Yup. If someone out there wants to send me a list of every where Target Number and Ability Rating need to be changed, it would be a help - I'm buried in Thunder Rebels at the moment, trying to get it ready before I leave for the next convention (whatever the heck it is - my wife keeps the calendar and says "you're going to X convention tomorrow - get packed").

Also, I just got off the phone with Greg, there's about 3 month's worth of stock left (yippee!), and what will be done is a Revision, *not* a new edition. Pardon my use of the wrong word earlier (Revision meaning: "We fixed all the errors we could find", as opposed to "We swapped everything around and added whole new sections").
