Greetings Organized Play!
With yesterday evenings release users should now see Replay points available for use in Organized Play. On a personal note, thank you for your patience everyone. I've written up a small explanation of the new features:
Where to see your replay points:
GM/Event Coordinator Tab of the Organized Play page, they should manifest after clicking "Refresh Points".
"You have X Replays":
You should now see the addition of Starfinder, Pathfinder 1E, and Pathfinder 2E replay points available on your Pathfinder Society GM/Event Coordinator tab. Please note that replay point types don't display unless you've earned at least one replay point of that type.
Updated Reporting:
Org Play games for PFS1E/Core, PFS2E, and SFS should now come in 3 reportable conditions, One-Time Playthrough, Replayable, or Consumes Replay. ACG scenario reporting doesn't use replays.
One-Time Playthrough:
This scenario grants credit to the players first character to complete it. No special text displays when this type of scenario is being reported.
Replayable:
This scenario grants credit for each characters first playthrough. When selecting sessions of this scenario types the UI will display "This scenario is replayable and will grant credit each time it is reported to a new character."
Consumes Replays:
A player receives credit on the first character they play through this scenario. Additional characters can earn credit playing through this scenario by consuming 1 available replay point.
When reporting scenarios of this type a checkbox to consume replays should be available in the reporting UI, only check the box if the player is using a replay point.
The same character can never receive credit for the same scenario twice. When selecting sessions of this scenario types the UI will display "Players replaying this scenario may consume a replay point to gain credit on each character's first playthrough."
A reported consumes-replay scenario should grant credit, however it will deny credit and quote the player has already received credit for the scenario under the following conditions:
The character has already played through the scenario before.
The player is out of replay points and cannot consume one to receive credit, in which case it should reference the original playthrough.
Granted Replay Points:
Yesterday we granted replay points to Organized Play users. Users with reported sessions for any Org Play type (PFS1E, SFS, PFS2E) should automatically receive 2 replay points for that respective Organized Play type. In addition to this, users should have received an additional 2 replay points per 50 reported player seats for each Org Play type. In addition to this future newly registered PFS ID's should come preloaded with 2 replays of all Org Play types.
Purchasing additional replay points with Achievement Points:
I believe Alex should be making replay points available for purchase in the near future through the use of achievement points. At that time you'll need to select a character in order to purchase replay points, but they can be used by any character. This was a limitation of how boons currently require an associated character in the code, and we plan to, when time permits, implement character neutral boons which Replay Points will fall under.
GM / Reporter Specific Notes:
All "Consumes Replay" scenario seats default to not consume a replay and must be checked to use one. There currently isn't a safeguard against reporting a replay point to be consumed on a players first playthrough of a consumes-replay scenario. If this happens you can delete a misreported seat and save and the system will properly refund the player back the Replay Point that was consumed for them to use when actually needed.
