I found an inconsistency in Mydnight's Hero, if not exactly a problem.
Section 288, looting Sadanzo's inner sanctum: the (paper) text says,
'From among the vast array of treasures hoarded here, there are only
three items that catch your eye: a Golden Hunting Horn, a Jewelled
Tankard, and Sadanzo's Seal. These three treasures are all Special
Items. If you decide to take one (or more) of them, you must carry them
in your Backpack. You must discard a Backpack Item in the favour if you
already carry the maximum number possible.'
Here, the items are defined as Special Items (which take up a Backpack
space), clearly.
That's why we changed the text here, and in other places in the books that make similar reference to
Special Items being carried in the Backpack. According to the Equipment section
<http://www.projectaon.org/en/xhtml/lw/23mh/equipmnt.htm>: "Special Items are not carried in the
Backpack."
And so this
creates a small inconsistency at Section 277: 'If you possess a Golden
Hunting Horn, turn to 164. If you do not possess this Special Item, turn
to 9.'
Perhaps a footnote at 288 to clarify that these are Special Items, which
take up a Backpack space? Or perhaps the text at 277 could be changed
to, 'If you do not possess this item, turn to 9'?
Since we're removing any confusing reference to Special Items in the Backpack, the best way to fix
this would be to alter the text to "If you do not possess this item..." I've updated this in the xml
and the /test/ version, and this change will be present in the next edition of the book. Cheers!
