And with the discussion thread, we also get an errata thread. It is a truth in RPG publishing that there are always going to be mistakes that sneak past proofreaders. If you happen to find one, and no one has posted about it yet, here is the place to put it. Lets help make Rimward the very best book it can be.

Not a book erratum, but the note from PS regarding my purchase of Rimward thanked me for buying Panopticon. :)
Gonna just edit this post as I go!
Page 59 has an editors note in the top right hand corner.

p. 64, top of 2nd column:
"But those who’ve chosen to think in geolog-
ical time are not as common as one might expect."
Presume should be uncommon
Time will perfect matter.
pg. 93 (under 'Northern Diaspora' second paragraph) 'For the egovasting' - should be egocasting.
pg. 95 (under Ministry of Justice and Equality, second paragraph, line 7) 'operations planet-side on Titan to dat' - should be date.
pf. 107 (under University City, paragraph 5, line 6 and 7) "The marmosets were not to have been venomous; hunting them all down took weeks." - Not sure.
pg. 196, "Immigrating to Bright".
The text says "Individuals displaying [COG] scores of 40 or higher...". According to the core rules it is not possible to have aptitudes above 40.
I fixed this, and uploaded a new version of the PDF, yesterday.
Hilarious that the editor's note -- which I wrote -- refers to a sidebar that was cut completely in the end.
(It ended up showing up due to some complicated layer merging stuff that I do late in the PDF production...)
The writeup for the Ego Sharing modification is rather confusing. On the Fenris morph, it is explicitly stated that you need to buy more Ego Sharing modifications to increase the number of egos in the morph. In the Ego Sharing modification section, it's implied that only one Ego Sharing enhancement is needed, and you simply need to add more cyberbrains. This needs clarification, as each has a dramatically differing price.
Transhumans will one day be the Luddites of the posthuman age.
Help me get my gaming fix, if you want.
Also the Fenrir, while having space for 2 egos, only list 1 cyberbrain...
Also, the Fenrirs '4 Limbs' and 'Large Target (+10 to hit)' appear to be bolded.

May I post about a layout problem at here?
p98 and 142
In right framework, background are not wide enough, so it is hard to read left-side characters sometimes.

In the short story, "Into the White", the graffiti "Paska kaupunni" has a spelling mistake. The word is written "kaupunki". While juvenile taggers have a distinct tendency towards illiteracy, I wouldn't expect a highly educated professional to make such mistakes.
Unless it was intentional, in slang / dialect, or the scribbler was someone else.
Also, IMO a better translation of "Oulu: paska kaupunki" to english would be "Oulu: shitty town/city".
I can't seem to replicate this ... what are you using to read the file?
I use Adobe Reader 8... but I retry and it works now. I still not sure why that problem happened a little ago, but it might be my problem.
I'm sorry for all the fuss.

