Tales of Death and Darkness- Misprint?

[SimonMagus]

I recently ordered a copy of Tales of Death and Darkness from Chaosium's website and was fairly impressed. The quality of the scenarios and layout was very close to a professional standard. I was going to run the first scenario next weekend but ran into a priniting issue. I was wondering if anyone might be able to help or let me know if they have run into any similar problems.

The character sheet on page 36 of my monograph is completely blacked out except for the logo and portrait. Does anyone know where I can find the relevant stats or are all copies of the monograph misprinted? Normally I wouldn't consider this to be a huge issue but my group is composed of non gamers so pregenerated characters really facilitate things.

Thanks in advance,

Investigator History: A New York native, you’ve been with Wallace’s A&C for several years. With the constant travel and late hours, it doesn’t leave you much time for a social life. Since you often travel alone with cash and valuables for the company, you sometimes carry a handgun. Not this time, of course; you’re only going to the Catskills. As an expert in fine antiques, your skills have earned the company quite a bit of money. You hope to earn enough on overtime and bonuses from this trip to open your own small shop. Then you could make your own hours, be your own boss and maybe, finally have time to meet a nice girl.

Thank you Simon for your kind words.
I'm Oscar Rios, the author of "Tales of Death & Darkness". The White Mice Team, my layout and artist friends, will be very happy to hear your comments. If you could post that review on the Chaosium site I'd be very grateful. As far as I know the problems with the misprints were corrected on Chaosium's end and should now no longer occur.

Above I have posted the stats for the missing character for "The Devil is in the Details". My test team really had a blast with that one and I hope you and your friends do too.

Leader of the White Mice,

Oscar "Osk" Rios

Thanks for posting that Oscar. My copy is also missing that character. A shame, because those character sheets are very nice.

Oscar,

Thanks for the information and your response. The stats are exactly what I needed and should make everything easier for me this weekend. I can't wait to play through the scenario and I'll let you know how it goes.

I'll also see if I can find some time to post a review on Chaosium's website. However, this may take a while with my year end resonsibilties at work.

Thanks Again!

Thanks, I'll forward that to the designer. An artist friend of mine, John Caramando designed the sheets. He was going for an art deco design. At some point we may post the blank sheet somewhere for download. John also did art for the book, all of the art in the "Borne into Darkness" was his work.

I am fortunate to know so many talented people.
