I'm sure this has probably already been put out there, but I recently started 2079 in my fed and updated to the 2079 Cosmos card. On the back, the reversals say THANTOS - 1 or THANTOS - 2, whatever it may be. I guess its a good thing the classic sets game out, after the main story :-)

SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE NOT UP TO 2100 (or so) (highlight if you want to see the hidden text):
Just think what would've happened if Tom had made Killing Machine's card say BOUNTY HUNTER.

I've noticed lots of typos on the Promoter Madness cards.

The vile vial, for example. On a related note I will not be appearing in the National Spelling Bee tomorrow night.  |

The problem is that spellcheckers won't catch cases where the choice of word is incorrect, rather than the spelling.
'Vile' is a perfectly good word, for example. It's just the wrong word. A grammar check should catch it (because it's an adjective being put where a noun should go), but a spellchecker won't. And neither would notice 'marital arts' in place of 'martial arts'.

When I was in grad school for public relations (never finished that, thank the gods!), our advisor always told us to check each and every instance of the word "public" with our eyes, not with spell check, because if you leave out the "l", you get a very different term! |

So what exactly are the other errors on PM cards? I'll have a look when I get the chance. I've done some proof-reading work in the past. |

So what exactly are the other errors on PM cards? I should've said the PM booklet. Who cares anyway though...no big deal. Everyone did a wonderful job putting that together. |
