New hub: PC rules changes with before/after; seed personas Nov 2021; LOTR Legacy_Ruling_1 pattern; cite announce+Wayback

New page

'''Note:''' This is a '''fan encyclopedia''' index of selected Players Committee (PC) '''rules changes''' with before/after comparisons. It is '''not''' the Players Committee and does not replace [https://www.starwarsccg.org/ starwarsccg.org] or the current [[Players Committee Advanced Rulebook]]. Prefer dated primary or archived announces; do not invent game text.

'''Layout inspiration:''' LOTR-TCG Player's Council wiki ruling pages such as [https://wiki.lotrtcgpc.net/wiki/Legacy_Ruling_1 Legacy Ruling 1] (problem wording → dated decision → final text / where incorporated). Card-level errata comparisons use a separate Original / Errata / Current pattern (see [[Errata on Projective Telepathy]] and [https://wiki.lotrtcgpc.net/wiki/PC_Errata/Table PC Errata/Table]).

== How to use this hub ==

* Each '''seed entry''' below is one dated PC announcement or ruling package.
* Expand later by adding new <code>===</code> sections (more rule changes) and by linking card-level errata pages under [[Errata]] / [[PC Errata]].
* For constructed pools see [[Formats]]. For rules documents by era see [[Rulebooks]]. For org history see [[History of the Players Committee]].

== Index of rule-change entries ==

{| class="wikitable"
! # !! Topic !! Announced !! Effective !! Status on this wiki
|-
| 1 || [[#Personas rule changes (November 2021)|Personas rule changes]] || 6 November 2021 || 9 November 2021 || Seeded from PC announce

''Count of rule-change entries on this hub: '''1''' (expandable).''

== Personas rule changes (November 2021) ==

=== Source and dates ===

The Players Committee posted '''Significant Rule Changes on Personas Announced''' on '''6 November 2021'''. The announce states the updates apply to all official Players Committee sanctioned events and all GEMP formats on '''9 November 2021'''.<ref name="personas2021">[https://www.starwarsccg.org/significant-rule-changes-on-personas-announced/ Significant Rule Changes on Personas Announced], starwarsccg.org (6 November 2021). Wayback capture used for offline verification: [http://web.archive.org/web/20211111224905id_/https://www.starwarsccg.org/significant-rule-changes-on-personas-announced/ 11 November 2021]</ref>

=== Pattern (Legacy Ruling style) ===

{| class="wikitable"
! Field !! Content (from PC announce)
|-
| '''Problem / design goal''' || Open design space for characters who work on either side of the Force; update related persona / uniqueness / out-of-play handling; unify Sidious naming.<ref name="personas2021" />
|-
| '''Dated decision''' || Announced '''6 November 2021'''; tournament/GEMP effective '''9 November 2021'''.<ref name="personas2021" />
|-
| '''Where incorporated''' || PC announce directs readers to the guide and forum Q&A; current comprehensive rules live in [[Players Committee Advanced Rulebook]] (verify current persona / Sidious wording there for play). This wiki page summarizes the announce; it is not a substitute for the rulebook.
|}

=== Before / after (six numbered changes) ===

Quoted summaries below follow the announce's six numbered headings. '''Before''' lines are short labels for the prior common understanding the announce is changing; they are not invented rulebook quotes. '''After''' lines paraphrase only what the announce states.<ref name="personas2021" />

==== 1. Two Landos (and other personas!) ====

{| class="wikitable"
! Before (prior uniqueness / persona practice the announce changes)
! After (PC announce, effective 9 November 2021)
|-
| style="vertical-align:top; max-width:28em" | Same persona could not usefully exist as opposing Light and Dark versions on table at once under the old persona blocking practice the announce replaces.
| style="vertical-align:top; max-width:28em" | '''It is now possible for the same persona to exist on both sides of the Force at the same time.''' The announce cites a forthcoming Dark Side Lando in Set 17 usable even if a Light Side Lando is already on table.<ref name="personas2021" />
|}

==== 2. Uniqueness rules still apply ====

{| class="wikitable"
! Before
! After
|-
| style="vertical-align:top" | Unique cards with the '''exact same card title''' could not share the table.
| style="vertical-align:top" | '''Uniqueness still applies:''' if two unique cards (example given: Light Lobot and Dark Lobot) have the exact same card title, they still are not allowed on table at the same time. Conversion example: if Tonnika Sisters convert to Light, Dark could not play another Tonnika Sisters.<ref name="personas2021" />
|}

==== 3. Capturing and stealing ====

{| class="wikitable"
! Before
! After
|-
| style="vertical-align:top" | Capturing / stealing denied the opponent use of those cards.
| style="vertical-align:top" | '''Kept:''' any persona who is a captive on table prevents Light from deploying that persona; any stolen card on table prevents the other player from deploying that persona.<ref name="personas2021" />
|}

==== 4. Out of play ====

{| class="wikitable"
! Before
! After
|-
| style="vertical-align:top" | Out-of-play handling was not described in this announce's "each player" form.
| style="vertical-align:top" | '''Each player has their own out-of-play (OOP) area.''' If your Lando goes OOP, you (not your opponent) are prevented from deploying Lando again that game. If you steal Falcon and it goes OOP onto your OOP area, you (not your opponent) are prevented from deploying Falcon again that game.<ref name="personas2021" />
|}

==== 5. Mind Tricks Don't Work On Me ====

{| class="wikitable"
! Before
! After
|-
| style="vertical-align:top" | (Announce addresses edge cases of multiple copies of one persona on one side.)
| style="vertical-align:top" | '''Each player is allowed ONE of each persona on table.''' If a convoluted legal plan would put two Falcons on the same side at once, the rules will require placing one in your Lost Pile (it is not "just lost"). Illegal plays remain a TD matter.<ref name="personas2021" />
|}

==== 6. Sidious, Palpatine and Emperor ====

{| class="wikitable"
! Before (announce's stated prior practice)
! After (PC announce)
|-
| style="vertical-align:top; max-width:28em" | Palpatine / Sidious / Emperor had long been treated as separated for gameplay; the FAQ notes this stood for over 20 years in large part because Light Palpatine needed to stay separate from Dark's Dark Jedi Master.<ref name="personas2021" />
| style="vertical-align:top; max-width:28em" | Unified as one persona, '''"Sidious"'''. Each player may have one Sidious persona card on table at a time. Card references: "Sidious" → any of his cards (announce lists Senator Palpatine, Darth Sidious, Lord Sidious, Emperor Palpatine, The Emperor, Emperor Palpatine Foreseer, Palpatine Emperor Returned); "Palpatine" → Sidious versions with Palpatine in the title; "Emperor" → Sidious versions with Emperor in the title.<ref name="personas2021" />
|}

=== Examples (from the announce) ===

The announce includes worked examples (Lando uniqueness vs conversion, stolen Millennium Falcon, Sidious deploy discounts, Force Lightning requiring "Emperor" in title). See the primary post for full example text.<ref name="personas2021" />

== Card errata comparisons ==

Card-level Original / Errata / Current tables live on dedicated pages (LOTR [https://wiki.lotrtcgpc.net/wiki/PC_Errata/Table PC Errata/Table] pattern):

* [[Errata on Projective Telepathy]] — Decipher printed text vs current official Appendix text; PC divergent-errata gap documented; related Anger, Fear, Aggression (V) ruling

Stub indexes: [[Errata]], [[PC Errata]].
