[posted 12 Aug 2005; updated 16 Feb 2008]
Shadowfist FAQs new and old, collected for reference. Shadowfist Games calls their comprehensive FAQ the "OmniFAQ", which includes general rules questions and card-by-card rulings. Z-Man Games also published individual set FAQs when a new set was released; these are incorporated into the OmniFAQ on its next revision, but that can take a while. As of August 2007, the OmniFAQ is current up to and including Critical Shift.
If you need a rulebook, Shadowfist Games has both the Year of the Dragon and 10,000 Bullets rulebooks on-line in PDF.
The newest version of the OmniFAQ is listed first - if you want current rulings, grab that one. Older versions are included for reference, as well as the older individual set FAQs.

other Z-Man FAQs (pre-OmniFAQ) - rulings changes, card by
card rulings, etc.

Daedalus FAQs
The latest version of the OmniFAQ is dated 10 August 2007. A PDF version of a text file is available on shadowfist.com but it's 139 pages long. Julian kindly provided the original text file used to generate that PDF, and I have run it through the same basic formatting as previous versions. The .doc file is in 2-column format, which collapses it to "only" 98 pages (if you have good eyes, grab the zipped Word version and shrink the font size even more).

FAQ 5 was the last
Daedalus FAQ, published at the time of the Players' Guide in late 1996 (and
is in theory the same as what appears in the Player's Guide Chapter 5, although
I haven't tried to compare it in detail).
.txt version,
62 kB
PDF version,
68 kB
Note that the reference
in FAQ 5 to "Chapter 4" is not to a section of the FAQ, but to Chapter
4 of the Players' Guide. In other words, the FAQ as released doesn't include
everything! Here are the missing card by card rulings for your reference:
.txt version,
68 kB
PDF version, 85 kB
And here are some older versions of the Daedalus FAQ:
Version 4.5, April 1996, in .txt format, 62 kB
Version 4.0, December 1995, in .txt format, 47 kB, or PDF format, 53 kB
Netherworld Mini-FAQ, December 1995, in .txt format, 6 kB
Version 3.0, September 1995, in .txt format, 39 kB
I don't have a full copy of any FAQ before version 3. If you do, please send it to me. Thanks!
