Player PF Number Blunder -- Official Help Needed


GM Discussion

Grand Lodge

Looking over my PFS Event records I noticed I made a huge mistake and need to know how to handle it -- in case it ever becomes a problem.

A few weeks ago a new Player arrived at my Event and wanted to learn about Pathfinder and play through the Scenario I was running. I grabbed my old list of blank PFS Numbers and assigned him the next one on my list, 14415, scratching it off so I wouldn't use it again. The Player (I have no idea his name) enjoyed the Scenario and sorta learned the difference between a d20 and a d10 but has not returned to play Pathfinder (yet).

This was 24 Feb '14, Event 1275 "Ray's PFS Home Game." He played 14415-1; I gave him the code to register in PFS should he want to.

And today, looking over my PFS Event records I noticed that I already gave that number to another Player several months ago.

This was 9 July '13, Event 1275, "Ray's PFS Home Game." I gave out Number 14415 to a new Player and she enjoyed the Scenario -- despite her PC dying -- but hasn't played again. She is the girlfriend of one of my regular Players (and also plays in my non-PFS game).

Thus, my suggested solution (since she has not yet registered the number (I don't think)) is to give her another Number while I Edit my Event record for 9 July '13. This way, if she ever wants to play in PFS again she can, albeit with a different Number -- and the guy, whom I may never see again -- can also register using the 14415 I gave him. (He has my email should he ever have any questions; I do not have his.)

Please, I'd like to know what PFS wants me to do....

That number hasn't been registered on the site (it doesn't auto-populate the GM name if you fill it in as the GM number in the reporting system), so if the July 2013 player is easier to get in contact with, giving her a new number looks like the best option. Remember to make sure her chronicle is updated/reissued with the correct number.

Also you must have been sitting on that sheet of pregenerated numbers for a while if you're still issuing numbers in the 14-thousands!

Yes, I still have about 4 or 5 from that list of ten from, what, 5 years ago? (But my number is even 3000 earlier.)
