The new monster abilities (Grab, Knockdown, Push, etc) are available on Archive of Nethys.

Now I'm extra confused. I did miss that the monster ability rules were actually published in RoE (in the Abilities Glossary, not mentioned in the Updated Rules sidebar), not merely previewed in the web pdf, but the monster abilities page on AoN still links to the original Bestiary version of Grab (etc). I've been using legacy Grab even after RoE was published; have I been running it wrong for three months?

No, the new rules take effect on Wednesday.

Until a full list of deity sanctifications is published, any deity without published sanctification is treated as “can sanctify to holy.” Any champion may select any of the three Causes of Good from the Core Rulebook (Paladin, Liberator or Redeemer) regardless of deity.

Because I know there will be people who will try to pull it, can this be changed to specify only deities who don't have an evil component in the original source?

Looking at the list in Section 1 of the Community Use Approved Product List (https://paizo.com/community/communityuse), the digital adventures are not listed as available for Community Use. Is this perhaps an oversight? In many ways, these are almost identical to the Society Scenarios which are covered under this policy.

I would like to know how a new position was created, staffed by a (former?) employee who as far as was communicated was working for another organization entirely (OPF) and placed over the CS staff to begin with. Especially when that employee had not been in the CS chain previously?

Are the accusations of leaking the contents of a "womens support group" accurate? If so, that is extremely concerning on its own without factoring in apparent newly gained management power over others.

As far as the first part, she is employed by Paizo with the former position of Organized Play Manager; separate from that, she is the Executive Director of the Organized Play Foundation.

Just because she wasn't in the CS chain before doesn't mean that a new position can't be placed over CS.

Is there by chance a plan to have a way to filter the Boons page anytime soon?
It's on our list of next requests from tech, yes, probably in the form of collapsing sections.

THANK YOU

I know that my RVC runs it the way Bob was saying, so all of the events that are provided to him are marked as RSP/Premier in the system. If you find any reported events that you've attended in our state, Nefreet, please ask the VO for the store to reach out to the RVC about getting that fixed. If any of the public events in Sacramento (Game Kastle, Great Escape Games, or Room2Game) aren't showing as Premier for your AcP, let me, Andrew, or Kara know, and we'll get that fixed.

Please make the PDF version very soon, or just put it all on one URL so we can easily print it! The majority of places I play at don't have wifi. The current layout of spreading the document across many pages makes barely unusable. For example, if you want to search for a term, you have to do it ten times to make sure. (Are you willing to wager large sums of money that your Glossary is complete?) Speed is also an issue. It took me 30 seconds to open the page just now (wired to cable modem), so it would have been faster to look something up in a print version.

When you do update it please, please, please announce it loudly and widely. One temptation of "living documents" is to make frequent, minor tweaks, so it becomes not a just question of "which season's Guide do you have" but "which version", or "what day", or even "I have the today's 11:15AM version, which one do you have". Intentionally making an update difficult is often the only way to slow that down. I once did software development at a company where the documentation was in a Wiki, management encouraged us to not do up-front design but design and change as we wrote code, and chaos ensued.

For example, even now, after just two updates, the TOC page says the Guide is
"Current Version: 0.03
Current Version Date 8/6/2019 – 22:00"

but the individual chapters say they are

"Current Version: 0.02
Current Version Date 8/5/2019 – 18:00"

You're already getting chaos.

It appears that the versions are only changing on the pages that have changed, as well as the main page. Additionally, there is a changelog posted which says what the differences are from the previous version:

Pathfinder Society (2nd edition) Guide to Play wrote:

Changelog

0.04 – Player Basics – Clarified Boon Slots Text
— Faction Boons – Updated Promo Boon text
— Volunteer Coordinators – Added Washington DC to Northeast region
0.03 – Volunteer Coordinators – updated page with correct RVC emails and location titles

Knowing Jared (he's my VC), the team he's building to help handle the OPF website and online guide will be working hard over the next few weeks to get everything ship-shape and to a version 1 state.
