Any difference from Kobold Quarterly?

How does the quest work in PFS?

The Chronicle sheet has no XP, but does leave the Prestige/Fame box open for some to be gained? I'm assuming 1 since there are no faction missions.

It this meant to be played straight up or included in an Absalom scenario?

Quests give no Prestige Points, no gold, and no XP. They're just extra encounters that provide a boon for PCs who go through them.

Nice, I have one question though; can this be replayed multiple times or does this count as a scenario - in that you can only apply credit once as a player (and once as a GM)?

And on a related note; can the person who GM's this get a chronicle including boons as well?

My guess would be this scenario can only be played once (or twice as GM credit).

There's no tick box to add this quest to an event in the session management page yet.

Quests are not reportable because they don't grant XP or Prestige Points. They're just an extra encounter to use to fill some time, serve as a demo, or to run before a thematically linked scenarios (in this case, maybe "Sewer Dragons of Absalom").

I'm curious too. Is this different from the one published in KQ?

Nope. It's the same version as published in Kobold Quarterly #17. We have more Quests planned for future issues of KQ, and those will be exclusive to the magazine for a time and then also appear here on Paizo.com.

Quests are not reportable because they don't grant XP or Prestige Points. They're just an extra encounter to use to fill some time, serve as a demo, or to run before a thematically linked scenarios (in this case, maybe "Sewer Dragons of Absalom").

So, presumably, GMing a quest doesn't count toward the GM star rating?

What kind of boons does this quest offer for completing it?

We played this yesterday and had fun - it became a quick emergency mission immediately after finishing First Steps while the new Pathfinder PCs were still in Absalom - worked well in that context too.

I have come to record the session today but found the comments here.

For consideration please:

o It would be nice (no more) to have a PC record as having played it in the on-line record, even though it grants no PP,XP & GP

o More importantly, it'd be good to give a GM credit as they still have to prepare and, in yesterday's case, 'eat' the Quest - half a point??

Thanks

Correct. GMing a quest does not count toward a GM rating.

Correct. GMing a quest does not count toward a GM rating.

Does this mean that it can be run any number of times? I'm thinking of taking it to a con for downtimes between slots.

No gold, no XP, no fame or prestige. OK.

Can't be reported at all. So if a character dies, that doesn't count either, right?

And any gold spent, items used, etc come back at the end of the scenario? If not, I think a lot of players will not be interested in risking life and loot for a one-time buff boon...

Why is there even a chronicle sheet? Oh yeah, the one-time buff boons...

I like the concept, don't get me wrong, but a few GP or a possibility of 1 fame point if handled well would certainly make it more appealing to players I think.

what concerns me more is the actual quest,

So... Any plans for releasing more quests anytime soon?

It's an occupational hazard.
