As a teenager, an angry goose charged at my oncoming vehicle. I ran over it. It got up and chased me. 1HD is accurate, I think.

Re: Equipment Emporium Supplement
My current R30 includes corrections for all the things Al mentioned above, except that I have not added a description for the small strongbox, nor corrected the source page numbers for the Animals table.
Hope to get to that soon and release a new copy right away.

Re: Equipment Emporium Supplement
BTW I need to double-check the fonts for the they/them/their transition; for some reason, some of them are in fact in the wrong font even with Soutane BF loaded. I'm not sure I got them all.

Re: Equipment Emporium Supplement
OKAY, so... the only sensible thing to do with EE at this point is to remove page number references from the "Source" for animals etc. I'm going to put out a new release, and I'd like someone else with sharper eyes than mine to call out the places where there are still any page number references to the Core Rules. Also, I'm replacing "Field Guide Volume 1" with "Field Guide" (or variants thereof); if there are still volume number references, I need to know where they are.
Announcing!
Basic Fantasy Equipment Emporium, Release 30 -- May 28, 2023
This is not a print release candidate, not yet. We have three issues I need help with. First, all references to the "Field Guide Volume 1" need to be changed to just "Field Guide" as we have no idea how the CC version will be organized. Second, all page number references to the Core Rules, Field Guide, etc. need to be removed; they may be added back at some later date but for now just need to go. Last, there may still be a few words here or there that are not set in Soutane BF font that need to be found and fixed. Any help in finding these issues would be much appreciated!
