Seriously (IMHO):
I found the information specific enough to be used as a decent
sourcebook yet general enough, with a few good rumours here and there,
to not alow players who have access to the books to know as much as the
GM.
I also found the artwork pretty good. There is the now traditional
color prints in the centre of the book. The first of which is an amazing
of the Tir in Matrix. I would *love* to get a full size poster of that
thing. Incidently, I purchased the Tir book right *before* the Wild Palms
series finished... The similarity between this Iconic Structure and the
Church delusions are kinda funny.
The extensive write-ups on the leaders of the Tir is great info
for future run development. Now that I have the names, attitudes and
politics of the Princes of the Tir, I can begin my next campaign idea
which plots the elves against the Vatican.
The various rites and rituals of the Tir Nation, as well as the
write up of its "Birth" really provide a good flavour for the nation as
a whole.
Even though I have read the book 3 times now, I am still not
finished. Each time I find something new to explore and try to trace
as it is developed in bits 'n pieces among the shadowtalk.
Finally, I want to go on record. I think there is a WHOLE lot
more to the character Blackwing then FASA is letting on to. This
elven samurai has appeared in TWO modules (Dragon Hunt, Bottled Demon?)
and is now the subject of numerous blurps in the Tir Sourcebook. I
thought he as something *before* the Tir came out, now FASA has confirmed
it and raised my curiousity.
A Definite Must Have for those interested in the Tir.
