Digital signatures.

Another reason a form-fillable PDF would be nice.

I use initials.

I can't imagine that the signature is terribly important that initialling it won't be enough. There's the reporting system and the honour system to cover it.

Here's my question about tracking: are we supposed to track *ammo*? If so, what's the right way to do it?

There is a special section for tracking charges on wands, but not for other things that are bought in groups and expended in subsets. I really don't want to make an inventory line for each and every arrow....

Also, truthfully, given that each arrow is 0.05gp, it's false precision to worry about their purchase and expenditure anyway. After just one adventure, each arrow is already on 0.01% (that's 10^-4) of the character's wealth, and I don't believe we really know these numbers to four significant figures. It only gets worse as time goes by. So, really, it's a waste of time to track arrows.

That being said, I've been anal and have been writing down "3 crossbow bolts used" or what-not on chronicle sheets where it happens. It's not clear how to do this with the inventory system, however.

My suggestion would be: for items that are individually worth less than 1gp and that are bought in lots of 20 or less, just keep track of how much you have yourself, but there's no need to account for all of it. It's not worth the time.

But... what's the real rule? As written, it would seem that we're supposed to track each and every arrow expended, but the inventory tracking sheets aren't well-designed for that level of detail.

A single amount for "ammo upkeep" is pretty easy, base it off the most amount of ammo you're likely to use and charge yourself that amount every scenario. Even works for gunslingers.

Special material ammo separately, unless you use it all the time, in which case treat it as above with the higher gp amount.

Is there a requirement for signing the Inventory Tracking Sheet (other a one-time sign-off if a different version had been used before)? I didn't see a requirement for that in the guide. If there isn't the form-fillable version will make it super easy for online use. Step 8 on pages 35-36 doesn't seem to call out any signing/initials.

I gotta get me a signature rubber stamp. Now where did I put that mail order form at?

Dark Archive 4/5 5/5 ****

Well, I personally think the sheets are a good thing. Not everyone has been good at tracking there purchases, so this will help.

Personally, I have been using a spreadsheet for this. Has been a great help with my gunslinger, but rely for all characters. I have just been transferring stuff from there to my chronicles, by hand, and often onto the back.

That being said, I can see that I need to go to one 1" notebook per character. Maybe a 1/2" will do. Good thing I got my iPad so that I have room for them all!!

Seriously, since these are only required going forward, let us give its chance!!

I worked at a Boy Scout Camp, and I would need to sign a couple hundred blue cards every week. My signature quickly became shorter, but knowing what I did with other staff member's rubber stamped signatures, I was never getting one of those. (I still have a card that says I am officially BSA trained in Bulls****ing.)

Now with signing chronicles, I'm glad I have a shortened signature. (Although to be honest, you can tell which is mine since I'm the only person I know of who signs chronicles in pink.)

I've been keeping track of my characters' purchases, ammo, wand charges and other stuff by writing it on their chronicle sheets. If the list has been big enough, I've printed it on the back of them.

While the inventory sheets are a pretty good idea, I much dislike that the result is even more paper having to be printed and carried around. Then again, I suppose I could print the inventory sheet on the back of a chronicle sheet as well.

One issue I see is that as characters keep buying more stuff and using it, eventually they'll end up with several inventory sheets that each have one or two not-yet-used items on them, which sounds like a pain to check.

Personally, I would prefer it if the characters, chronicles and other bureaucracy could be kept in digital form. Easier to make chages when necessary, no need to print or use paper so much and less chance of accidentally losing papers.

I am hoping that we will be able to transfer items from an older inventory tracking sheet to the newest one to avoid having that problem.

That is, the player brings a new and updated inventory sheet (with a note: transferred from ITS #) to the GM, with the old ones. The GM verifies the changes, crosses off the items on the old sheet, initials that, then signs the new sheet.

Maybe this has been asked and answered (and if so, I apologize for asking it again), but how are these sheets to be used? Is it one Inventory Sheet per character per Chronicle Sheet (with the Inventory Sheet being paired to its associated Chronicle Sheet) or are we to keep Inventory Sheets separate as a running, chronological accounting of all purchases, expenditures, transactions, etc? I ask because the "Character Chronicle #" header that appears just once above each column of inventory lines appears to imply the former. If the latter is the intent, it would seem to me that each inventory line should have a place to denote the number of the Chronicle Sheet to which any purchase or sale is related.

Clarification on the use of this form (or a link to said clarification if it already exists) would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, Last night I copied over some of my characters, and timed myself doing so:

5th level magus - 10 minutes
5th level gunslinger - 10 minutes
8th level barbarian/fighter/alchemist/cavalier - 20 minutes
3rd level oracle of life - 3 minutes

I'll do one of my level 11+ tonight and see

I think that's the point of the "Character Chronicle #". For each item, you enter in the little box the Chronicle # where it was "Bought", "Sold" or "Expended".

I admit I am worried about the gming having to be present rule for purchasing items. Some of the venues in the Boston area are very tight for time.

