Question about the Dilettante book, or errata if other want to add to this.

Page 15, Event 16. Is that supposed to say stranger, or is a stringer some kind of slang word I am unfamiliar with?

I have only got to page 16, figured I should post this before I forgot. May have more questions later.
Thanks, Mike

Its slang for a freelance journalist.

I thought that was a four-letter word that rhymes with "pit"....

Mind you British "red-top" journalism is the apogee of the trade!

Also, the cover says "Honesty's a Fool," which is the same tagline as Scoundrel. Probably just a mistake.

I wondered about that..... or maybe its a commentary on fame and the falseness which often accompanies it.

The ship plans are incomplete, areas are numbered but there's no key!

It's a Mongoose map....

...in fact it may be one of my maps, I've submitted some ship designs / maps for that publication. If this is the case I'd be happy to gather together the interior descriptions and make the available in a PDF, providing Mongoose are happy for me to do so.

Ah. Thank you.
I have hard enough of a time knowing American, no way I am going to know English.

I thought that implied that the only difference between the two was the money involved.

Matt? Would be appreciated if you did this.
