Well, just looking at the Preview PDF at the moment, but "Hysterical Strength" (on p. 136) appears on the Contents Page (p. 6) as "Hyaterical Strength".

On Page 115, the skill 'Gambling' is listed as IQ/AV. I suspect a typo as the categories are supposed to be E, A, H, and VH.

In addition, I notice that the character sheet has a 'Parry' square, Moloch von Zinzer has a 'Parry' stat, but I'm not finding a skill or a sub-stat called "parry' by itself.

I see Parry Missile Weapons.

Am I missing something perhaps, (I tried a search but didn't find anything in the brief time I tried.)

I'm pretty sure the Parry listing is for the character's best or most common melee skill.

In GURPS and Powered by GURPS, you have a separate Parry number for each weapon skill and unarmed combat skill. Each number is based on your skill level, with several potential modifiers. The space on the character sheet is for recording the Parry number you expect to use most often.

Thank you for the tip! It wasn't clear to me as the character build initially starts with the basic stats, and the basic lift calculations etc., then has the chart for ST, thrust and swing but no mention anywhere in that section about Parry.

Now that you pointed it out, I looked more in the book and found Parry mentioned in the combat section, so it *is* there, just not where I was expecting.


I do wish *all* the listed characters from the books had their point value listed along with the stats. It helps someone who is not so familiar with GURPS (like myself) figure out how those characters were built and get a better feel on how it all comes together. But that's my quibble. :)

I admit to only skimming the characters, as I'm not familiar with the comic. Which ones are missing point totals?

It may be intentional, but Almost all in the 'Other characters' section. Jenka seems to be the exception, though her bear matches the rest.

Kind of trivial, but on page 29, the verb tenses seem mismatched:

"She soon shoved Othar off the airship for reasons that would be obvious to anyone who has to spend time with him."

Would "has had to spend time with him" be better?

P23, column 2, end of 2nd paragraph says: "See Guests of Castle Wulfenbach, p. 18."

The "Guests of Castle Wulfenback" sidebar?/boxed text is p23, bottom of 1st column.

There is no "Guests of Castle Wulfenback" on p18.

Contents correctly lists "Guests of Castle Wulfenback" on p23.
