Chaosium Inc. 25 Years of Chaos!
Mythos Errata
updated 4th Nov 2001 Also See the Mythos FAQ Page.
N.B. This Errata page is not yet officially
endorsed by Chaosium, although I have asked them to do so. All the new entries
are taken directly from Shannon's comments on the Mythos mailing list, and
so are official rulings by Chaosium. New entries are highlighted in blue.
Mythos: New Aeon
Rule Errata
The example on page 40 of the rulebook has Reverend Baxter
Lully joining with Serpent Men. This is incorrect, as he does not have that ability
Card Errata
- Maison Nationale De Sante - is Unique
- Yucca Mountain Project - Change "..at this Gate.."
to "...using this Gate...".
Mythos: The Dreamlands
Rule Errata
Descriptions of the various region color bars was inadvertantly left out of the
Dreamlands rule book. They are as follows. A pictorial guide also appears in the
Rules Additions for the Dreamlands section of our Mythos
web page.
The East: A kind of blue color, containing the sub-regions
"Celephais", "Rinar", and "Ilek-Vad".
The West: A kind of purple color, containing the sub-regions "Ulthar",
"Mnar", "Dylath-Leen", the "Oukranos Wilds", and the "Edge of the World".
The North: A sort of green color.
The South: A kind of pink color, containing the sub-region "The
Isles".
The Underworld: A kind of brown color, containing the sub-regions "The
Wildlands" and "Gug City".
Exotic Locations: A kind of grey color.
Lovecraft Country: A kind of green color, with a smooth, shiny
texture. Not part of the Dreamlands.

- Angry Zoogs - Add the sentence "Then bury this

Your Own Investigator"
- Shipwreck - Add the sentence "Bury this card if any Day or Night Event is

Mythos Standard Game Set
Rule Errata
The following important rules changes supersede the printed
MSGS rules:
Joining: Two additional sentences have been added to the end of the
definition of Joining on page 28: "Two cards may Join as long as one of them
allows this in its Special Effects box. More than two cards may Join as long as
every combination of two cards in the group Joins."
Just Played: The definition on page 28 of the MSGS rules is subtly
wrong. It should read: "A card played since your last Turn in the current Round
that has not been affect by any other card play."
Card Errata
- Dysentery - Add the text "Then, Bury this Card" to the end of the Special
Effect Box.
Mythos Limited
Rule Errata
The following important clarification exists for Mythos
Limited. Note that in MSGS the rules have undergone several updates and
clarifications. These newer rules
should be used instead of the out-of-date Limited rules.
Combat: One paragraph in the COSMIC BATTLE section in Combat is
incorrect, and gives a mistaken impression of how Combat is conducted. The
correction is simple:
On page 27, delete the last sentence of the COSMIC BATTLE section (Bury
all Monsters ... opponent's threat.) Thus, if your DEEP ONE (1 point)
battles a FLYING POLYP (5 points), the DEEP ONE absorbs 1 point and your
Investigator loses 4 points of Sanity. Only then are the monsters buried.
Card Errata
The following general card errata has been issued for Mythos
Limited:
Islands: The old Island travel restrictions have been overriden by the
following general rule: "Islands are Special Locations found within Regions.
You can not walk or use Travel By Land or Travel by Air cards to go to, from
or between Islands, unless Special Effects say otherwise." All old Island cards
(R'lyeh, Bal Sagoth, Easter Island, Otaheite, Ponape and Retoka) are no longer
considered to have the old text which said "You must use a Travel by Sea card
to get to this Location".
Travel By Sea Events: All Travel by Sea events from Limited
(Mauretania, Titanic, Tramp Streamer) should have the phrase "Play this card at
a Location featuring the water attribute" added to the special effect box of the
card.