If I get a table of six people (which is a common size for the boston lodge) underneath the rules it is fairly likely that all of them will want me to sign off on items that they are wanting to purchase. Since they did not know how much gold they had finishing the last scenario they did I suspect most of them will want to think about what they want to buy for a little bit before they do so.

Now I'm going to go off what Michael Brock estimated it would take per sheet and say 2-3 minutes per player. So with six players that is 12-18 minutes.

This is not taking into account time between players. It takes some time to hand a sheet back to players and then get the next set. I would say 10-20 seconds. So one to two more minutes for the table.

Finally there will be some items that I just don't recognize an item, or I think the price is wrong. I know most items and which book they are from, but I don't think I'm going to want to initial something without checking it. This could add anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. I'm only going to add this once because I don't think it will happen more than once every six players.

For my math is not a subtraction sign just denoting a range of numbers.
So [12 to 18]+[2 to 3]+[5 to 10]= 19-30 minutes. That is a very significant chunk of time. Especially at a convention or a venue where you only have a very limited time to get the scenario done.

That's what I've seen discussed in this thread, although you make a good point--it doesn't say that in the Guide. Which will likely lead to issues: "Why didn't you have your GMs sign off on your purchases?" "... What the hell are you talking about?"

Edit: Specifically, on page 36 it says the GM needs to initial rolls to scribe spells or train animal companions, but re: equipment it just says it should be printed on the sheet, not signed off by a GM. If we're going to require that equipment always be signed off, which will require GM initials basically every single game, I would recommend putting that in the Guide.

And adding a box on the Inventory Sheet for those GM initials?


I guess I’m a bit puzzled on what items and where the GM needs to sign off on items you’ve purchased/sold.

The only sign-offs my GMs have done are next to the boxes on the side (gold, Day Job check, EXP, etc), or if learn a new spell (he signs next to each one) or if the Day Job check needs to be put on one of the lines (no box for it).

Does the GM need to sign (initial) next to each item you purchase? Or is it next to the “Items Bought/Sold” box?

Here is the problem I am seeing. The primary purpose of the inventory track sheet is to make things easier for a DM to audit. This makes a digital printed version of the sheet the most optimal form of of this sheet as it avoids bad handwriting, bad spelling, and manual corrections that can make a manually filled out tracking sheet hard to read.

If you require signitures on the sheet, a digital version becomes pointless. Even if you fill in the equipment ahead of time so that it can be signed off on, the next time to print it out you lose all the signatures. On top of that, I don't see how DM signatures help any with an audit since you have to check everything anyway.

This may seem like a stupid question, but where are we supposed to get these sheets from, physically speaking? Will it be GM's handing them out with chronicles? Or is there now a sudden requirement to be able to print things out to play PFS? If we write out a looseleaf sheet with the same sort of information, is that good enough?

If you don't have the means to print out a copy of it, and if you know someone coming to Gen Con, have them speak to me, and I will make sure they bring back 10 blank copies for you.


The sheet is at the back of the Organized play book for Society, which is needed as it’s a core assumption and also a free download.

So yes, you need to print the page, but no different than having to print a character sheet.

Though there's no requirement to use an official character sheet, so you could just write one by hand. Or just keep it in digital form on a tablet or something.


Yes, that’s true, an official character sheet isn’t required. They could make it where the GM is required to print it out, like with the chronicle sheet. But then that is just more put on the GMs shoulders after printing out the chronicle sheets, faction missions (although that’s going away) and purchasing the scenario.

So I feel the players should print them out themselves, but I think the biggest issue is if they don’t have a means to print. However, I don’t think I’ve gone to a session where a player hasn’t had their character on a printed out sheet, whether it’s HeroLab or the official character sheets. So I think it’s not a lot to expect players to print out their own tracking sheets.

I'm writing into the new Guide that it is all magic items that need to be recorded on the sheet. Mundane equipment does not need to be recorded. mundane equipment can just be listed on the Chronicle. Since there isn't a GM initial box on the Inventory Tracking Form, the GM should initial to the left of the entry line. Thanks for the input.

What should a GM do if time is very tight and there are a large number of players who need to get their items purchased?

Take the 30 seconds per sheet to initial beside each purchase. That would be a max of 3 minutes. The player should be responsible to have the pages of the book he is purchasing a magic item from open, so the GM can check the gold piece cost if he or she needs to.

Mike,

Well, there are some pretty expensive mundane items as well. Like special materials and (non-magical) consumables can add up.

So I’m just saying there could be some relatively big gaps with player funds when GMs audit with the tracking sheet.

Then we can include a line that it is any magical item and any mundane item valued at XX GP or higher. Thoughts?

If so, 500gp would probably be a good threshold. It's the first breakpoint in the Fame table, and covers mithral and adamantine purchases which are the big ones.

