That actually answers a few questions.

So the system does allow me to record the session I ran with out the number/s after the -. I guess all the players has to do is get the GM to acknowledge/initial/sign/date the changes that the player makes like assigning a chronicle sheet etc etc/

@Matt Lewis
I was unsure as this confused me,
"At any time, he can apply the Chronicle sheet to a 1st-level Pathfinder Society character, but if that character gains XP from another Chronicle sheet, he can no longer earn additional rewards for that character for playing the other Phantom Phenomena quests. "

So if a level 1 PFS character who completes one quest first can not apply a second one. So I was unsure so the exact example I wish clarification for follows

My example.
John a player completes mists from Silverhex and applies to his an unplayed mint PFS character. He then goes on and completes the Phantom Phenom quest arc and applies it to his mint PFS character that he applied Silverhex Chronicle to. This means he applies the relevant rewards from the two chronicle sheets to his character and he no longer can receive and more rewards from Silverhex even if he does not play another PFS scenario.

Cheers guys.

That helps. I was toying around with the rules to allow other traits/options for characters as most of my group has been out of the game for 2+ years like me. The either standard or core gives great flexibility.

Hi all.
I will be running the PFS the quests in Ustalav for my group and gaming club. I noticed that such events need to be registered as either or both RPG or PFC. I will be offering them the next month or so as Core games. Can someone please explain what I need to do.

Hi all.

In the next two weeks I will be starting the Carrion Crown campaign for a group of players. I intend on using the core PFS rules for my players by allowing them pregen or core characters. This allows me to get back into GMing and into Pathfinder as the 2 or so year break I have had has seen an explosion of options.

I would like to keep this thread open as questions come up I would like to ask in relation to it. I am using the option where the characters will be playing the entire AP but not following the PFS rules (XP system used and essentially PFS core rules where applicable).

1. When a player successfully completes the PFS sanction segment of the AP, will they get the credit as a core character or a non core character? I am unclear as the pdf as if he completes as a pregenerated player.

2. As a GM, if I do not have a current PC to apply at the chronicle reward sheet do I still have to nominate a character? Can it be core or non core?

I got you and thanks. I got to reading stuff this night and I see I need 30 tables - I am one short currently.
I did run another 3 tables as they were listed events under my coordination but I never entered. They are still listed under my account, fingers crossed that they are still acceptable. If not I will get there soon enough as I start up running games again.
I can not wait!

I am also naughty as I have three old old events listed but results not registered.

Thanks for the welcome and advice sanwah68. Great to hear from you again. I noticed a problem with the points around 3 years ago but never followed up LOL. I get 0 points or 1 points for some tables all up I have run 29 tables. In the next post I will try and share what is in my society page for others to see. Should I post here about errors or in customer service?

Hi all.

After a fair amount of time absent from the game, I am planning on returning and running society events in my local city. There is a bit to catch up on as it has been 2.5 years since I have been face to face.

That said, I am going through the new materials and new products. I also noticed that the GM rewards have changed. I am wondering about the ranking? I believe I should be a 2 star GM with my record and some of my tables are worth 1 points and others 2 and not sure why the difference. How do I get my ranking check?

Also, any advice/guidance on where to start? Links to tools/forums/pages/aids etc etc? Looking for tricks of the trade to make things easy. My return date to GMing to the gaming group is late Jan/early Feb 2016.

Thank you in advance.

Check 1 2 1 2.

I missed Al's notes but I concluded the this PFS scenario last night 10-12 hours of play. Great scenario.

Myus.com only is good if you are buying other stuff from the us on a regular basis. Shipping to a us address is alot cheaper :)

Hi there.
This order contains a few incentive comics and I am wondering if packing precautions can be taken to ensure no damage in transist please.

Hi guys.
Order is pending in my account. Just letting you know took receipt yesterday.

