hi, nit-picking: which one is the misprint: CE: Catherine du Bois is now printed in Anarchs as Catherine du BoisE.... My (limited) French tells me that 'Du Bois' means "Of the Wood", But what "Du Boise" stands for, I really don't know. grtz, Jeroen

It's just a misprint Just like Brachah in CE with POT instead of PRE or, if I remember, Tethmes was once noticed as the "Calif" and when reprinted as the "Caliph" of Alamut, or something like that...

[ quoted text not captured ] It means "Of Idaho". :p Seriously, this kind of misprint really bugs me. It just looks stupid, and now we'll get all sorts of idiotic "Does Catherine Du Boise contest with Catherine Du Bois?" questions. But I suppose there has to be one serious vampire misprint in each set: Ur-Shulgi without the +1 bleed, Brachah with potence instead of presence, and so on. It's just the way of things. Thankfully, there are plenty of correctly printed Catherines out there, since CE is still available. -Volya
