Can I get "-1" added back to my list of characters?

When I started PFS back in 2012 I registered two characters online: a "-1" and a "-2". During my first several games I ended up playing my "-2" and deleted my "-1", not knowing that the next character I created would default to "-3".

Fast forward two years and 12 characters later, and I'm about to GM Eyes of the Ten this weekend. I thought it would be humorous to apply the Chronicle boon to a "-1". Before I jot it down, is it possible to have some website guru go through my account and add back in a "-1" for me? Or is it forever lost?

Thanks in advance!

(and I hope this was the right forum to post this)

I've been wondering the same thing Nefreet, since I thought and did the exact same thing.

Glad I'm not alone!


Same here.

I wonder if I GM a game, like First Steps, and report it under "-1" if the system will just create it on its own, and I can edit it afterwards.

Has anyone else tried doing it to see if it works?

Shadow Lodge

Just tried it and it didn't work. :/

So... should I interpret the silence on this as "this isn't possible", or, "this thread is in the wrong sub-section of the forums"?

I would think that this is the right thread.

Without knowing how Paizo does their database stuff... I'd assume it'd be gone. Without the DBA wanting to go in and manually add a -1 for your account (assuming that their system would allow that without messing up the character ID counter for the PFS player table), I don't see that coming up as an option.

Again, my assumptions just from what I know about databases and what I'm guessing their system MAY look like.

So, is there any chance of this happening? I just started using my -1 number even though I can't register it. With the problems of reporting games without characters registered, I'm wondering if I'll always have an issue with my -1 now. :/

One thing that I have noted in reporting my gaming sessions- if I reported a game with a -## number that I did not have registered on the site, those tables did not register as games GM'd until I created that character. As such, you may be running games that you're not getting credit for.

Meh... I've already got 271 tables reported... I'm not too worried... ;)