To give you indication of speed. I had 37.1 pounds of stuff sent from myus.com Friday midday American Eastern time. The online tracking tells me that it is onboard courier and to be delivered today.

That is fast. I love DHL. The delivery to my area is perfect.

I go standard shipping steve. All prices quoted above are with that.

On a good day my parcels arrive just after two weeks sent. Usually 3 weeks.

Serious it takes 5-6 days, including weekends for items from myus.com to arrive to me.

In honesty, I purchase items and 'save' until I have a number of parcels. Most stuff we buy for home we get online so sharing such details from my purchase would not be of use. I get golf clubs, cloths and etc. I can comment that it is cost effective for me. As is having Paizo ship light packages directly to me with the generous -$10 off shipping.

Myus.com for the same package shipped to regional QLD via my myus.com service is:
http://www.myus.com/en/international-shipping-rates/?weight=7.3&pkgs=1& amp;dv=15&mbr=MyUs_PremiumUser&to=AU

Essentially 62.09 while paizo 52.35 but that is up to a week verses 3 weeks.

They have a calculator over a myus.com Vic.

I think my estimates might have been off slightly to which I am happy to recant. My experience as been to combine packages through myus is cheaper.

I'd never heard of myus.com, thanks. That might be useful to people worried about price. Any experience with having subscriptions sent via them? Are you saying its quicker than having things sent to you direct?

Much quicker Steve. You pay paizo to send your subscription to a US address. They send it via DHL or Fedex. Thing to add is that there is a sign up fee.

Now for small packages (1-3 pounds not worth it). 4+ you start to save money particularly if you have multiple packages and stuff from other stores.

For those folks worried about money but not time, you SHOULD preorder from the book depository. Further to note, check the cost at both the US store and the UK store. I have found a bulk of the stuff is cheaper preordered from the UK store.

I did the maths and changed my subscriptions, cutting back mot of them. I am happy to share my thoughts as I am a collector and have a fair bit of stuff from Paizo.

Buying a case of pathfinder minis and having it shipped here is still cheaper than buying from cheap online retailers in Australia even with the 70-120USD cost for post.

I keep my AP subscription to get the flat 15% discount and add bits and pieces that I want. The value of subscribing and getting pdfs are not worth it anymore. I have stopped buying the campaign and companion books and use pdf on a tablet. The comics are cheap and light to send. I am waiting to see how it comes packed from paizo to see if I will continue.

Things like gamemastery cards and map subscriptions are not worth it for me as I do not need the pdfs as I am not virtually driven for that. Preordering the maps and cards from book depository sees me receiving the item at my door for less than $10 an item!!! Trade off is I have to preorder and wait as I can not get it straight away.

I pick up the occassion PDF at 15% off but I tend to wait until Paizo has sales where my advantage discount stacks. That is the most cost effective way.

If I want hardcover books I preorder from book depository and purchase the PDF for the 9.99-15% which comes out cheaper that the amazon option and I get pdf. Only downside is the wait for hardcover.

The other upside is that book depository offer 5 or 10% discounts from time to time, more so before amazon bought them. Great for picking up older stuff I missed and makes preorders even cheaper!

Postage is high at Paizo. It is cheaper to have items sent from paizo to myus.com address and sent to me. The high cost and the use of USPS is disappointing. It takes weeks to get to me. Myus.com has a similar price postage and it arrives within a week and is sent via DHL or Fedex. My preference is DHL to my suburb as it arrives in perfect condition.

I appreciate the service from Paizo which is A++. But there are cheaper options for postage out there and the volume Paizo moves would be high as you look at the market share in the US alone.

That said, I understand that Paizo does not have to look at the shipping as the dominance in market share and product range grows. Folks are buying the stuff no matter the cost.

This forum appears okay but some of my older posts do not have it.

Check here!

Yeah it had... but now it is bad... weird.

Hi there... I dont think I missed a thread and here seems a better place than feedback forum...

