Additional Rulebook Notes
Printed in the Rulebook (4th Edition) as "Gypsies" — the citation below is reproduced as printed. "Eforie" is this site's current name for the race, replacing "Gypsy"/"Gypsies" everywhere on the site (2026-08-14); the mechanics are unchanged. See eforie-curse.json, which now supersedes the tombstoned gypsy-curse.json.
