The Official Primetime Adventures Errata Thread

[Matt Wilson]

Like all print productions, Primetime Adventures has mistakes. And like all gamers, you've probably found one. Now's your chance. 

Any mistakes you find, please post them in this thread, and I'll make sure to get them into subsequent printings.

Please limit your posting to actual print mistakes, like typos or apparent formatting errors. If you don't like the way something's written, that's another matter unrelated to the purpose of this thread.

Thanks in advance for cooperating.

Page 55: "protagoniosts"

There is also another case of protagonist being misspelled, another way, but I don't remember where, sadly.

This I might misremember, but I think there is a case of two periods ("..") showing up somewhere. Don't remember the page either, but ought to be findable with a search.

I plan on rereading the book soon, so I'll keep an eye out for more stuff then.

In the sample shows under the descriptions of the protagonists, the beginnings of the description blurbs are inconsistently capitalized.

Somewhere early (can't find it now) there's a reference to dice that says it doesn't matter what kind of dice, but on p. 49 there's a parenthetical note specifying 10-siders.

The early reference to "any kind of dice" (including saying they don't have to all be the same) is on p. 4.  Then on 49 and again on 73 it says that the dice should be 10-siders.

Here are other small matters I found.  When counting paragraphs, I count the first full paragraph on a page as #1:

p. 11, para 1, unnecessary dash between "issue" and "will"

p. 12, para 4, delete "certain" in the first line

p. 18, para 3 is not indented

p. 19, para 1, penultimate line, the word "players" is repeated

p. 25, para 5, "Quarters" should be "Ready Room" (fanboy nitpicking!)

p. 30, on second speech by "Wil," opening quotation mark missing

p. 34, last para, extra space in the word "his"

p. 45, para 5, penultimate sentence needs a ? instead of .

p. 50, last para, comma after "laugher" should be period or semi-colon

p. 70, line 7, "gain a resource" should be "gain a connection."

Hope this helps.

Page 33: Meredith --"...and there's acrisis..."

Page 38: Megan -- ..divorce thatinfluences...

Page 60: Meredith applies a point of fan mail to introduce a cryptic clue about  Brea's past that might be useful story fuel for her spotlight episode.

No typo here but I don't understand how you could apply fan mail to introduce a clue. Might be me.

Page 63: "acheive" should be "achieve"

Page 68: "Truth takes time" is in quotation marks while the other examples are not.

Oh, man, sometimes this thread feels like that scene in The Fisher King where they're beating up Robin Williams' character and he's saying thank you.

Thanks for all the comments. That last one is in quotes because it's an actual line from the show.

And I bet "acrisis" is okay in like Danish or something.

Thanks again!

No typo here but I don't understand how you could apply fan mail to introduce a clue. Might be me.

I read it as Brea's player spending fan mail to roll a die during one of Gustav's scenes, winning narration, and thus introducing her clue.

I may be wrong, though.  It may just be that in the same way you can spend fan mail to insert your character into a scene, you can spend it to insert another story element.
