Errata and Clarifications on 8/04 text

Hi all.

This is my thread to go "oops!" in. Other people feel free to post asking for textual clarifications, etc.

The big problem here is that I made some terminology changes but the ghost of the old terms still haunts the text. These are:

1) Frost Maiden (player role) -> Ice Maiden
2) Player Character -> Protagonist
3) Non-Playing Character -> Secondary Character or SC
4) Dawn (Light subattribute) -> Sun
5) Passion (trait type) -> Fate

I'd be happy to talk about these changes in terminology, some of which I'm not too certain about, but that's a different thread.

Supporting Character? (I feel we've done this before...)

Oh, yes. We've done that before.

Okay, our first piece of meta-errata: Supporting Character, not Secondary Character. Or really, whatever it says when the term is first introduced in the text. Both abbreviated SC.

Hey Ben,

I can't open the Polaris link. Is it me?

No, it seems to be me, too. Hmph.

The good news is that that page only contains a little text blurb now. Polaris now exists as a pdf, which I think I sent to you. Did you get it?
