Official Update Thread

[Viladin]

Not often enough. I'm still ironing out bugs and updating. Never feels finish for me to update the Main PDF.

But the normal PDFs (classes, races, etc) are regularly updated.

I generally check the site once a month for updates, but currently I am on holidays with minimal internet access, so haven't been able to check. Apart from the Main Book and Monster Compendium, are the rest of PDFs current? May I compile them into private, dated documents to share to my own gaming group? If not, I will link them to site to get their copies.

Yes, all the PDFs except main book and monster compendium are up to date. And feel free to compile them.

So not sure if this goes here, so move it if needed. Is there anyone willing to bunch all the documents into a single download or something? I use this regularly offline, due to having a tablet and not always having net access. I have all the documents on my tablet but it was before all these updates (the march/april ones). While I am willing to manually go through the lists again, I imagine I cannot be the only that does this. I have no skill or know-how on putting them all together. If anyone can do this, awesome. If not, understandable and will just keep doing it the slower way.

[Viladin]

I just haven't had time to redo the whole book together and with updating once or twice a week, I'm always having to edit.

[silverwerret]

Not you Vil, man you got enough on your plate and we all appreciate the hard work ya do for this project. It was more for the rest of the community, if anyone was willing to do it.

Damn Vil. Every time I think I have all the new content figured out, you come out with more. Good going man...we all appreciate your hard work.

Thanks Though, it will be slowing down now. Pathfinder is coming out with a technology book in August. So I'll be working slowly on my technology book until PF's book comes out.

[Raybras]

found a mistake for Varg's Bite: it says Bangaa when it talks about secondary attack.
p.s. I love the tactician :3

[Viladin]

Fixed. Also caught Burmecian had the same error.
