Hi All,
DOWNLOAD THE SCROLL LATEST VERSION (v1.25E)
For those interested, v1.25E (4th Edition) is now available … Editions 3 and 4 address some rare issues (see below), but are made immediately available to keep fully up to date.
The TLK is now included with the campaign folder download, as it is only likely needed for an update when something in the campaign folder changes anyway. (NB: I will inform you if and when the TLK is updated. Nevertheless, the CAMPAIGN folder will always contain the latest TLK file.)
The latest TLK update was included with v1.24E
My wife is playing through yet again!
Let me know if there are any other needs.
Thanks, Lance.
