New PFS GM – How do boons work?


GM Discussion


I'm about to run We Be Goblins!, and there is a boon listed on the chronicle sheet - I have a few questions.

1) Do all the players get this boon, or do I use the 'rolling for 1 or 20' system I've seen in other games? Is this usually specified in the module, or is there a 'way it's always done?'

2) Is this boon available to a player on replay of the module? (Replay based on Guide To PFS Organized Play v6.0 p20)
 
 

The aforementioned boon:
[  ] You Be Goblin!

Silver Crusade 5/5

Welcome to the exciting world of GM'ing!

Everyone who participates in the game gets the boon, whether it's their first time or their fifth. Boons from scenarios and modules are earned or not earned based on the actions of the PC's. In the case of WBG, the rules for running are included with the chronicle.

There are conventions and game days that will have players roll off for special boons that are on their own special chronicles.


Awesome, thanks for answering that! I just couldn't seem to find it anywhere!

3/5

To clarify a bit as there is an exception: We Be Goblins is a 1-2 scenario, so it can be replayed or run an unlimited # of times at level 1. As a 1-2 replayable scenario a player can still only ever apply it to a 2nd level character once when running and once when playing.

P.S. CORE Complication:
... ok, twice if you play / apply it to CORE in addition to standard PFS campaign play.

Additional complication:
And you can get a third 2nd level credit by burning a GM Star replay for it, so, potentially, up to 5 2nd level WBG credits:

1 Standard Player credit for 2nd level;
1 Core Player credit for 2nd level;
1 Standard GM credit for 2nd level;
1 Core GM credit for 2nd level;
1 C/S GM/Player credit for 2nd level, once, for using a GM Star replay.
