Scanning all of the books for occurrences of "my lord" reveals that uncapitalized is used most often which actually is in contradiction of our Manual of Style. I'd suggest we change our MoS and standardize on lowercase "lord" except when next to a person's name. The exception would be "Kai Lord".] |

It doesn't seem to be used as a proper noun in most cases, except when it's named "the Throne Chamber of Andarin". In the cases where "Throne Room" by itself is capitalized, maybe we should add the "of Andarin". I'd also capitalize cases of "Throne Chamber of Bor".] [so: Fixed tssf: "throne chamber of Bor -> Throne Chamber of Bor"; and 41/294: "Throne Chamber -> Throne Chamber of Andarin" only.] |

(e.g. 'Record this Weapon on your Action Chart', but 'The Giak has no weapon'.)" we should not do this in 2 or 110, but make the changes in 127, 163, 174, 258, and 285.] [so: Also made changes to 55, 109, 112, 167, and 292.] |

"Inquisitor-Major -> Inquisitor-major" in Book 23.] [jb: I've seen this handled in many ways, so I think we just need to establish a standard and stick to it. For example, we use "Lord-lieutenant" in 02fotw, but I've seen it "Lord Lieutenant" in real life. Other real life examples which seem fairly standardized include "Governor-General" and "Inspector General" while "Attorney General" is sometimes "Attorney-General". It seems like we're bucking the trend by uncapitalizing the second word though.] [so: In the past, we have been going with Upper-lower (e.g. Chaos-master, Inquisitor-major, Lord-lieutenant). While this may be a little idiosyncratic, I'd be inclined to continue using this standard in the remaining books as an overall style that we have adopted. (Else, we should go back and reverse all changes we have made, which sounds very un-fun.) I'd personally, therefore, go with "War-thane", but I'm open to suggestions.] [jb: Hearing no objections, let's stick to our guns then. War-thane.] |

[Or, "DANGER! -> <strong>Danger!</strong>"] [jb: I don't like using bold or italic text, at least not in Lone Wolf. We'll eventually need to come up with a good alternative there. A changed background color?] [so: Personally, I don't like the idea of a changed background colour--that's far more distracting than bold text, IMHO.] [jb: Yeah, what was I smoking that day? I'd suggest simply this: "DANGER! -> 'Danger!' "] |

(er) | 25, 146: | you drop your Bow -> [lm: but you don't lose the item, right?] [jb: There's a similar situation in 146. Honestly, I don't know whether you lose it or not. Seems like you could pick it up after the combat in both sections, and it doesn't definitely say that you lose it like it often does, but maybe you're still supposed to lose it? The reader is going to have to make the call, but should we footnote it to let them know?] [so: In situations like this in other books, we've substituted 'shoulder' for 'drop' since it's usually clear that the Weapon is not discarded, and this would obviate the need for another footnote.] [jb: I'm ambivalent about changing this, but it's probably the right way to handle these.] [so: Fixed 146 this way, but 25 is problematic. Added a footnote instead: "As the wording here is rather ambiguous, it is up to you to decide whether to delete the Bow from your Action Chart in this instance."] |

(er) | 155: | If you possess Assimilance, [lm: you must have assimilance to reach this section] [jb: Then I guess they're going to get the bonus to the RNT. ;) The best way to fix this that I can think of is to remove that entire sentence and change the choices from this: > If your total score is now 3 or lower, turn to 47. > If it is 4 or higher, turn to 162. To this: > If the number you have picked is 1, turn to 47. > If it is 2 or higher, turn to 162. > Or we could just leave it alone and let everyone who gets here get the bonus. Thoughts?] [bk: Technically 0-1 and 2-9.] [so: The following would be less invasive: "If -> As" : "As you possess Assimilance, add 2 to the number you have picked."] [jb: "If -> As" is brilliant.

Thoughts? Also I suggest we alter the format of the item list here to match other item lists by removing the bold face and making it bulleted like this: * Korlinium Chainmail Vest (This Special Item can be worn beneath your tunic.

On the other hand, the simple and simpler versions have a very noticeable difference in line height.

