PFS reporting issue - "show all scenarios" function


Website Feedback


For some reason the "show all scenarios" option now seems to be disabled for me and is no longer giving me a drop-down list.

I'm trying to edit a game reported under 62037 as I apparently reported it under -18 rather than -08.

I think now that there are twice the amount of scenarios (Core and normal) it broke "Show all scenarios". I came here to report it as well.

and I make three.....

Verified that it's not showing the full list. We're looking at a fix, but for the short term if you need to report a scenario being run at an event that was not on your initial selection when you created the event, you can just edit the event to add the additional scenario, then it will show up to be reported normally.

Same effect, different path.

Unfortunately, I don't think that option exists if the event code is "owned" by one person and the reporting is done by another as the only options are "Sessions & Report" with no "Edit" option.

The work around only work if all of the options are listed.

It appears that there are not currently options to list the individual chronicles for Rise Of the Runelords, Thornkeep, Emerald Spire, The Dragon's Demand and Tears at Bitter Manor. Any selection for Wardens of the Reborn Forge and Plunder & Peril are missing altogether.

I noticed this when trying to report level 1 of the Emerald Spire.


The reporting system has been this way for the past couple of days for both the RPG and ACG. It seems that the system has wiped out the scenario names from each of my event reports, but still has all of the character information in place. New reports can be made when choosing a previously finished scenario and will hold as if normally reported.

TimD - Ironically, that's how the system is supposed to work. Only owners (or folks they delegate) are supposed to add new scenarios that way. The "show all" created a bypass to that security and let effectively anyone add anything, which is concerning for obvious reasons.

We're having an internal debate now on the future of that functionality. While we recognize it provides a shortcut, that shortcut by it's nature can be used for malicious actions (not saying anyone has, but the option is there).

For now, the owner of the event (or individuals they have assigned as able to edit that event) will have to do the editing for scenarios not included when the event was created via the process I listed above. We'll let folks know when we come to a decision on the future of "view all".

Are you looking into the issue where modules that have multiple chronicle sheets do not have the option to select the individual chronicles?

I sort of figured that it was working as intended in that regard, I was just illustrating that (at least for some of us), the work-around isn't something we can use.

While I can see the worry for abuse, the functionality of not having to generate multiple PFS #'s for different venues is a huge bonus.
As an example, the store I'm the liaison for has had at least 5 PFS #"s affiliated with it that I'm aware of, and some of those owners are either no longer involved in PFS or live out of state. I'm not sure what, if any, impact having multiple ID#'s for the same venue would have for internal database / reporting purposes for you folks at Paizo, but it's one reason I've been reluctant to just add several #'s for an ongoing venue.

I'm not trying to be critical of your processes, just trying to provide perspective from at least one user's point-of-view.

Thanks for the update!

I'm having problems with reporting Emerald Spire levels. I ran level 3 a couple of days ago and in the reporting page it just shows "The Emerald Spire Superdungeon" instead of separate levels. Should I wait for this to get fixed before I report my game?


I am the only one reporting under by event number and the show all scenarios tab still does not work.

From what Cort said above, their current work around for this is to use the Edit function to add the scenario & then select it so that you can report it. They are aware that "show all" isn't working.

This is a limitation that our system currently has when reporting events that are able to be played multiple times for credit, or Adventures that are able to be played for more than 4 prestige.

We're currently working on a long term solution to address this in the future, however I'm also checking for easier short term solutions and I'll give you an update with any pertinent information. In the mean time documenting your completed sessions with the available Emerald Spire chronicle sheets is your best option.

I've also noticed that some of the scenarios and modules are messed up for reporting.

Specifically Thornkeep - it seems to only have one entry for five modules and they don't give the right amount of gm credit and with one entry, they don't stack right on the characters.


Yea I have seen this too, the Thornkeep reporting system is all screwed up!

It's not that important for local games, I do keep an eye on my own GM points vs what paizo has listed. But if I want to run games outside of my area and I say I have 3 stars, but Paizo says I have 2...it causes undue drama especially when my sessions don't line up with what I claim I have.

I mean, that's 8 gm points that is listed as 1 - and showing as broken on my character I applied them to as well.

Is there any update as to when the reporting tool will be fixed?