I encountered the same problem with Acrobat/Reader 8. Higher versions seem to work OK.
p. 86:
The two moons in the L4 und L5 points of Tethys are called: „Tethys and
Calypso“, so Tethys is revolving around itself. According to Wikipedia the first one is Telesto.
Page 133, Brinker War inset. Second collumn, third line "and it went escalated from there" th went should probably be dropped. :)
pg. 74 (under Thoroughgood, first paragraph, line 11-12) "Even the Jovians maintain a small and impressively detachment here". Should be "maintain a small but impressive detachment here".
[Edit: Corrected spelling mistake]
I don't know if I would characterize the Jovians as butch, Thampsan, I'm sure they have their share of femmes, too.
Maybe you meant "small but impressive detachment"?
Thank you for that, sometimes my dyslexia gets the better of me.
"The most common weapons mounted are linked HEAP and/or plasmaburst seeker launchers, exoatmospheric plasma beam bolters"
Shouldn't that be "particle beam bolters"? It's a minor nitpick, admittedly.
p.77 Kiviuq Monastery under the habitat description it lists "Population: 50" but in the text's second paragraph, fifth line is "There are only a little more than a thousand people here, ..."
p.81 Marseilles under the habitat description it lists "Population: 800,000" but in the text's third paragraph, first line is "Marseilles is home to some 80,000."
p.84 Getting Around second paragraph, reason to hire unlicensed guide
"There’s only one good reason to hire an unlicensed guide: if you want to find someone. Some people go to Kronos to disappear, some simply arrive and try to vanish, and a good licensed guide may be able to help you find them."
p.106 The Tenor of the Debate
"who quarreled withCustovic over" is missing a space between with and Custovic
p.121 Exemplars
"Those with this level or recognition often" should be of instead of or
p.150 Autonomist Organizations
"best examples for this is the Fissure Gate Task Force" but "FGTG groups can be found"
should be "FGTF groups"
p.184 Titan's Carbon Haze
"Because of this, almost all devices microfactured for use on Titan rely on radio signals instead of lasers. Assume that any gear whose description gives a choice between using lasers and radio for communication employs lasers."
While it could be true as is, I think it's meant to be "communication employs radios."
pg.191 Fractal Gloves
These gloves reference the fractal digits robotic enhancement from the core EP book. It is mistakenly labeled as (p.31, EP) when it should be (p.311, EP).
pg.72 Mental Augmentations
"Current predictions are that the total
number of users on Bright will stabilize at 15–25%
of the population, but that’s a lot number of people
using a technology that may have unforeseen longterm
effects."
Granted, my grammar is far from perfect. But that doesn't sound right? 'but that's a lot number'. 'a high number' perhaps? Not sure.

I noticed that the title of my copy of the pdf is "Eclipse Phae: Rimward".
Eclipse Phase Adventures
Heh ... yeah, minor metadata error. Whoops -- will fix that up at some point. :)
Pg 101: "Valikko served as carbon mining engineer on a team of four" ... "Two of the four victims"
There is one too many victims.
Pg 161 "Several members of Blue Rose are also prominent chrome advocates"
What is "chrome", or should it be "CRAM"?
Pg 182 refers to the use of QE comms for egocasting and gives the page number from the core book. I think we need to know how how many qubits are required for an ego, probably using qubit reservoirs as the unit.
Do the COG score requirements for Bright only allow the raw scores or are the morph and implant bonuses included? What about the skill scores required for Ultimate ranks, do those include bonuses?
Looking at the ship travel time table, and according to the chart mars is closer to mercury than earth, which I believe is in error. As an interesting aside, Average Speed appears to vary between 326,503 kilometers per hour and 730,794 kilometers per hour.
RE Travel times, I don't see the Mercury problem but, Earth is closer to the Belt and Jupiter than Mars, which isn't right. I wonder it is because of how they averaged.
It is possible to Mars to closer to Mercury than Earth depending on where in their orbits they are currently located. Similairly it is possible for the distance Earth-Jupiter to be shorter than Mars-Jupiter. The problem with writing down travel times between planets is that they tend to keep changing their relative positions.

As we head into the era where we release every Eclipse Phase first edition title as print on demand: if you have seen any other items in Rimward that require correction or clarification, please post them in this thread!
Okay, I've been sitting on this one for a LONG time!
Pg. 3 : " KUIPER BEL " in the chapter header should be " KUIPER BELT "
Current Status: Highly Distracted building Gatecrashing systems in Universe Sandbox!
Oh, that's hilarious! The table of contents are generated automatically and then touched up for legibility/clarity ... and I chopped off the " (30–55 AU)" from that header, and also the t.
(Editing the TOCs is always an interesting process, because if you edit them TOO much, sometimes InDesign loses the ability to turn them into hyperlinks, and you need to... start over.)
I know this is a minor issue, but I noticed Rimward maintained a general theme where speeds are written as kph, and context suggests this is a shortening of Kilometers per Hour. The norm for this phrase to be shortened to Km/h.
It is an american thing it is analogous to mph.
