Manual for Skull&Shackles OP

[Myfly]

Vic,

The WotR OP Manual just overwrote the old SS themed manual. It seems there is no manual history for download available right now.

So just imagine, that a new gamer starts with SS and downloads the OP pdfs... How to obtain then the SS-themed OP manual ?

I did not find it anymore on your servers....

There is no reason for the S&S-themed OP guide. This is the same way it works for the original RPG version of PFS. The newest version of the gude is THE guide. These are the rules you use from this point forward. The old guide is essentially invalid now.

Every season uses the same manual which is updated over time. The current version includes changes and updates that are not in the old SS guide, and if you play OP using that guide you are playing with old, now inaccurate, rules.

I quickly skimmed the title and, at first, I thought you were arguing that the Skull & Shackles manual was overpowered...

Have you smacked someone with that thing Joshua? It's thick, very OP!!!

Also, Myfly, I'm guessing you're not involved with the Pathfinder Society RPG side of things. The manual that gets updated for that also replaces the previous one. And that's been going on for a few seasons. There isn't a specific OP guide per season, but it does get updated each season with rule changes, faction changes, seasonal story changes and artwork updates. That happens for both PFS RPG and PFS ACG.

Your only course of action, if you want to save the revisions, is to do it on your side. I do so that I know what changes have happened, etc.

But if someone downloads the SS OP pdf files... Well, doesnt he want an SS themed manual (OP guide)?

I know it is outdated, but if the downloader wants to play with the SS original OP rules... He has no chance to do so...

How about added the OP rule guide of SS to the folder where the SS OP pdfs are?

(I dont need it, i already got it).

Kind of unnecessary. This is the way the OP guides are updated. When the new season comes out, the guide gets updated. It overrides the previous OP guide.

There is no OP rule guide of S&S. There was an OP guide for Season of the Shackles but that season is now over. In the near future, the Season of the Shackles scenarios are going to be updated for the new season rules on tier advancement. So if people want to start playing Season of the Shackles (as OP), they need to do so using the new rules.

MyFly, the guide is made for playing OP. If you play OP, you have to use the most recent rules, regardless of your preference, desire, or scenario you are playing. If you want to play an unreported home game using OP rules, that's great, but it isn't Paizo's responsibility to provide support that.
