Please post any errata you find in our books here. I'll be updating the Eclipse and Seven ebooks soon, and would like to fix any mistakes. I've already corrected a number that I know about, but I'm sure there's more.

I haven't really had time to read through Seven in detail yet, but here are a few oddities I've picked up, plus a couple of notes from Eclipse.
Seven:
General: There are a number of pages which seem to have a darker font color or maybe are bold. Going from Page 193 (dark) to page 194 (light) then to page 195 (dark again) is a bit jarring, to give an example.
Page 162: The last line of the right column is the first line of the Faust race entry on page 163.
Page 166: Grammar note. The first three words should be "The Frey are," not "The Frey is".
Page 172: The last two lines of the right column are the beginning of the Haze entry from page 173.
Eclipse:
Page 42: The word "wereowl" in the left column seems (I know that non-visible graphics elements may be forcing this due to the picture shape) to be unnecessarily split.
Page 42: The second bulleted point in the right column, Weakness to Silver has the typo "Sliver" both in the heading entry and the explanatory text.
Page 59/60: You know about this already and posted the missing words, but for completeness there's a line missing.

Thanks! Actually, all but the Faust issue I've already corrected on Seven. However, I'm not seeing this dark font thing. I looked at a couple different versions. I suspect you are seeing a glitch in your reader. Are you viewing at %100 or a scaled size?

You're right, it seems to be a reader glitch rather than something funny in the file.
I'm seeing it both scaled for single whole page viewing, and at 100% size in Foxit Reader. However if I scale to fit it to screen width instead of height the difference in font darkness vanishes. I also don't see it when I open the file in PDF Converter Pro in any resolution. I haven't installed Adobe on this machine, so I can't check in that.

Eclipse:
Page 122: Right column, line 13, the word 'trees' is typoed as 'tress'.

More Eclipse stuff.
Pages 24 to 26: I think this is an error at the printer's end, but there's a font error making square boxes appear in places I'd expect a dash '-' in punctuation.
Page 43: First column, under Weapon's Immunity section, there's another case of 'sliver' instead of 'silver'.
Page 44: First column, Powers and Rules section, second paragraph, first line: 'cannon' should be 'canon'.
Frankly, I have to say I'm impressed. Every spelling issue I've found in Eclipse has been a case where either I turned out to be wrong when I checked with a dictionary, or a typo that coincidentally matched another real word, and there are damned few of those. I've bought stuff from long standing companies in the RPG industry with a lot more basic errors than I've found in this book.

Two more for Eclipse.
Page 44, left column, second paragraph of the Powers and Rules section, line 1: The word 'cannon' should be 'canon'.
Page 65, left column, second paragraph of the Behavior section, line 20: From context I think the word 'moral' is intended to be 'mortal'.

Just got all these in there, plus a couple of other random typos. Thanks for the help! The funny thing is I was rereading chapter one and found an instance where the word "cannon" was spelled as "canon". Too bad two typos don't make a right.

A rules problem with the focus of the green. Weed makes the character almost indestructible as nothing can get through the regeneration. No physical or energy attacks can kill a weed.

Yeah, that's kind of broke. My bad. I think I originally had it in my head that with the regeneration ability you still died at negative your con and stayed dead. If you allow regen to revive dead characters in your game, just strike that bit about fire and acid no longer applying.
