The Equipment section of book 4 was corrected? - Really?
How about book 5 and 7?
First printings of book 5 used the Equipment section of book 1 (with only the description of the map updated) too. (I also missed a reference to 'safe-keeping' which was included in all other editions of this book in How to Use Your Equipment - Special Items.)
Book 7 used the Equipment section of book 6.
Edit: I guess the correction of book 4 Equipment is not the available download? (Again that's the Equipment from book 6..)

If that's the case, then the "Free Downloads" section on Mongoose's website is incorrect. It lists the corrections for Books 3 and 4 as "Updates for the current printing". Meaning the current printings still have the errors.

Corrected.

Hi there!
It seems my previous questions where overlooked...
Let me apologies in case that I sounded unfriendly or something. - They were only meant to be factual questions.
It's just that the equipment sections of several published books where erroneous.
And it's hard to know from the information I have if they are to be corrected in some way or maybe already been corrected in later printings.
To recapitulate again, what I know is:
*About previous Lone Wolf editions:
- Each Lone Wolf book used to have a unique equipment section.
*About the current Mongoose editions:
- Book 4 contained essentially the equipment section of book 1 (with no equipment) - The published errata was essentially the equipment section of book 6.
- Book 5 contained essentially the equipment section of book 1 (with no equipment) - Also note that in all previous editions the rule of 'safe-keeping' was introduced with this book in the series.
- Book 7 contained essentially the equipment section of book 6.
Are there plans to publish errata for these issues and/or to correct them in later printings? (If only the latter: how do I know if/when I am able to reorder a corrected copy?)
Just for the record: it's not to blame anyone.
It may well be that these issues where overlooked by the author.. (I wouldn't know!) and maybe the author has first to be contacted about these for errata..
But a (correct) errata would be nice, anyhow.

Hi there,
There are currently no plans to republish any books beyond those that have already been corrected.
Hope that helps!

Well, kind of. :wink:
Admittedly it's the least encouraging of possible answers.
But yes, at least it's an answer.
So, a serious thank you for that.

Might have been better to leave the links up for people with uncorrected printings though Matt, no?

Hi, just got the copy of Book 4 I ordered from last week, and have noticed an error, not a game-breaker, just annoying. In the mini adventure in the back, D'Vals action chart is actually Loi-Kymar's from Book 3 (Even though it says D'vals Action Chart at the top. It even has Loi'Kymars name still written in the combat record boxes. Both action charts are the same.
