I just started another playthrough actually (abandoned previous Magnakai attempt due to Chaos Master problems) so if I spot anything that's not on the list I'll post here.
Update: Just spotted the wonky first word on Shadow on the Sand, Section 288, "To Drakkar curses you" instead of "The Drakkar curses you".
It's on the list, I just wonder how many times I must have read that section without noticing it! Has somebody been putting errors in just to see if anyone's paying attention?

We already have [05SotS | 288 | To -> The] reported, but that's the sort of thing we're looking for, so thanks for the catch!
The bizarre thing about SotS is that, if memory serves, it was 'transcribed' to text using voice recognition software; and I have no idea how 'To' and 'The' could sound the same! I can assure you we have not deliberately added errors to the text, it's just that the glaring problems in the original text make ours look minor in comparison, so they get overlooked. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Prisoners of Time, Section 100:
quest quest of the Magnakai -> quest of the Magnakai
Apparently Kai has a minor speech impediment.
Yay for me, got past the Chaos Master! Took the Ironheart Broadsword route.
Then met the Villains and we killed each other. Boo!
On a related note, Prisoners of Time, Section 84
If you win the combat. turn to -> If you win the combat, turn to
Started Book 10 over, retrieved the Sommerswerd, managed to survive all those horrible fights in Book 11. So I may be able to post errors from later books now...

OK, I have filed [11TPoT | 84 | combat. turn -> combat, turn]. Cheers! I'm not seeing the "quest quest" error, though. The version on the PA website is here, and does not have the superfluous duplicate word. |

The version on the PA website is here, and does not have the superfluous duplicate word. This is really strange. I clicked on that link, and the error is definitely there. In the italicised section 'quest' is the last word on the first line and also appears as the first word on the second line. But this is what I get if I copy and paste the same text: 'In this age of darkness you have been chosen to fulfil the quest of the Magnakai. Be..." No error there. WTF?!? |

Might be an error of display on your screen, because everything looks fine on my computer. |

Yeah, seems to be a display glitch, possibly due to the antique browser used in my office (IE5).
Weird that would only affect that one section of one book though.
Found another one:
Plague Lords of Ruel, 192: "thok" is not coded as onomatopeia.
And another:
Captives of Kaag, 136
use you Magnakai -> use your Magnakai
One more:
Darke Crusade, 260
gaolers' beat me -> gaolers beat me

Deathlord of Ixia, 341 Tagazin's stats are given as 55 CS, 60 EP. Surely some mistake?  Some observations about that book, as this was the first time I'd ever played it. Aside from it being pretty obvious that Psi-Surge just won't cut it any more, I was a bit confused about whether I was meant to be using the Sommerswerd. There was one fight where I was clearly warned against using it, but then a bunch more where there seemed to be no penalty, and the enemies' stats made its use nigh-on essential. Also, there are lots of undead enemies in this book, and no footnotes to point out that the Sommerswerd does double damage against them. Is this just because PA has decided that such footnotes are now redundant? Or is there some other reason for not using them? |

OK, the following issues have been filed:
[13TPLoR | 192 | thok [onomatopoeia, Not Errata]
[14TCoK | 136 | use you -> use your]
[15TDC | 260 | gaolers' -> gaolers, Not Errata]
The stats as given in TDoI Section 260 are completely accurate, I assure you! As to the Sommerswerd footnote issue, take a look at Section 220 where you go at the start of the book if you don't possess the Sommerswerd (and also check out the footnote). Because of this, there is no need to specifically mention the Sommerswerd in footnotes for this book. We have, however, noted when opponents are undead (cf. footnotes for Sections 96, 125, and 287). If there are any we have missed, please point them out to us.  |

I lost some data due to a power failure and have had to restart from Captives of Kaag.
The good news is, I saw this:
Captives of Kaag 73: Weaponmastery with Bow-> Grand Weaponmastery with Bow
I also spotted a continuity boo-boo in the same book.
In Section 186 you can "dispose of your Drakkar uniform" even if you never picked it up (see route 224 - 268 - 347 - 186)
Mo' continuity, same book:
251: Your arrow is described as "fiery" even though it isn't. This section is accessible only if you don't cast Flameshaft.
Captives of Kaag, 37:
"mark it on your Action Chart as a Special Item which you keep in your Backpack"
Am I the only one who finds this instruction confusing? I assume I'm meant to put the Statuette in a Special Item slot rather than a Backpack slot, but a second opinion would be useful.
Darke Crusade, 190
pulses, directly -> pulses directly
I also think you should lose 1 EP for using Kai-surge here. You also get to use Kai-surge for free in Section 312.

OK, I have filed the following issues for Book 14:
[ 73: | Weaponmastery with Bow -> Grand Weaponmastery with Bow]
[186: | Hurriedly you dispose of the Drakkar uniform [You might not be wearing the Drakkar uniform; see route 224 -> 268 -> 347 -> 186] ]
[251: | The fiery arrow -> The arrow [Your arrow is described as "fiery" even though it isn't. This section is accessible only if you don't cast ''Flameshaft''.] ]
[37 +others: | mark it on your Action Chart as a Special Item which you keep in your Backpack [Am I the only one who finds this instruction confusing?] [so: We removed all of these references from the Grey Star books for clarity.] ]
And the following are for Book 15:
[190: | pulses, directly -> pulses directly]
[190, 312: | Should use of Kai-surge cost 1EP? Currently the use in these sections is 'free']
All of these issues are Errata, meaning they are present in the original text of the books.
Excellent! Thanks again for reporting these. Feel free to post any more you might spot! ;D

Deathlord of Ixia, 234: Use of Kai-surge for 'free' DoI, 123: Apparent use of Kai-blast without EP loss. Well, I sure hope Ixiataaga is undead, or I just died yet again. Apart from that trivial detail I have completed this run through all the Lone Wolf books currently released by Project Aon. |

Both issues filed for Book 17:
[123: | This is a Kai-blast; LW should have his EP reduced by 4 (see Improved Disciplines).]
[234: | Should the use of Kai-surge here reduce LW's EP?]
This is all good stuff. The GM books have obviously received less revision that the earlier ones, some of which we've reworked two or three times, so it's those that probably require the greatest scrutiny right now; but we're happy to take any outstanding errors with a view to their being fixed.

Just finished the last two online books; 16 Vashna, and 17 Ixia. Noticed a couple of references, when using the Sommerswerd, where "If you possess it, restore your Endurance by 5". This errata corrects the original, and vague "Add 5 to your Endurance." In each entry, there's a lengthy footnote.
(Will add more as I review. ^^)
16tlov | 36
16tlov | 103
16tlov | 118
16tlov | 142
16tlov | 229
Suggestion: Maybe this is a misprint/oversight, and it is supposed to mean that you add +5 CS (and has nothing to do with EP) due to the nature of your enemies vs. the Sommerswerd? In each case, I noted that the enemies were undead, or supernatural; all the entries in TLoV were vs. Vortexi.
