Page 83 on the Gryphon College Ground Floor map.

Rooms 19 & 20 aren't on the map.
Rooms 22 & 23 are on the map twice. I suspect one pair is supposed to be the missing 19 & 20.

Any timeline regarding the availability of the hardcover version?

A few more I found. Hopefully you already know about these or it's still in time for the hardcopy to get updated.

Page 121 # 18. I believe you meant to say "In similar fashion to Isara (#10)" since #10 is the Tomb of Isara Lankôr.

I realize the following might be to keep the map from looking cluttered, but I thought I would point it out in case they aren't.

Page 87 #66 is missing from the map.

Page 88 # 88 is missing from the map.

Page 123 #15 & #20 are missing from the map.

Page 125 # 39 is missing from the map.

Page 140 #6 is missing from the map.

Also on page 140 in the paragraph associated with #6 you say "If held before the panel, the ring will project a fan of light" I think you meant to say pendant, not ring, since the text refers to the Sea Drake pendant as the key to the lock in question.

That's as much as I noticed on my first pass. Starting a second pass now, so I will post anything else if I find it.

Great. So, I've held off on buying the .pdf because I don't want to have to buy the same thing twice (once for the .pdf, once for the hard copy). Will there be an option to buy both at once?

Worth the wait, it's a good update to the product.

Many more NPCs in Haalkitaine 2.0, along the lines of Eidolon: people of reasonable level who the PCs might encounter. Also many more groups. I am trying to work out an encounter chart for running into these people in the city. Head hurting; need more coffee...

Jaiman print editions have been approved by printer; should be seeing proof copies any day. I'm also working on the updated PDF.

Also I posted a new poll.

My poll answer is "none of the above." I use the pdf in order to read it on my iPad. I like having my entire RPG library wherever I am. I also use an app called Liquid Text which gives me an overlay on the write protected PDF allowing me to mark it up, highlight, and make notes in the margins. I could do that on a hardcopy, but I hate the idea of marking up books.

I also always buy a hardcover copy, because my Rolemaster library is the pride of my book collection.

Good to hear!  As of this reply, I'm the only one who doesn't buy the PDF.  I love my books.  I love my collection.  I love having the hardcopy to browse through.  I read in bed and I like to unplug when I do so.

Statting Haalkitaine NPCs... they are going on FOREVER:o

I better take a break and do the final Jaiman PDF. Do you want the RMSS stats pages rotated? Hopefully we will get the RMSS conversion guy to go back to the previous format so I don't have to do those pages sideways. Urgh.

In general rotated pages are a pain in the arse. I have most of my rules at the gaming table on a tablet pc so when I rotate it the screen helpfully rotates back again until I remember to lock the screen.

Yeah for some reason this time around the converter added profession and other info on the combat line, making it too long to fit. No Idea why he did that, but hope to get him to go back to the way he had been doing it for years.

Ugh, dragging through more NPC stats. Haalkitaine is up to 216 pages. Lots more material, including adventures, tombs and catacombs.

Need more coffee...  :'(

Eagerly awaiting proof print copies of Jaiman!  ;D

You're a bigger tease than my ex-wife!   I can't wait for both of those modules.  :worthy:

I've just sent the updated PDF with errata included to the editor. When it is uploaded, people who already bought the first version should get a notification and can download the update free.

Print files went out last week and I should see proof copies any day. There should be hardcopy books (Soft and hardcover) available at the UK con Dragonmeet. Yay!  ;D :D :o
