Can you guys explain to me how GM stars work and when they kick in?

Congratulations! :D

The first star is 10 tables of credit. Modules—including the Free RPG Day modules—count as two tables each.

That might be what is throwing your count off.

The second star is 30 tables.
Third star is 60 tables.
Fourth star is 100 tables.
Fifth star is 150 tables, a number of which must be specials.

Scarab Sages 5/5 5/5 *** Venture-Captain, Washington—Spokane

Congratulations!! As The Fox explained, your first star was earned by running a total of 10 Pathfinder Society Scenarios or Modules/Adventure Paths in Pathfinder Society mode. Each Module/Adventure Path is worth 2 table credits while a scenario is worth 1 table credit.

You mean... I've earned this one? Really? This star is not just a computer mistake? Because yes, I've GMed 4 modules. Along with a bunch of other scenarios. Am I officially allowed the happy dance?

Congrats! You now can replay one scenario/module for credit and every time you use the shirt/folio reroll, you add a +1 to the second roll!

I think they retired that one for being too powerful.

Having just played Siege of Serpents...

....I'm pretty sure that:

  • Having Aram Zey yell at me now might be really scary!

Thanks all!

Can I get a link to an official source saying that modules give 2 table credit?

After you GM a module, go to your My Pathfinder Society Page and look at the session under GM Sessions. It will indicate that you got 2 tables of credit. It is built into the reporting system.

Dark Archive 1/5

Yeah, I got that. But where does it actually mention this as a quotable reference? I've got someone asking me for verification, but i wont have any from reporting for at least a week... if the gamecon doesn't flop horribly.

Silver Crusade Venture-Agent, Florida–Altamonte Springs

As the Fox says, it just happens. Closest to it being in print is written in here. where it states that it takes anywhere from 8-15 hours to run non-scenarios. As an incentive paizo just does it. I know one guy most of his 3 stars is GM credit running modules and APs.

Edit: BTW Congrats Hmm

Here is the first thread that mentions modules and GM credit

Do you mean to tell me we could have seen you dance on Sunday? Disappointed...

4/5 5/55/55/5 *** Venture-Lieutenant, Minnesota—Minneapolis

She loves to dance. All you have to do is make a comment she can somehow twist into an invitation and she will dance with you.

She dragged Keith into a Tango on Sunday.

Oh cool, that means the Emerald Spire I GMed gave 2 tables of credit. Hopefully I'll be able to get a star soon.

We're a lodge that has a lot of people with great personalities, big hearts, and a penchant for silly costumes. (As you can tell from this photo of Jon Dehning and me.)

Yeah, we have a blast!

Hmm

Well, they will still be around, until they degrade, but not on you.

Have you considered donating the shorn hair? I seem to recall that there are some organizations who use it to make wigs and such for people undergoing chemo.

Fifth star also requires a review by at least two officers, I think, one of them must be a Venture Captain or higher rank.

PFSOP Guild Guide v7, page 39 wrote:

You are eligible to obtain a fifth star based on a number of criteria. To obtain a fifth star, you must accomplish the following achievements.

First, a potential 5-Star GM must have run a total of 150 Pathfinder Society game sessions, including at least 50 different adventures and 10 or more Specials or Exclusive events over your entire history as a GM.

Second, once you qualify to be a 5-Star GM, you must work with your Venture-Captain to arrange to run a Pathfinder Society session in the presence of a Paizo staff member, a Venture-Captain, or a Venture-Lieutenant. This designated Paizo representative will evaluate your rules knowledge, improvisational skills, preparation, and ability to provide a fair and fun experience for Pathfinder Society players.

Finally, at the recommendation of the Paizo representative, you may be granted a 5th star, which will be noted on your paizo.com user profile, on your Pathfinder Society membership card, and on your posts to the Pathfinder Society messageboard at paizo.com. Paizo announces and recognizes all 5-Star GMs by name at both Paizo Con and Gen Con annually.

That is the plan. I don't think anyone will take the shorn beard hair, though.

I will go from two feet of hair to zero hair.

Can't hurt to ask, the worst that can happen is that they will say "No."

Also, keep the hat. You will find your scalp is going to burn easily for a while. And don't forget sunscreen, if you don't have a hat.

Shampooing:
If you use a special shampoo now, keep using it on your scalp, you will still probably need it.

Dude, thanks for the advice but I am very familiar with a shaved dome. I would get one hair cut in college; every January I would shave my head and then let it grow back over the next year. I have plenty of experience with funny hair styles.

Mohawk? Yep! Traditional as well as liberty spiked. Funny colors? Yep! every color of the rainbow.

Andy is the one who needs to keep a cap on. That dude is fish belly white.
