Guidance
- A section formerly in the Guidance chapter entitled "The Gun Club" has been removed from the book. This is because it serves as advice to the Guide for running encounter, which is exactly the sort of content that from now on has a more proper home in Wasteland Woes. However, *you will not lose this content*. It was part of the book when you purchased and you have a right to continued access even if you don't choose to buy Wasteland Woes. From now on it will be included with Wasteland Wares in the form of a separate download.
- Moved weird properties out of Guidance into their own section, Weird Wares.
