...it's called the Tourist's Guide to Lorule, but the text inside says "Thank_you_for_using_'the_Tourist's_Guide_to_Bishopia(tm)'!" Which one is it?

Re: Spelling/Grammatical Errors in the Tourist's Guide
Thanks, I have applied your fixes to the text file.
And it's Lorule not Bishopia. We called the world for Bishopia until we came up with the better name Lorule (since the capital city is named Bishopia)

There's a whole bunch of Bishopia's that need to be changed to Lorule then.

Re: Spelling/Grammatical Errors in the Tourist's Guide
The continent is Lorule.
The central city is Bishopia.
The kingdom may or may not be called Bishopia. One of Denis Jaimes's enduring legacies is that the kingdom may be called the Kingdom of the Plains.
I believe the central plain of Lorule is called the Plains of Bishopia.
Who knows what this will mean for the tourist's guide. Maybe we should just remove any obvious mistakes, and put everything else down to the fact that the characters are somewhat confused, themselves.
------------------
Even more spelling mistakes fixed.

Try repeating a module if you have little money.
This guy are sick. Seek healer or use identify.
Use a potion if you run out of enegy.
Beacause you're a puppet!
I am sorry.

current version
Re: Spelling/Grammatical Errors in the Tourist's Guide
I greatly enjoyed this text. Informative and funny, and it fits nicely into Lorule
Some other stuff I've found:
-"undead lich" is kind of redundant.
-"if you make friends with Dracolitch" -> Dracolich
-Strength is misspelled as "srength" in the stat list.
-At least according to the old manual, Lumpkins say "MiMa", not "Niema!". I assume the "Niema" is some reference I didn't get, though I know it is a name.
Where are these Howlers found? I got the reference, but never saw them in-game...

ugh, spell checkers do not check things in all caps...
