I’ve finished the CRB in its entirety. Here are the notes I took that have not been brought up in this thread yet. Overall I will say this is a very tight book, few relatively minor issues for a volume this size. Well done to the team!
Most of these are typos you are looking for @Andy-Modiphius, but a couple refer to word order/usage and a few to some oddities to Dune canon references. Use, disregard, or correct me on my ignorance as you will.
Page 3 - In the “If you already know the 2D20 system” box: First paragraph last sentence: an extra “be” in “…you may be wondering what’s different from what you’re be used to.”
Page 7- third paragraph, sentence four, errant “a”: You might also like to have a some drinks…”
Page 7 - fourth paragraph, sentence two, missing “the”: “It helps if gaming area is free…”
Page 28 - First paragraph, first sentence, errant “then”: After more than 10,000 years of Corrino rule, then, the imperium is poised…”
Page 36 - First paragraph in “Atheism in the Imperium”, sentence three, improper use of word “Imperium” should be “Imperial”: “…this idea is so ingrained in Imperium society…”
Page 37 - Paragraph two in the “Faufreluches Caste System”, sentence one: “Landsraad” should be replaced with “Faufreluches”, the motto of the Faufreluches is “A place for every man, and every man has a place”, not the Landsraad assembly.
Page 49 - Second paragraph, sentence one, extra use of the word “spice” and missing verb issue: “Once the psychic and mental benefits of extreme spice usage spice were discovered, prescience and enhanced computational abilities, these qualities became…” can be re-written as “Upon the discovery of the psychic and mental qualities of extreme spice usage which empowered prescience and enhanced computational abilities, these qualities became essential…”
Page 56 - First paragraph in “Spying and Social Manipulation”, sentence two, awkward word repetition: Bene Gesserit adepts are adept at detecting…” suggestion of replacing second use of “adept” with alternative word indicating proficiency.
Page 60 - in section “Suk Doctors”, missing “is” in first sentence: “It is only the completion of the conditioning that a student allowed to graduate.”
Page 114 - In the “Sergeant” section, in the Drives sub-section, extraneous “a”: “…feel a strong a bond…”
Page 127 - Possible mis-reference to combat track in place of a healing activity in the description of ”Combat Medic (Suk Doctor Talent)”: “You may spend 1 point of Momentum to reduce the extended test track of an ally in physical combat by 2 as an action”. This may be correct but I don’t understand the relationship between the combat medic talent and the reduction of an extended combat track of an ally. Perhaps clarifying text would alleviate confusion.
Page 162 - In the Conflict Scope section, second sentence, missing “in”: “The following forms of common conflict are discussed in more detail these rules.”
Page 168 - Second column third paragraph, errant “is”: “The Quality rating of a defensive asset should be is added…”
Page 184 - In the “personal and Political Connections” secant, paragraph two, sentence two, an errant “a” appears: “…or within the courts of a the Major House…”
Page 194 - In the “Kindjal” description, there is a reference to “the Faufreluches days.” To my knowledge, the faufreluches is not a timeframe or era, but a system put in place by the Imperium to regulate class hierarchy and structure. A reasonable alternative if there is a desire to indicate a timeframe of common usage of kindjal’s would be “the Imperial era”.
Page 211 - In the “Debtor” section, second sentence, there is an errant comma after whatever: “Whether it is cash, drugs, or whatever, they have borrowed…”
Page 220 - In the second bullet text of the “Galaxy Game” section, first sentence, the word used is “players” when it should be “player”: “A collector offers the players characters…”
Page 235 - first sentence in “Portraying the Galactic Scale” section, unintended sentence fragment: “Just as Dune can be imposing in its depth, the breadth of that the Imperium, encompassing a vast galactic empire, poses unique…”
Page 237 - Missing “a” in third sentence of the “Gamemastering Superhumans” section”: “The Imperium is not forgiving setting for amateur…”
Page 261 - Another odd reference to the intention of the Faufreluches system, in the descriptive text for Chani Kynes: “Little more than a teenager by the standards of the Faufreluches…”. A measure of maturity (teenager) is not an element of the Faufreluches caste system.
Page 302 - In the “Artistic/Religious House” section, there is a reference to the “Orange Catholic Church” in the “As a Minor House” sub-section: “…that produce personnel for the Orange Catholic Church.” I know of no reference to an Orange Catholic Church in the Dune canon. The O.C.B. as developed by the Commission of Ecumenical Translators is the only “Orange Catholic” reference I am aware of.
Page 303 - in section “Adventure Hooks”, in bullet three, there is reference in sentence one to an “Orange Catholic Caucus”. I know of no reference to an Orange Catholic Caucus in the Dune canon.
