Just to separate this out from the speculation thread, I figure I might as well make a pseudo-formal announcement. 

Land of Promise, a Tir update that hauls the elven country up into 2074, is now out.  It introduces a new batch of Princes (voted in democratically instead of being largely self-appointed) and mentions their rumored political affiliations, talks about getting into the Tir and what to do once you're there, gives information (and NPC stats) on who you might run into during your stay, and even sneaks in a little extra mojo -- like the Moonlight Thorns magical society -- and an assortment of plot hooks that can either drag players into Tir Tairngire from outside the country, or can keep them busy within the Tir's borders.  The bulk of the book is aimed at lowering the bar just enough to make the Tir an attractive place for some adventuring, instead of the nigh-untouchable uber-nation it used to be...it's not "look but don't touch" any more, it's "touch, but only for the right price."  ;)

It also has a couple pretty fun little winks-and-nods to the original Tir Tairngire book, some intro fiction, some full color artwork covering most of the new Princes, and Wakshaani's favorite NPC ever, Grimmy the Grimoire!

So, check it out already:

GO MARCHERS! Er ... Wait. Fuck Cara'Sir. GO MALEK'THAS KINSMEN [SPERETHIEL REDACTED]!

My love of Tír Tairngire, the book and the country, made me greatly appreciate the fact that I now live in Malek'thas with a hurler who keeps well-worn sticks above the doors.

I'm also working on getting some SR-inspired jerseys made for myself and Critias with Sperethiel HC names and logos.

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.

No you aren't. I had the same problem with a free product they were offering.
Just use Battlecorps. That's what I do.

Hmm... I've never had a problem with DriveThru. And the main reason I use them instead of BattleCorps is the fact that I can download PDFs I purchased years ago by going to My Library. But that is the only problem I have with BattleCorps.

I'm guessing it was just a glitch for this morning, it's fixed now.

It checks in at 24 pages.  There's a pretty sizeable preview at the link.

There's a decent review on that other forum that I won't link to out of principle.

In the interest of not fomenting inter-board rivalry (and because "principles" don't slow me down! ;) ), here's the thread with Hermit's review: http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showtopic=37762

Is there anyway to get that "other place" to display the posts like on this board. Every now and then I want to read something there but I can't bring my self to individually click and open each post to read them.

Any help for that?

I don't even know what kind of issue you're talking about. Are you registered at Dumpshock?
