We all know that Tom never makes mistakes. But....
In the New Beginning 2119 handbook he says that Shann-Ra is Kill Prey's younger sister.
In the Martial Law 2124 handbook he says that Shann-Ra is Kill Prey's cousin.
Has Tom made a boo-boo, or does Kill Prey's family tree just not have a lot of branches?

You know, I saw that and thought I misread it in the New beginnings handbook so I just kept reading.

Yeah, I just read the New Beginnings handbook and it says younger sister. The COTG Files Online also says she's the younger sister. Small detail really. I doubt many of us even remembered that little fact.

Due to Retribution's sensitive eyes, the same rule that applies in his matches vs. Nosfera applies in his matches vs. Tricks. The same as DEMON'S BREATH becomes a +3 vs. Nosfera, COULROPHOBIA becomes a + 4 vs. Tricks.As in, when Retribution is vs. them.

I know how he means it, but it doesn't come across clearly. Not a big deal though either way.
Yeah, KW and I were talking on the way back from the sudden relationship change between KP and Shann-Ra. She's my sister and my cousin...hmmmmm.

The Kill Prey/Shann-ra thing is one of those where Tom honestly just didn't remember that he wrote them as siblings.
Tom is a very spontaneous writer and doesn't always go back and check every minute detail of each character he writes.
Think about it, writing a game for 23 yrs, and think about how many characters and stories Tom's written.....he's gonna make a mistake every once in awhile.
