Why are the PB Q&A articles (R11-R25) listed as official here even though they were never lists as such in those Rifter issues? Please be be as expansive in the answer as explain it fully.
I dont have an answer for that, though I will shoot off an email to Wayne Smith who would be THE BETTER source of an answer.
Was this ever answered? As an adjunct to the question posed by Drew... Are only the Palladium Fantasy portions of the Q&A considered "official," or the entire Q&A?
I'll see if I can get an answer for you as well by contacting the Q&A author and Wayne.
Greetings and Salutations. I'll note that (unless my memory is faulty) the Best of Rifter issue included a Rifter index of past articles. The Official section didn't include the Q&A in it. Take that for what you will. Farewell and safe journeys.
Rifter #45; Of Bows & Arrows (Archery; expanding rules and abilities) Rifter #52; From Ruins to Runes (Living Rune Weapons; playable characters and NPC) Rifter #55; Home Away From Home (Quorian Culture; expanded from PF Book 9: Baalgor Wastelands)
Official PDF versions of Rifter #45, #52, and #55 can be found at DriveThruRPG.
wow, the list is really lacking. I thought I added more after #62.
Standby. Am sorting data now......attachable list post-#62 will be forthcoming.

Go right ahead. That's what it's there for, everyone should have a master-list.

Is there an updated index available online that's not at Nexus Nine? Everytime I try going there it says I have to install an extention and I'd much rather jump rope with barbed wire.
I have not heard an official answer to my question.
Thou in this topic, in the PF RPG section the zodiac mage is not listed as official. However, it is listed as official in the R50 listing.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
Reading and writing (literacy) is how people on BBS interact.

I would consider the listing in R50 as Official,
