Does anyone have the PDF of the rulebook-- not the rule's manual, the rules only thing, but the complete book? Does it contain the stat cards, or stat card info, for the Wave 1 figures? How about the upgrade cards? My gaming group may give 2E a go at some point. We have the original minis, but we would need the new cards. I know we can get the Wave 1 faction decks as Print on Demand (at $12 each, which seems really steep for 64 cards.) But if the PDF contains these things, or the info from them, we can DIY the cards. This would be a lot easier than scanning things from the printed book too, which is why I ask about the PDF particularly.

Thanks in advance for answering.

Yes. Each big book (so far that is the rulebook, Crossroads and Shifting Loyalties) contain all cards and upgrades for all factions from that books 'wave'.

Thanks Loki. The PDF is the way to go for me then. That way I can make cards with readable ( to my presbyopic eyes) text.

Oh gak I misread that

The PDF does not contain these. The PDF is the manual only. There is no PDF of the big books. On the plus side, the PDF is free, but you won't have the cards.

Uh, yeah there is:

Oh wow, I didn't realise they did the big books as PDFs.

Okay, scratch what I said. There's no reason to have the rules manual and this if this didn't have the cards.

Also available here http://drivethrurpg.com/product/133322/Malifaux--Core-Rulebook--2E Where I ordered it. Wargamesvault and drivethrurpg are the same site.

This is a (watermarked, not DRMed) PDF of the full sized book, with the character stories in it. It does indeed contain all the cards, the stories, the artwork and the rules. And it is from the original electronic file, not a scan. I note it was first added in 4 August 2014 but updated in 20 November 2015. I wonder if it would also have all the errata. That would be convenient.

Slow as molasses ( in winter) to load though. But just what I needed.

The good new is that I forgot most of the 1E rules, so I won't have that old rules-new rules conflict that can happen

Thanks guys.
