Major Rakal's Card Errata List

12/18/99

This list includes:

(1) Premiere cards whose game text was changed in the Beta printing (1995 copyright notice). Corrections to typographical or factual errors in the lore are not included, as they have no effect on gameplay. These changes are marked [Beta].

(2) Other cards which have been reprinted with changes (white-border preview cards which were changed in the black-border printing). Such changes are marked with the set in which they were reprinted.

(3) Cards which have official revised text (errata or clarification). If no source for the revision is marked, the card has not been reprinted, but the listed text is the official current wording for that card, as given in the Glossary or Current Rulings.

(4) A few miscellaneous items such as the official "translations" for Dixon Hill's Business Card and Qapla'! (from the Fajo Collection Rules Supplement) and the two versions of Amanda's Parents (the one in the Revised Text column is considered the correct version).

In most cases only the changed portion of the game text is quoted, unless the entire text is fairly short. The rest of the game text is assumed to be unchanged. In particular, for changes to personnel skills boxes, only the changed skill is given. [SD] stands for the Special Download icon.
