Scouts Errata?

[BP]

...pretty good for errata compared to the rest of the industry.

I can name several games with gorgeous production values, big names, and truly atrocious errata needs that arose from both poor proofreading and fundamental game flaws. Some of them got the errata attention they needed, and some didn't.

Two of them were even Traveller.

MGT isn't in the same category.

personally i love scout. My other half picked it up in FB3 on Saturday, read it twice already and don't see anything glaringly obvious.

however, i am one of these GM's who reads a book a couple of times and if something does creep in that is missing i just make it up for simplicity.

How was this sort of thing not caught in the playtest for it?

The manuscript more than likely went through several revisions due to playtest comments. Changed names for assignments and such might indicate that the character creation example was written during an earlier draft of the rules and not updated.

Also, things like character creation examples are not always sent out in the playtest manuscripts, since the purpose of playtesting is to test the rules, not to provide an editing pass over the book's text.
