Reporting Home Sessions


Pathfinder Adventure Card Society


So, this weekend, we've started playing through the OP scenarios at home, using the class decks and the OP rules.

My wife and I have each been playing 2 characters. My understanding was that we can each pick 1 and report it online, but I can't seem to find where/how we do it - there are loads of threads vaguely relating to this, but I can't find a sticky thread, or any obvious link to where I'm supposed to look / how to do this.

Can anyone shed any light?

This is where you start. Do you have a Pathfinder Society number yet? You'll need to get one at that link. Then you should probably create your Pathfinder Card Character under the Player tab. Then go to the GM tab and create an event to report.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

So by the sounds of it, this is your first time playing OP? In that case, welcome!

The first thing you and your wife need to do is register for Pathfinder Society and create your characters. The easiest way to do this (that I know of) is to click on the Pathinder Society logo to the left of the webpage. Then either click on the My Pathfinder Society link on the top menu, or click on the "Join the Pathfinder Society and create your character now!" link just a little ways down the page (you can't miss it). At this point, you should be prompted to register for PFS. If you haven't played any public OP games, don't worry about the option that mentions being given a number and a confirmation code. If your wife has not created a general Paizo.com account, she'll need to do that first.

After you have registered for Paizo.com and PFS, you are now ready to create your characters! I'm not sure, but you may end up on your My Pathfinder Society page after you register, but if not follow the same links described above. It should also default to the Player tab when you go to this page (if it's not already selected, click on it). Then click on the Register a New Card Game Character button, fill in the appropriate information on the next page, and click the Submit Changes button. You should now have a character listed under your player tab. Take note of the number associated with the character (for your first, it should be your PFS ID#, then 1001).

After you and your wife have both registered your characters, you are now ready to report your sessions. If you are playing two player games, only one of you needs to report it and you will no longer need to do anything with your characters unless you made a mistake or there is a glitch (there is a common one where the class of your character might revert to Fighter, but still have the right name; hopefully that will be fixed soon). Before you report your session, you first need to create an event. To do this, click on the GM/Event Coordinator tab of the My Pathfinder Society page. Next, click on Create Your Event button. Fill in the appropriate information. A lot of this is optional, including giving the even a name, but be sure it has a date and time of day, uncheck the "Event is Public" box so it doesn't show up on the Event list/search, and check the boxes of the scenarios you plan to report under this event. Then click the Save Changes button at the bottom.

When you go to the GM/Event Coordinator tab, you should now be able to see your newly created event. When you're ready to report sessions, click the Report link associated with the event. You will now report each individual scenario you played. On the dropdown menu, select the scenario you are reporting. Make sure there is a date in the Date field. If you won the scenario, check the box beside "Scenario missions accomplished." From there, input the PFS ID and character numbers of each player's character and check all boxes that apply (what kind of upgrades were taken by the character, feats gained, and if they took the scenario reward). If you are finished, you can click the Save and Exit button at the bottom, or if you have more scenarios to report, you can click the Save and Go To New Session button. Repeat this process until you have finished reporting all of your scenario that you played during this event's time frame.

After you have reported all of your sessions, it is time to finalize your Event. To do this, go to your GM/Event Coordinator tab and click the Edit link beside your event. Check the "I have completed reporting for this event" check box right below the Event Description field, then scroll down to the bottom and click the Save Changes button. From then on, your event will not be visible by default on your page, but you can click on the "Show Completely Reported Events" link to pull it up if you maybe want to look at the sessions your reported for the event to make sure it pulled the characters correctly.

For now on you will just be creating new events unless you or your wife wants to create new characters. It doesn't matter which of you creates and reports the events, as long as you use the right numbers for the characters.

I hope this was helpful. Let me us know if you have any questions. Have fun and good luck!

Thanks, pluvia33, I wasn't able to type up everything that was needed on my iPad. Not the easiest to swap screens around to type out instructions.

Speaking of registering characters, there doesn't appear to be any way to register a Rogue Jirelle at the moment. I left the name field empty, and she appears to have registered fine as "Rogue: [blank]", but whoever's in charge of the webforms will need to add that eventually...


Yes, Tanis knows about the issue and I believe it is on the IT team's list of things to fix. Registering a Rogue without selecting a character is the current workaround for this, so you're good.
