GM Thandiwe
Updates and Fixes
on 29 Oct 2024 11:02 PM
from the Official GemStoneIV Discord
on #gamemaster-endnotes channel

Ale Festival Drinking Horn
Various typos
Drink causing squished sentences

Basketifier
The Basketifier’s Brief existential crisis of thinking it was a table or blanket when it was indeed a basket is resolved.

Bonfires
Much rejoicing as Vanah has pointed out where the weird extra person shows up at all bonfires. This is fixed.

Chatelaine
Accepts “glasses” now as a noun.

Cosmetic Cases
These are fixed for all new items being added to them.
These are now fixed for all new permanent items added to them. (ie: they visited the permifier)
Cases that have makeup in them will need to be looked at and corrected. Please assist and we will get to you as quickly as we can.

Eviscerating Knives
Reptiles are animals, so they are now allowed.

Gem-in-ator
Folks have been putting in bugs for gemstones that won’t re-stack in their baskets. This isn’t a bug per say. The issues is that at some point, I was asked to make sure that the “pretty long descriptions” on the gems could be kept. As such, I had to extend how they store the gems inside the container. Long story short, your gems go into the basket a little differently than they used to it. You can fix the stacking issue, by pulling all the gems out and putting them back in.
Gems w. Custom LOOKs no longer show up funky in the 1st spot.

Hotel Storage Trunk
Open Message – Fixed the 3rd person messaging

I Dream of Geology
Rings that were engulfing will now properly pluralize the gem

Kindred Garb Vest
Button, Clasp, etc. will all now properly pluralize in the long. Make sure that you TURN and then TWIST it to fix it.

Mandrakes
Long standing, stupid bug that caused the mandrake whistle to be missing an ending noun is fixed. You can assist to get yours fixed.
Couple of messages had missing words or gender issues. Those were resolved.

Papermaker
Organic paper creation was using all but one charge, but it now appropriately uses only 1 charge.
Organic paper no longer takes a charge of bark to produce.
Call lightning

Pocket Watch
Whispering w.out an inscription no longer returns empty quotes in the third person view.
Analyzing the pocketwatch was wiping out the alarm. This is resolved.
Glance no longer gives weird time.

Shadows of the Sparrow Fan
Ponder when open no longer closes the fan permanently.
Performing the Sparrow Dance now opens both fans correctly.

Tonsorial Tricks
Acknowledge that half-krolvin women have beards, too.

Vault Lantern
Arrival — when departing — has been resolved.

Weave a Little Dream of Me
Bracelet – Tap – Resolved name appearing in the middle of 3rd person messaging.

Misc Notes:

Bittermere Woods – received a few bug reports about foraged items where Forage Sense let you see the item but PnC wouldn’t let you get the item. If you type it, you can get it. This is a common failing of the system. It see’s 3 words and freaks out a little. Here’s an example:

G>fairy’s skirt mushroom (this is the PnC)
As you carefully forage around you can find no hint of what you are looking for. You are not even positive where it may be found.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

G>forage for fairy mushroom (This is typed)
You forage briefly and manage to find a glittering fairy’s skirt mushroom!
Roundtime: 6 sec.
