1st Edition Card Errata

Nore Lucre

We are terribly embarrassed that the First-Edition cards have misspelled Ms. Lucre's name. As everyone knows, the correct spelling is "Nora" (with an "a") rather than "Nore" (with an "e"). We thought that by now everyone in known space would know how to spell her name, but it turns out the Tlisk we used as a printer had trouble with the foreign spelling.

Hostle Natives

There has been rampant speculation that these are natives of the planet "Host", or that the natives of this planet have a highly developed Youth Hostel program. Sadly, none of the stories is true. If you look closely at the card, it is obvious that these Natives are pranksters, kleptomaniacs, spread disinformation, and tell bad puns (a phrase which some may find redundant). Naturally, the correct spelling should be "Hostile" (with an "i").

Antarian Kittens

The image printed on First Edition cards is only the upper left quarter of the actual image. That is, the image you see is 4 times the size it should be and three fourths of the image is missing. Although this provides an artsy cut-down-the-middle-of-the-face look to the Antarian in the picture, the "Kittens" concept makes no sense. In the actual image (say, like the one we saw on the proof sheet), the Antarian you see is holding a toooo cute kitten in her lap. The orange-colored fur at the bottom of the image (including what looks like a smiley face pumpkin) is actually the hind quarters of the kitten, with the rest of the kitten off screen below and to the right.