Aren't one star GMs supposed to have it show up next to name on the forums?

Hi Daniel.

I am a most of the time GM and sometime (rarely) player. I am up on Rocky and hope someday to get back down to Brissie for a game or two.

I would support my FLGS but if I did I would not be able to get everything I want because of the ultr high prices over here in Australia. Also lucky we have such a high tax free allowance for goods that can be shipped in to Australia.

Paizo has to support their packaging department but Paizo does have high shipping costs, even when they add shipping incentives, Paizo does have high shipping costs on large orders. It works out cheaper, for the most part, to purchase a US postal address and have my items shipped there. Then from there have them shipped via DHL or FedEx to my door.

Awesome write up. I have not had anything to do with the Paizo crew of Brisbane since the first PaizoConOz. Looking forward to getting back there someday.

I have played at many, many tables with Stephen as the GM and had SUPER fun. I did not realise that you stepped down Stephen. I hope to get to Melbourne to play PFS. Best chance for me to play as my wife has family down there!

Al... Rich and the crew. one of my first play groups I played with outside of my home town. I have played games that Al and crew have run and it is awesome fun. Pommy accent with voices and effects for game. ROCKED. :)

I have been meaning to say Al. Your avatar so looks like you on real life.

This is why I feel comfortable expressing myself here.

I had a look and found the button with the order that reprocesses payment.

BAZINGA!

I am looking forward to the comic/minis.

Yeap... funds are back on card.

HI Cosmo.

It all looks good from the order perspective. I paid extra funds onto the card and the reversal should kick through. Can you try payment again?

I also specifically asked not to have my order processed before it was finalised.

My card has been charged this has been confirmed by my bank.

I appreciate your assistance but there are other issues such as Paizo saying it has declined my card.

The charges and my order do not much.

Only fix is a reversal from Paizo ad fixing order....

According to my credit card's bank customer service, you have charged me for my outstanding order but there is no record in my orders!!!

It is of a large some and has tapped my card. This is a problem for me and a major inconvience!

Hi Cosmo.

Something went wrong with my order!

Hi again,

Just a quick question. A few delux comic subscribers said they were able to preorder the gen con cover with their subscriptions. I am just wondering if this is possible for me?

Actually, I would like to reduce my pathfinder battles subscriptions from 2 to 1 lots. I believe I am entitled to the two rune giants as I have vouchures from the previous preorder?

There is just too many things on offer out there at the moment and I can not afford everything.

Hi Cos

Updated the address. Is Order #2171365 now correct?

Andrew

Thanks for explanation Cos.

I responded via email.

Cool Cosmo.
The item numbers are correct! Only issue I have is that the items are not split up to ship according to my needs. Please check my email!

PS. Love the Fez!

I had this and started my own thread to get resolved.

Major error! Please hold shipping until this is sorted.

It seems I have been charged for 3 pathfinder battle subscriptions!

I have sent a detailed email from primary email address.

I look forward to response.

Andrew

Hey Bill. I hope the show at GenCon went well.

I am seeing weird things... Pictures on links that don't match the product or pics not of products.

I completed. Look forward to data.

Does running a PFS module such as The Godsmouth Heresey rate as running only one scenario towards a GMs star rating.

Thanks for the update and I appreciate the time and effort that went into this.
I had hoped that wizards bonded item would be in guide. I feel this is a major mechanical area that needs to be addressed.
Can we expect 4.1.1 soon or and updated FAQ?

I agree... Appears to be no rules other than Joshua Frost ruling.

Goodness I suck at forum links!

@Thursty
I am going to start a PFS campaign with a few people next week. I am starting this module in a month's time and this will be fantastic!

There are no faction missions. The chronicle sheet and PFS rules are found in the PFS addition resources section on the Paizo website.

This is a great thread. I encourage the OP to keep updating.

Thanks mate.

I am trying. I hope to be able to sit at your table again one day.

Good rolling my friend.
