT: Nope, sorry, that's wrong. The Baronial Replacement Table was excised altogether in the late stages of the review, and this is one remaining reference to it that was missed. That line will have to come out, or we'll have to issue a separate list. My apologies for the inconvenience! Thanks for catching it.


Thanks! We'll get it corrected quickly — before the PODs hit the store!

I tried moving this post to the Errata but it won't move. We've been experiencing other weird things with the forum software of late, and we're anxious for the upgrade to 2.1, not in beta. In the meantime, please note that there is an open forum for Warlord errata. We'll be issuing corrected versions on Sunday, which may mean a light delay for the POD versions.

Baronial Replacement Table is correct, Taliesin, and IS in the book, as it should be.

The Random Tenant Table was removed altogether, and all references to it should have been replaced by the Baronial Replacement Table.

Appendix B is written a bit clumsily. The way I'd use it in Anarchy & Boy King would be first to roll on Appendix B to get the rough idea which area the warlord is in, and then use the Table 5.1 unless it is a guy who we already know of. For instance, if I roll Ulfius (Duke of the Vale), who we know survives, then I don't have to use Table 5.1, since it is a valid result. Or for Count Roderick (Count of Salisbury), I can use the Countess & Lord Robert. But if it is a warlord who died in 495 and we have no idea who seized the power in that barony, then use Table 5.1.

Minor Errata:
In Appendix B, the Duke of Clarence and the Duke of Glevum are separate persons, while they are actually still part of the same Duchy of Glevum under Duke Eldol the Old. Now, this is actually OK for Anarchy and the Boy King, when that Duchy splits up. So I wouldn't actually correct it, but an asterisk would be nice in Clarence to mention that during Uther Period, it is still part of Glevum?

Ah—you're right, sorry. This has only revealed a different problem then — the Tables index is wrong. I need to add Baronial Replacement table a on p. 96. I'll fix the index tomorrow along with the first update.

Sure, we can do that. Tomorrow!


Keep 'em coming people. For those of you wanting the POD, you may want to wait till we fix this first round of errata! Seems like no matter how many pairs of eyes we have, and how many hours we collectively spend scouring these texts, a few things always get through!

Nothing like some public commentary to entertain our troops :)

Actually, as long as the old Duke is alive, HE is the only duke.
His two descendants are not dukes until Eldol dies, early in Uther Phase, and the two petition King Uther to be the duke.

Greg, I thought Eldol survives until St. Albans, since he appears in GPC during year 494. The splitting of the Duchy happens after St. Albans as Heli and Chaleins scramble for pieces of the Duchy, thus splitting it to Glevum and Clarence.

Another couple of quick errata note related to Eldol, in the Castles appendix:
p. 116, Birchwood Castle: Eldol's title is given as 'Duke of Clarence', should be 'Duke of Glevum' as it hasn't been split yet.
p. 118, Hillfarm Castle: Same as above.

Grrr... the amount of times I went through those place-names... :o

Folks,

There was a ridiculous amount of corrections, edits and clarifications done during BoW. We are placing and naming a huge amount of property. Populating it. Tracking the changes. And we converted all the names to the New Pendragon Naming System which has some "wiggle room". There are bound to be some errors still left and they would be my fault.

If anyone has questions about locations, put them in the forum and I can assure you an answer will be forthcoming.

There's a dedicated errata forum for the Book of the Warlord, I tried moving this thread to there, but it didn't work. So I'm locking this thread. Please post all future comments in the errata area.

As an aside, I've made all of the corrections requested above. They will appear in version 1.1, which I'll submit later this evening.


Thanks,


T.

Well, look at that!
