[posted 12 Aug 2005; updated 16 Sep 2011]
Inner Kingdom Games (Daniel Griego) announced on the Shadowfist Forum on 1 Jul 2009 that the OmniFAQ is "no longer canon" and has been replaced by the new rulebook. The OmniFAQ is no longer available from Shadowfist.com.
This page holds Shadowfist FAQs new and old, collected for reference. Inner Kingdom Games replaced all prior FAQs with their new rulebook as of 31 July 2009. Shadowfist Games called their comprehensive FAQ the "OmniFAQ", which included general rules questions and card-by-card rulings. Z-Man Games also published individual set FAQs when a new set was released; these were incorporated into the OmniFAQ on its next revision.
If you need a rulebook, Inner Kingdom Games published their rulebook [shadowfist.com] on 31 July 2009 and has updated it a couple of times since then; that link will take you to the latest version. Inner Kingdom Games does not publish a FAQ.
Shadowfist.com no longer hosts the older rulebooks, but you can download them here if you need them.

Daedalus FAQs
The last version of the OmniFAQ was dated 10 August 2007. It's no longer available for download from Shadowfist.com. 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!
