Reporting Core Games

Silver Crusade 5/5 5/5 **

When I report a Core game do I still have to worry about Core Characters and the characters they play with magically becoming Regular Campaign characters if anything at all is wrong?

Two cases :
1) The character is registered as Regular Campaign. I'm pretty sure that this still completely screws up the entire table
2) If the character isn't registered at all, what happens? Does it matter if the character later gets registered as Regular Campaign/Core.

I was just entering a game and I could enter only 1 of the 5 PCs. It was a newbie game so quite likely some of the characters just aren't registered. Or, maybe the site was just slow in responding and the characters are registered but not being filled in (this definitely can happen). Or maybe I'm misreading the number.

[Don Quixote Mode]The fact that I have to worry about this is completely absurd and should be fixed. Its insanely error prone, especially since there is next to no feedback that there is a problem when the form is filled out[/Don Quixote Mode]

From what I know, characters that are not registered will not cause problems in reporting.

According to Cort, an RPG character in a core game does nothing to the other Core characters. Core characters in an RPG game changes them to RPG characters. So you just have to make sure that the scenario selected is Core and you'll be fine.

Are you sure about that? That is very different from how it used to be. Did they actually announce this change somewhere or just expect people to intuit it?

That's an urban myth I can't seem to squash. Having an RPG character in a Core session just means the character doesn't get credit, it does nothing to the status of the other Core characters.

The major culprit there is GM's accidently report the RPG version of the scenario instead of the Core version. They generally notice and edit the session to switch it back, but the damage has been done. Then we have to go in and manually revert them.
