Hello,
We are reworking on the French version of this expansion.
Could you please tell me if on the English version anyone had questions, doubts? If there were known errors?
Bad phrasing or otherwise?
We will then endeavour to make the best French Curse of the Dark Pharaoh Revised Edition expansion possible.
Thank you all for your time and answers.
IIRC, I think there was an encounter in the StL (a knife at your throat) where you had three choices, but one of them was clearly superior to one of the others because it had no downdisde if you failed the check.
Silver Twilight Lodge
The lights go out; you hear chanting and feel a knife at your throat. You may:
1) Flee. Lose 1 Stamina and move to the street.
2) Allow them to cast their ritual. Lose 2 Stamina, but take the Visions card, if it is available, and gain 1 Clue token.
3) Attempt to take control of the ritual with a Lore (-1) check. If you pass, the Lodge offers you a Silver Twilight Membership.
This one suppose?

What's wrong with that? Pick (2) if you want the Visions/Clue, pick (3) if you want a Membership, or pick (1) if you don't give a **** and would rather just move to the street so you're nearer your next destination on your next move. The prices you pay for each may not be in proportion but that doesn't matter, this game ain't a democracy man!
There is an official fail condition to (3). IIRC, you're supposed to lose all your spells and move to the street, or something.
Check the "official answers" sticky thread.

Not sure if I'd have time to do all of that. But I think that most of the errors in the original were corrected; I believe that one was not.

You might consider the Mask of Vice to be an "error" because it's so strong. I've never quite seen it abused though. Maybe we were all overreacting.
With regards to the Cursed Relics rumor card: it should be noted that it was not clarified to say that when you "negate" the rumor effect, the doom token is returned to the supply and not to the Mythos card. A literal reading seems to imply that the doom token returns to the rumor card, which has caused confusion in the past.
I don't know how helpful this is, but here:

Good remarks Tibs! Thanks a lot!
