Downloaded this morning and have been enjoying it this afternoon.  In addition to the content, really liking the layout.

Is anyone else having issues on DriveThru with the links not working? I log in fine, but can't get the 'add to cart' or even 'add to wishlist' links to work. Have already sent word down the pipe to the DriveThru staff.

Turns out the issue was with their product pages. Seems no links out of them were working at all, but items could be added via the search pages or other round-about ways. It's fixed now, so on to the Tir. :)

Cracked and bought it. Anyone know what this means?

"Talondel, makkaherinit milessaratish ti’Ni’Fairra, li-ha?"

All I got from it is: "a young and foolish person, a covert operative/shadowrunner, is that not so?"

Would others like a chance to take a stab at some of the Sperethiel translations, before I post the "official" answers?   ;D

"Talondel, foolish (stupid?) servant-soldier (paladin?) of Ni'Fairra, Is that not so?"

(I'm not sure if  milessaratish is a Seelie Court thing only. From the way it is used above, I (personally) take it to mean  paladin. Also, Talondel is used in the opening fiction of Way if the Adept.)

While we're at it, anyone want to take a stab at Grimmy's friendly little Sperethiel phrase guide?  Because some of those friendly little Sperethiel phrases...aren't terribly friendly.  Folks using them will be marked as tourists pretty handily, in the passive-aggressive Tir community.

I'll take a crack at it.

Goronar irenis od ni hengar Sperethiel, sallaharnagee: “I am just a tourist, I do not speak Sperethiel.”
(I'm a) casteless outsider and i don't speak sperethiel, (I'm a) silent barbarian?

Samrielar im ozidan tech: “I need to use the restroom.”
I need to shit. (this one made me laugh.)

Serathillar perest cetheral, amedaron: “I really need a drink of cetheral.”
I desire to have cetheral, before(or?) I die.

Imar heron. Imar raen. Imar semeraerth. Imar milessaratish. Miriat tela li? Thiesat tekio tore li?

What's with all the stat blocks having rule-breaking skill levels for all their skills and skill groups? The following is an example.

Quote

5 6 (8) 5 (6) 4 (5) 5 4 3 3 4.4 9 (11) 1 (3) 12/10 11
Dice Pools: Athletics skill group 9, Close Combat skill group 12,
Firearms skill group 11, Heavy Weapons (Grenade Launcher) 9
(11), Infiltration 10, Influence skill group 6, Outdoors skill group 8,
Perception 7

The stat blocks are done up in the Missions format (for ease-of-use with Land of Promise Missions adventures, where many of them are used).  Note that, just after attributes, it says "dice pools," not "skill values" or something.  Those are their pools listed there, not their actual ranks in the skill;  it makes it quicker and easier for a GM to grab the right handful of dice, no math required.

Unfortunately, it does get a bit confusing with the stat blocks like that then, the character stats in the back of the book are in the normal format. I know I did a couple double-takes while running at GenCon.
