Welcome to the board, TheH@mM3r!

Ok, here goes. I have separated the edits into chapters, listed the page number, and then a section of the text before and after so it is easier to find. I have underlined the error and listed the type of edit parenthetically. N.B. I use WB as a shortening for word break.
PS. Really enjoying simply reading this Guide, let alone using it in a future game. Thanks for all your hard work...

That's it for now as I took a break while I was waiting for forum access. Now that I have access I will get back to chipping away if this is the kind of thing you find helpful.

This is definitely helpful! Once an updated edition is made I'll print it.

And I know who to run any future documents I make by before I release them. Wink

I think that TheH@mM3r is quickly becoming my new favorite guy.

pg 88 - mysterious character who purposely tries to appear (should be "purposefully" as you are describing his demeanor)
pg 88 - accepting things as them come without (should be "they")
pg 88/89 - The last paragraph for Jet Nebula is kind of repetitive, more jarring than others. Additionally there is an accidental line break near the end of the entry.

Thanks for the positive feedback. No, I'm just an at-home dad with a hobby and a critical eye at the moment (though I am looking). Recently discovered the REUP edition and that there was a dedicated community around this small piece of my youth and started diving back into things. Shootingwomprats, I'd be happy to look at the Droids Sourcebook if you like. I don't have a lot of table-time with the actual D6 system so I am not great at checking statblocks, but I can make sure your fluff reads smoothly and with a consistent tone. Plus, I am one of those people who is annoying about proper grammar usage.

All those skills and you're not getting paid? Yeah, you're an editor alright.

Thank the Maker, this is SO useful!

Apologies, I lost account access for a short time otherwise I would have replied sooner.

Much of what you're catching was the fault of the find/replace function, it tended to remove spaces (?) when running some advanced regular expressions. Thank you for tracking all these down! Keep em coming!

Seriously, I can't overssate how useful this is. Good on ya!

Well from one at home Dad to another, Welcome to the Pit!
I was serious, though, I am quite sure you could pick up online (work from home) editing work with your attention to detail.

Make it three of us in the "work at home dad" category.

But yes. You probably could do some freelance editing.

I also work at a home and I'm a dad (but I work full time for a large corporation with set hours in a production-based environment, and my son goes to an all workday long school so he is not at home with me.)

Some templates would be a nice touch, after all we a a touch thin on the ground dealing with templates for Mandos and Sith, plus things like the Imperial Reclamation Service which exist only in this era.

Since it is mentioned as a prerequisite for a power in the book it would be advisable to finally convert it.

Which power are you referring to?
