by all means add it here.. I haven't seen a consolidation thread on eratta yet?
 
I think a lot of folks have just been busy in the real world (this is my busy season for example, 16 hour days or so), and well, I assume Mongoose itself is busy churning out other product, and waiting for a production gap to handle the errata (Only so much time to go around).

Still, I'll try and find what I've pulled out so far and post it when I've got time to breath and think. :D

Will post up some possible glitches in chronology later when I get a day off ~

Re Game Rules

p118. Spit Pistol has no auto function. Is this correct ?
Shoulder arm spit weapons like the weptek can fire on auto and the hand spit had a similar rate of fire as the weptek in the D20 version. Text in Traveller version refers to a 'high rate of fire'.

p148. No flame thrower is listed in the armament of the Land Raider ( as referred to by Jusge McArthur ). A lazooka seems to have replaced it.
 
Feel free to PM me with any errata. Please ensure it is errata, and not just the way you'd prefer the rules to be!!

I'm out of office until November, so don't expect the errata to go up until then.

Most published material seems to put Justice Central in Sector 44.
Not sure if this is right ( though I need to comb my back progs ).
I thought 44 was the old number of the sector in question prior to the Barett reforms in McGruder's first office. Certainly the Helterskelter story seems to indicate Sector 1 as a possible location .
Anyone got the source of the original Sector 44 reference from the progs ?
 
I might. I just need to get down to that storage area and dig them out. Long drive in this weather though.

Judge Dredd, p. 47, Gun Combat (Lawgiver) and p.49, Drive (Lawmaster): "... rather than at the -3 DM for untrained skill use."

As these are skill specialisations, the 'penalty' for using the non-specialised aspect of Gun or Drive would be 0... so this may need some clarification or correction.

But I also have a question beyond that: It's hard for a judge that felt distinguished from his peers by gaining Drive (Wheeled) 1 during character creation to feel so special when everyone gets the same, simply through standard Lawmaster training. Likewise the player who's chuffed that his judge is a dab-hand with a scattergun.

As I like to play up the differences between character abilities and allow people to shine at different times (particularly in a profession with a narrower range of characterisation available), I can't decide whether to:

1. Ignore the rule above and use the standard 0 level for judges using handguns/wheeled vehicles other than Lawgiver/Lawmaster.

or

2. Bump up the skill of judges trained in other handguns/wheeled vehicles to match/surpass their Lawgiver/Lawmaster skills.

I think I prefer 1.

Any thoughts, folks?
