Retcons altering the line up of teams from years gone by are a keyword nightmare.

You're not joking. Especially with Bendis thinking he has to re-write the entire Marvel history every week. As you can tell, I'm not a Bendis fan, or a Quesada fan for that matter.

But in their defense, they weren't in control of the Invaders / All-Winners Squad ret-con, which was kind of a necessary retcon.

Well, there has been a white colored Sasquatch on Alpha Flight... When Snowbird assumed a Sasquatch form her fur was white, and when Walter Langkowski took over her body (and became Wanda Langkowski...) he also had white fur.
However, had it been either of those Sasquatches the TA would be Avengers, not X-men, and there should not be Support on the dial, so I agree Exiles Heather Hudson is the most likely suspect.

Without saying to much... The issue has been brought up for discussion in the Deputies forum (and well before this thread I might add - it's not the first time the issue has been brought up. ). It's not a high priority, but it is something we'd like to do when we find the time.
Personally, I think we should settle for an updated keyword list for the cardless sets as updating keywords on character cards is a little iffy... but that's just my opinion. We'll see how it turns out.

Great news that it is at least being considered. As such, perhaps this discussion should turn into a "we believe these keywords to be wrong, and these to be missing, and these to be misspelled..."

And I can't give you rep for the good tidings. Ah, well.

Well, there are a lot of threads on the topic already. If we ever get around to doing this there's bound to be plenty of material out there...

I don't know if this one has been brought up, but Si 48a Elektra should have "The Hand" as her keyword, instead of "Hand."

It's been corrected in the latest Player's Guide :
"#048a Elektra
[...]
The first keyword is "The Hand"."

What version of the player's guide is this from. I looked at both the one here, which is dated from 2008, and the one on the wizkids site from December of 2009. All I see for Elektra is
Where is the keyword correction for Hand/The Hand?

Nevermind, I found a link to the newer version at the bottom of one of Norm's posts. I wish whoever does the Wizkids site would make those easier to find.

Needs to be updated in the units section then.

Here is the newest version of the Player's Guide (January 31, 2010 version):

I was thinking of writing up a comprehensive list of necessary and/or highly suggested keyword revisions. Is this something the RA and his deputies are still considering? If I was to compile a full/near full list of keyword issues from threads such as this one, would there still be any chance of getting these officially errataed? Or has this issue been tabled?

Not much have happened with the "updated keywords" project - we have had lots of other, more urgent, things to do.
As for making a list for us... I'm a bit torn on the issue, quite frankly. On one hand, it would be nice to not have to do all the legwork for ourselves. On the other hand, I know there are several lists like that in existence already - Al's Clix Cave has one, VGA another. (I haven't read either of the lists by the way). Should we just pick one of them, and then which one? Why not the other(s)?

Plus, I'm not sure WK even has the old keyword document anymore - it is not in the Dowloads section of the website, at least. If the document needs to be recreated, that means a bigger investment of work time that may be better spent on more current projects - particularly since the keyword lists only affect Golden age games.

But hey, feel free to write something up anyway - at the very least you could post it here on the Realms.
