Does anyone know if there are plans to update the various PDF crew packs (or release new ones) for second edition?
I don’t think so, I think the intent is to go forwards, do new stuff. I don’t think there’s even a guide for converting old stuff. Even if they did go back…I imagine the crew packs will be bottom of the pile.
I’m afraid you’ll have to convert them by hand.
They did put out a blog post about compatibility.
No plans to update existing 1e material. The focus, indeed, is on new content. As the team has time, we’re hoping to release short documents for each product with key conversion information. Low priority atm due to the many other products Modiphius has in development company-wide.
