Receiving GM Credit for Non-PFS AP Campaign Mode

[TheSuperDodo]

I'm currently beginning to run the first campaign for me as a GM, Rise of the Runelords. I'm running it for my local group, with which I've played D&D 4e for the last few years, and now I've introduced them to Pathfinder.

From how I know them, they won't want to join the Pathfinder Society (most of them are casual players and aren't likely to invest much time in games outside our home game.)

That being said, my question is: Can I receive GM credit for running the Rise of the Runelords AP in campaign mode, even if my players aren't part of the Pathfinder Society (and thus won't receive Chronicle Sheets or be reported as players)?

I'm guessing the answer is no, but I might as well ask.

Print off 4 new ID#s, and report the game with those.

If your players ever change their minds, even years down the road, you can issue them their Chronicles then (or print/sign them now and just hold onto them).

Would actually be kinda cool if all their numbers were in series. Imagine them retelling the story a year from now of how this GM got them involved in Society.

I guess you're right.

Also, one of them is a close friend of mine so I'll probably manage to drag him to a con to play at some point :P

Thank you!

The first session was a blast; the players really enjoyed the fleshed out, living world of Sandpoint. Now, I have a mechanical question; do I need to report each session, or do I just type in every time there's a session and report the one in which the players receive a Chronicle Sheet?

Thanks in advance, Edo.

You only report it once, after the players would recieve their chronicle sheet.

Rise of the Runelords spoiler:

So for part one, you report after your players finish thistletop.

Thought so. Well, thank you!
