Rule books with errata?

Pathfinder Adventure Card Game General Discussion

Some of the available rule books have been updated with errata up to a certain date, but not all.

Has anyone gone to the trouble of editing them with updated errata from the FAQs?

Is there any plan for Paizo to release updated versions of, for example, Mummy's Mask?

thanks

To answer your question.
The physical PACG rules are rarely updated, usually with the release of a new boxed set and maybe once as a downloadable file between box sets. Updates are done via FAQs which is much better than nothing, but very tedious to keep up with.

To wish upon a star.
What I am hoping for with the projected repackaging of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Games starting with the next base game is this.

The Game Cards and Stuff.
A box that contains the Core Game set you buy once. It contains cards used in every Adventure Path. It contains an introductory Adventure of 5 scenarios, used to learn and teach the game.

A box for each separate Adventure Path game. It contains the cards and tokens and stuff for each specific Adventure Path such as Mummy's Mask or Rise of the Runelords. It contains ALL the cards for ALL the Adventures for that specific Adventure Path from the get go. No more spreading things out over four to six months.

The Character Add-On Deck can remain a separate purchase or be bundled into the Adventure Path box. I consider them a required purchase. I always buy them.

Class Decks remain as they are.

The Rules.
The Common Rules are published as the rules in the Core Game mentioned above. It is supported by Paizo and Lone Shark as a living rule book that one can download at any time to get a more up-to-date version of the rules as needed. All rules are used in all games.

The Adventure Path Specific Rules are published as the rules used only in a Specific Adventure Path game, mentioned above. It is supported by Paizo and LoneShark as a living rule book that one can download at any time to get a more update version as needed.

FAQ
Rules FAQ announcements can continue as they do now, but in addition to the FAQ listing, the appropriate rules PDF will be updated and available for download.

The online rulebook for the current set is updated as erratta is issued, or at least that’s the intention, as I understand it. The governing rulebook for any set is always the rulebook for the current set, plus any set- specific rules for the set you are playing. (This is explicitly spelled out in the Organized Play guide; I agree it should also be stated in the rulebook itself. ) This mostly frees Paizo from having to maintain updated versions of every set’s rulebook. They only have so many staff- hours after all.

Sure, I'm just asking because the downloadable Mummy's Mask rulebook hasn't had an errata update since 11/206. I'm not criticizing Paizo's staff on this, though. I was just toying with the idea of editing it in myself, and I don't want to go to the trouble if someone's already done it, or it's going to be released in the near future.

We are not generally updating the rulebooks post-release.

Hi Vic,

Could someone please add the last update date to all the files on the rules download page? Pretty please. Rise of the Runelord has one, the rest do not. Thanks!

I try to maintain a "common" rulebook, but I am sure I miss things. Is there a way to search for or list all the rulebook changes without having to scroll through forum entries? Just rulebook changes and clarifications, not card changes or clarifications.

Thank you for your help,

Jim

The FAQs have sections for the rulebook separate from the sections for cards.

Yep. Use those all the time.

Just looking for things I might have missed. Clarifications buried in posts, etc.

Thanks, Hawk.

It's the only one that has an updated date because it's the only one that was ever updated, when we revised it for the second printing.

Ok, thanks.