(er) | The Story So Far: | Vorka horde were -> Vorka horde was |
(er) | The Story So Far: | Drodarin dwarves of Bor -> Drodarin Dwarves of Bor [jb: Leave as-is. "Drodarin dwarves" occurs only four times in all of the books and always capitalized thus. I think of it as analogous to "Sommlending men of Holmgard" or similar.] |
(ne) | The Story So Far: | chaos befell the Darkland armies -> chaos befell the Darklord armies [so: We have been correcting this to Darkland armies for consistency across the books.] |
(er) | The Story So Far: | I am proud to accept the quest.’ -> I am proud to accept this quest.’ [PGS: Original version doesn't scan as well IMHO.] [jb: Maybe, but the original is fine as-is.] |
(ne) | The Story So Far: | em-dashes should have a space to either side [PGS: Omitting the spaces (as indicated in the Manual of Style) is contrary to the book, and also IMO looks far worse than including the spaces. I realise most grammatical guides probably indicate no spaces either side of an em-dash, but personally I've always thought this to be a mistake, except where dialogue is being interrupted. For correct line-breaking, the preceding space should be non-breaking, while the following space should be normal.] [so: See Wikipedia for more information. As we are following the Oxford (serial) comma, we also follow the Oxford non-spaced emdash. As it happens, I find this more aesthetically pleasing than spaced endahes, anyway. Adding non-breaking spaces increases the complexity of the code unnecessarily, IMHO. Spacing also becomes a problem when typesetting justified text either online or in epub/PDF versions.] [jb: I'm with you on this one, Simon. I might like a bit of space surrounding the emdashes, but this is too much. I think we should leave this alone.] |
(ne) | The Story So Far: | War-thanes -> War Thanes [PGS: Should either go back to the original version, or add this new version to the Manual of Style.] [jb: I vote add it to the MoS. Here's the context for why we changed it: <http://www.freelists.org/post/projectaon/Errata-Sprint-Addendum-8-Welcome-Back-Jon> ] |
(ne) | The Story So Far: | Sun-crystal -> Sun-Crystal [PGS: Should either go back to the original version, or add this new version to the Manual of Style.] [jb: Also add MoS. The general principle is that only the first letter of hyphenated compound words should be capitalized (cf. what we've done with Lord-lieutenant).] |
(ne) | The Story So Far: | ‘... the greed of King Ryvin’s elder son, -> ‘. . . the greed of King Ryvin’s elder son, unless we are able to overcome this creature ... and swiftly.’ -> unless we are able to overcome this creature . . . and swiftly.’ Zorkaan failed to kill Lone Wolf ... but he was able -> Zorkaan failed to kill Lone Wolf . . . but he was able [PGS: Corrections in line with both the book and style manual. Also note the extra space after the ellipsis in your version.] [so: Fixed the trailing space. Respecting the ellipsis character, we settled on this way after quite some experimentation, and I think this is the happiest compromise we could find. With three separate periods, spacing becomes a problem when typesetting justified text either online or in epub/PDF versions.] [jb: Yeah my typing teacher would shoot me, but using the single ellipsis character rather than making a composite with periods saves a lot of headaches. I've gone ahead and struck that section from the Manual of Style.] |

The uncapitalised phrase "two-handed weapon" appears in Books 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 26, 27, and 28. The capitalised phrase "two-handed Weapon" does not occur in the series.] |

I suggest for all New Order books (except of 21) this: Completion of Lone Wolf adventures (Books 1- 20) is not essential for the successful completion of this New Order adventure. Completion of previous New Order adventures (Books 21 - 2x) may be advantageous, but it is also not essential for the successful completion of this New Order adventure] |

Maybe in the other sections where you can acquire it, but maybe it's better to leave it uncapitalized there because it should really be recorded as the "Andarin Warhammer". Thoughts?] [so: Probably can Reject these proposals, since the proper name for the Special Item is the Andarin Warhammer.] [jb: Hearing no further input, let's reject them.] |

Footnote?] [jb: It seems odd, but maybe that EP loss is from the fatigue of the last fruitless attempt that makes you throw up your hands and walk away? In any case, I don't think we have enough to go on to change the rules here.] [so: Marked as Rejected, but one to keep an eye on for when Mongoose finally re-release this book.] |

I'm not sure if this is what you intended, but the way I see it is basically anywhere a collective noun is referred to with a plural pronoun in the same sentence, the verb should be plural (except in very rare cases where the plural pronoun should be changed to a singular).] [tp: That's more or less how I feel about it, yes. It's interesting to note that "hit" vs. "hits" is the one and only difference between sections 57 and 143. Padding, Mr Dever? :-P] |

(er) | 197: | more than half of his army are -> more than half of his army is [tp: Agreed <collective> = singular (e.g. "a horde comes"), in most cases.] [bk: I would say the meaning actually changes depending on whether we go with the original or the proposed change. As written, I'm imagining various members of the army independently going missing until more than half are unaccounted for. With the proposed change, I'm imagining a single regiment comprising more than half the army going missing. Which meaning do we want? (Perhaps if we want to clarify it as the first meaning, we should change it to something like "more than half the members of his army".) ] [tp: I don't see it quite that way. I do agree that the singular form implies the missing troops are aggregated in some way, but that could be lost in a single battle, deserted en masse, or just "all missing because of this Agarashi business". :-) ] [so: Let's leave this to Jon to arbitrate.] [jb: Since it could go either way with no strong bias toward one or the other, we have been leaving these as originally printed.] |