This is going to up the hassle factor for online games seriously. It's much more than 30 seconds per player there. Everybody uses different stuff for software to send it back and forth. If a character is used both FtF and for online games, then there also has to be harcopies, which means that there has to be scanning, so a fillable PDF no longer works. (Plus, you can't really "signature initial" a fillable PDF.) People are going to send images or PDFs or what not back and forth, image quality will degrade as either JPEG files are decoded and re-encoded or as PDF files are read and written at different DPIs each time. Plus, just the time and pain of doing this is a fair amount.

Add to the fact you're not just sitting there passing papers back and forth, but sending email and waiting for the person on the other side to complete the paper work and mail it back to you.

I agree that this is not a big deal for FtF games, but all this initialing is a logistic nightmare for online games. Hell, as it is, it's already pulling teeth to convince players just to send me copies of character sheets and chronicle sheets. The rules (and Joseph Caubo) are clear that players have to do this when the GM asks, but a lot complain, and the sense of the community I get is that the general view is that the GM is at least being a little overbearing in even doing this. Adding all this initialing... yikes.

if it is on the always available list then I don't think it needs to be GM approved. Only items bought with PP or fame limits should be checked.

I guess the question is what is an acceptable differential of total gold earned and items currently owned/expended?

Like with my Alchemist, even though my consumables are 1/3 the cost, I will be going through a lot of those like water, so if I don’t log anything under 500 GP, there is going to be a large differential on my total gold earned and items of less than 500 GP owned/expended.

Granted, my items owned will come drastically less than my total amount of gold, so maybe you are saying that would be ok. But that’s why I’m asking if that large differential is ok, in either direction.

I agree with CRobledo, IMO 500 gp is a good target.

It is higher than pretty much all the minor arms and items, and lines up with the first fame bump for non-mundane items.

XX should be set at 25 in my opinion. 25 is the cheapest magic item that I know of, level 1 scroll, so there will already be entries of that value on the tracking sheet.

I'm sure that you could also add these in even if it wasn't required though. If you have the time, and really want to make it easy for the GM, just record everything. It's not required, but it's above and beyond. I am probably recording everything on mine.

Twenty five is my initial thought as well. It covers most alchemical items and poisons in the UE, and should cover most ammo in blocks of 50 and the like.

The idea for the gold value limit is for nonmagical items; magic items (like scrolls of any level) are always recorded regardless of cost.

At least, that's my understanding.

Another question I have.

When applying GM credit does the GM initial their own items or do they need to wait until the next time they play to get another GM to initial it?

I too think that 500 would be reasonable.

And to keep my accounting accurate, I will likely have a line "misc adventuring gear XX gp" on a regular basis to cover my expendables.

A GM can initial their own items, the same as they can sign off on their GM reward Chronicle sheet.

That is very generous of you Mike! For Gencon specifically I am covered, I am rooming with a VL friend who is one of our big motivations to go to Indianapolis. I am sure he will get my husband and I set up to start.

What I am wondering about is what happens after that. My character sheets are indeed hand-written, as are those of a some of folks I game with. None of us have consistent access to printing. I don't know how common our situation is, but surely there must be a few others like us. How people could lack consistent printing access is certainly variable - for some friends it is lack of money to put in for printer ink, for others a disability that means even with money they can't just go to a print shop. I'm trying to keep personal stuff out of this, and just talk about the general limited-printing situation.

I think of just this past Monday, going to a game that had been scheduled on just two days notice. I realized a few hours before the game that the character I had claimed I was playing had leveled on his last GM credit and was no longer appropriate. So I wrote out a new paladin who would be appropriate, and we had a great time. Under a stickler version of this new setup, by my understanding he wouldn't even have been allowed to purchase his starting equipment.

When I agree to GM, we have time to talk about who in the group that is going to play will make the chronicle printing happen. If no one has the ability, we can't play. That is a requirement of the organized campaign I can plan around. I'm not excited about addding to that planning the requirement that someone commit to making enough inventory sheets for any printerless folks that need one as well, but again, I could plan around it.

As a player, the inability to take my paper, pencil, hardcopy PF books and make a legal PFS character with equipment on the fly for me or a new person to the group is something I can't plan around as easily. I don't know in advance when I will need or want to do that. I could even be put in a situation where I wouldn't feel comfortable purchasing flavorful and occasionally useful adventuring gear because it would take the remaining slots on my sheet and I don't know when I will get a chance to procure a new one. That doesn't make PFS unplayable or anything, but it does make it a little less accessible.

All that said, the fact that I am the first person to ask about this does make it seem that my situation is not very common (at least among forum readers!), and I understand if we're not a big enough demographic to make rules for.

Edit: The mundanity rules help, thanks!

I would say that the GM credit characters, that the GM in question can initial. If they can be trusted to GM, initial other sheets, why wouldn't they be trusted to initial their own sheets?

If the purpose of the inventory tracking sheet is to make audits easier, how is leaving off mundane equipment going to do anything but confuse people?

Sadly, this will invalidate any digitally printed version of the form that might be much easier for DMs to read than some people's chicken scratches. Heck, I have enough of a problem reading character names and numbers on adventure tracking forms when I go to report an event.

Can I ask why the campaign staff thinks its important to have DMs sign off on every purchase?
