The previously available PDF of
Campaigns was for 5th printing, published in April 2011. The new one is for 7th Printing, published January 2020. I've been running them through a
PDF comparison ("diff") tool, which seems to work OK, once you point it at the right sets of pages. Page 2 of the 5th printing file corresponds to page 3 of the 7th printing file.
Title page: Correction to alphabetical order of artist’s names, indication of 7th printing.
All the following changes are in terms of Basic Set page numbers, which start at p. 338. Where I list adjacent pages individually, I mean that the changes are entirely on that page, and no text moves between pages.
P. 338: Changes in staff positions at SJ Games, change of copyright and printing information.
P. 339-41: Tiny changes in leading of contents pages, no change in meanings.
P. 342: Adjustment of layout, complete re-write of section “Other Support and GM Tools”.
P. 383 Last sentence, changed “p. 547-559” to “pp. 547-559”.
P. 406 Under “Shields”, corrected the cross-reference to “
Slam (p.368)” to “
Slam (pp. 371-372)”.
P. 414 Under “Explosions,” corrected “Use torso armor to determine DR against explosion damage.” to “Work out DR against explosion damage as explained in
Large-Area Injury (p. 400).”
P. 428 Under
Agony, corrected “High Pain Threshold lets you overcome the agony enough to function, but at -3 to DX and IQ.” to “High Pain Threshold lets you function at -3 to DX, IQ, skill, and self-control rolls; you still lose FP.”
P. 456 Under “Chimpanzee” re-write of description to “Territorial and aggressive, chimps (particularly males) may attack for no apparent reason.” and inserted “Semi-Upright” into
Traits.
P. 487 Removed the footnote referencing the
Munchkin RPG. Layout changed significantly, but no effect on wording.
P. 494 Complete rewrite of the large box “Gaming Online.”
P. 520 Line 5 of the first column of the box “Travel Between Game Worlds” has gone missing. In 5th printing, it said “… different place or time, and play a different character in …” and it looks as if it still should. I’ve reported errata.
P. 527 Under
The Thousand-Year Reich, corrected “exists on five known alternates in Q4 and Q5.” to “exists on five known alternates in Q3 through Q6.”
P. 562 Under
Example in the first column, corrected “If they ask 120% of the fair price and get a “Bad” reaction, the NPC will offer half of that, or 50%.” to “If they ask 80% of the fair price and get a “Bad” reaction, the NPC will offer half of that, or 40%.”
P. 564 Corrected “major wound” from “A single injury equal to half the target’s HP or more. See p. 420.” to “A single injury exceeding half the target's HP, or any crippling injury. See p. 420.”
P. 566 Complete re-write of “Ludography”.
PP. 570-575 Corrections to the index.
PP. 343, 345, 350, 352, 358, 359, 364, 377, 379, 383, 394, 394, 400, 401, 402, 403, 405, 409, 420, 421, 423, 427, 428, 434, 435, 436, 437, 440, 442, 460, 461, 464, 467, 469, 480, 486, 493, 494, 495, 513, 515, 516, 527, 528, 531, 537, 538, 540, 545, 546, 552, 554, 561, 567 and 569: Adjustments to layout, no change in meaning.
P.576 Advertisement for e23 and Pyramid changed to one for
How to be a GURPS GM.
A challenge to the pedantic: there is an utterly trivial new erratum in 7th printing, which I've carefully reproduced above. Can you find it?
Addendum: I'll do the same for
Characters tomorrow.
