Additional Errata

There was also a few bits of minor errata in the book as well, so I am taking this opportunity to present you with the corrections. These do not actually effect game play in any form.

pg 53 should read "(Spring) Noted villain Nemo disappears after his ship, the Nautilus,
is attacked by the combined navies seeking revenge for the destruction of so many British and American ships. His whereabouts are unknown to this date."

pg 339 under Excalibur the sentence should read "While appearing to be more than a simple
longsword, Excalibur possesses several unique features which border on the miraculous."

pg 345 The year of the calender is 1888

Sitting Bulls Cabin

Somehow we missed this before going to print, and we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. The following text is meant to replace the text on page 341 of the Gaslight core rulebook.

Sitting Bull’s Cabin

History/Description: Situated originally on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, Sitting Bull’s cabin is a simple three room cabin where the great Chieftain lived out his final days. The door opens into his meeting room, which takes up the entire front half of the cabin. This is where Sitting Bull would meet with his followers, dispensing wisdom, tribal medical cures, and judgments of disputes. The back half of the cabin contains a kitchen and a bedroom. Sitting Bull spent many hours in the meeting room, smoking and experiencing visions that helped him guide himself and his people. After his death in 1890, the cabin was carefully transported to Chicago, where it was displayed during the 1893 World’s Colombian Exposition. It later toured the country for a year, before disappearing off a train bound for a show in Joplin, Missouri.

Special Properties: Anyone sitting in the meeting room that mediated and smokes for 3 hours will experience prophetic visions. Their spiritual guide through the vision will appear appropriate to them, regardless of their background. If a Will Save (DC25) is made, the visions will not only be cryptic, but they will also contain useful information. Failure usually brings visions of the person’s death or their downfall.

Optional rule for spell casting characters

The first thing I want to do is present an optional rule concerning spell casters. Right now they make a saving throw, and if they fail they drop one condition level cumulatively until they pass out. This optional rule does the same thing, but in a slightly different format.

Rule:
Casting a spell of any kind costs Hit Points. The cost is 1 + double the level of the spell being cast: This only happens on a failed save, and is non lethal damage only. This causes all spell casters to lose non lethal hit points until they actually pass out from lack of energy. It works well, and is only meant as an option to those who may not want to use the rules as written.
