I just finished (tonight, 9-29) running Confirmation with a group at my gaming store. Two of them had PFS numbers, and I've since acquired one.

What now?

Something will go wrong. Ask the question here i'll be here for another hour or so.


Do I have a - after my number? All I have is what 6 digits.

And thanks for your help! I only have mobile, so it too a while to get everything entered.

-1 same as the players if you're new.


When I entered the PFS #s for the two who had them, it filled in the blanks. I'm not sure if our other players will even register for PFS. It was an event to encourage new players, and the idea of registering had little enthusiasm.


Alright, updated with my -1. Thank you again :):)


Where should I look to go from here? Any modules(?) that are good for short 1-2 session runs with new players?

First steps, wounded wisp, Consortium compact.

You guys in public i can throw you on the map if you want.


Yeah, we're at 71 4th St, Troy, NY 12180. Foam Brain Games.


Another question. The thingy I downloaded said a player can only get credit for doing something once, as player and GM.

What of the issue of multiple characters? Is a player who has cumulatively run a significant amount of content effectively unable to participate in PFS progression and events?

The reporting works just fine with two numbers for the players.

If your other players dont want to register because they find it a hassle, you can always register a number for them.


That's the part I dont get. I just get a dummy number?

Can I have a couple dummy numbers on hand for single session players? If a module? Adventure path? Scenario? Takes more than one session, can someone else pop in with the pregen that someone else used?

This is a lot to take in

4/5

No, not dummy numbers. Just hand out the printed number card to each player. If they want to register, that's fine, otherwise just tell them to bring the number each time they play so the game can be properly reported.

Modules and APs can accommodate new players if they take more than a single session. You can't do that with scenarios. A scenario shouldn't take more than one session, but if it does you must continue with the same characters.

And don't worry too much about running out of content, even with multiple characters. With scenarios, modules, quests, and Adventure Paths there are about 300 things to play.


Is reporting only done when a chronicle sheet is completed, or are sessions that partially complete reported for progress?

5/5 5/5 ***

Only when its done.
