Sloppy editing in The Edge of Night?

By UniversalHead, in WFRP Gamemasters

Looking at the map key on the second last page, there's a reference to a place called 'The Waterfall' which I can't find any reference to in the text. There's also no location for 'Bridge House'. Mansions for the Aschaffenbergs, the von Bruners, and Holzenauer are noted, but there's no location for the 'Old Brauer House'.

How I wish they'd get Andrew Law back to do maps. His were so superior to any maps we've seen so far for WFRP3 I can't believe it. C'mon FFG, stump up the cash and get him back!

Some incidental errors like 'Borgun' being spelled 'Borgin' ...

And then there's this bit under 'The Guest List' which frankly I can't make heads or tails of - any ideas?

"A good starting place is to make a single Charm, Guile, or other suitable check for each major family during each 15-minute event. Success sways one "unclaimed" NPC to their side and advances their agenda one space. Then, do the same for either Lord Heissman and Margrave Reinhart every other event as they re-evaluate the situation and move to block all the contenders. If the majot player for a given family is otherwise distracted during a given period, a secondary character (such as Ludmilla, Olga, Wolfgang, or Florian) can act in that noble's stead."

I realise this is supposed to describle the main mechanic for moving the Agenda Tracker and thus determining which of the noble families has the most favour of the Powers That Be in Ubersreik, but this description seems very unclear to me and I'm not sure how to put it in practice. What does 'block all contenders' mean, for example, in game terms? It's all as vague as get out, as we say in Australia.

It seems fairly straightforward to me.

This part of the adventure gets put into 15-minute event blocks.

- Every event block make a single Charm/Guile/etc check for each major family. This quickly represents general conversation with the members of the faction.

- Every other 15-minute event block, make a check for Lord Heissman and Margrave Reinhart with each family. Those two NPCs have reevaluated the situation (how the PCs are doing), and attempt to block/counter the PC's influence on the families.

"Block all contenders" is used to mean they are attempting to counter the influence that other contenders (the PCs) are having with the families.

I'm sorry, it sort of seems clear and yet ...

So the single check per event block uses the appropriate Aschaffenberg,Saponatheim/Holzennauer stat, and advances the agenda of their family?

And Heissman and Reinhart, how are they blocking all contenders or even reacting to what the PCs are doing? According to these rules they seem to be the most influential (and the most changeable) people in Ubersreik, each just randomly changing their allegiance ever 15 minutes.

Map correction - there is a location for Bridge House. But I still don't know what The Waterfall is.
