I personally think the bluebkg. text to be read to the players as it is now gives the wrong information to the players in the wrong way.  I have no idea why it was changed, but to fix it you'd have to rewrite the whole thing, and it's not worth the bother.  Honestly, so much of 26 has been changed in ways that I strongly disagree with that it would be more correct just to take my name off of it.  Fixing grammar and spelling is one thing, but, you know, on a "cooperative" project, this kind of heavy handedness with the content strikes me as uncool.I feel much the same way about R. 27 and R. 28, but from a purely objective POV, on p. 42 "straitjacket" is the original and correct spelling which is now rendered "straightjacket."  Straitjackets are strait jackets; they aren't straight jackets, and it's obvious that very little about them is straight if you've ever seen (or been in) one <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />. p. 42 "The vrocks are here to play but attacks intruders with gusto" obviously should have "attack" instead.And just incidentally, on p. 42 Room 29, para. 3 (blue text) should have "altar" for "alter" and "lies" instead of "lays."Also, it's neither right nor necessary to put commas after every adjective in a list of adjectives like "southern, iron doors."  Someone doing the editing painstakingly added those superfluous commas throughout the text.  Most style recommendations, especially older ones, require adjective list commas but _only_ with highly coordinate adjectives.Important tests: Would you say "southern and iron doors" or "iron, southern doors" - no?  I wouldn't either - so no comma.  See <a href="http://www.wvup.edu/jcc/pam/commas.htm" target="_blank">http://www.wvup.edu/jcc/pam/commas.htm</a> for example.  Superfluous, commas, are, just, evil, and, the, idea, that, people, are, wasting, their, time, and, my, writing, putting, them, in, bothers, me.   Clearly many things bother me, but you asked for errata. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
