Greetings. I am reporting my first sessions as a GM, and have a question -

GM Credit

GMs earn GM credits, Achievement Points, and a Chronicle the first time they GM an adventure. Any subsequent GM sessions earn GM credits and AcP, but no chronicle unless the adventure has the repeatable tag. Chronicles earned by GMing must be assigned to characters when received, but do not need to be applied until later. See Applying Chronicles for more details. GMs have a few special rules for assigning and applying chronicles:

Chronicles earned from GMing provide full rewards. That includes all Treasure Bundles/Gold, XP, Reputation, Downtime Days, and access to items and boons.
GMs can choose not to receive a Chronicle for any game they run, deferring it to a future run.
GMs can assign Chronicles to characters currently playing another adventure. In this case, apply the Chronicle after the character completes their current adventure.
Chronicles earned by GMing and playing count equally for the one Chronicle per character rule.
When a chronicle is assigned to a character who is below the minimum level of the adventure, treat it as if the GM had played a pregenerated character at the minimum level of the adventure.
The GM can chose any combination of checkboxes / boons / rewards that could have been earned by a player.

Does this mean that my PC can only benefit from the treasure bundles and downtime once for this chronicle? In which case, why even assign it to a PC if I also intend to play the adventure with that PC?

So I'm a PFS newb trying to wade through all the rules related to my Nexus Staff.

My current working hypothesis is as follows:
.

1- I start at level 1 with my Makeshift Nexus Staff (that's pretty much a given, as it says so in the CRB).

2- At 2nd level, I can pay 38.5gp to have a +1 Potency Rune added to my staff (a common, standard availability item which I can pay The Society to affix for me).

3a- At 3rd level, I can craft my Makeshift Staff into a Staff of Air with a DC18 Crafting check and 60gp in materials after purchasing a 3gp formula from The Society (also, a common, standard availability item).
3b- I then pay The Society 3.5gp to transfer the Potency Rune to my Staff of Air.

4- At 4th level, I can pay 71.5gp to have a Striking Rune added to my staff.

5- From this point forward, I can upgrade my Staff of Air, Striking, and Potency Runes to higher level version by paying the difference in cost?

So, I'm trying to gather a group of Society agents in my local region. Obviously, they'll all be starting out at level 1.
Looking over all of the available content for organized play, I'm curious if anyone has compiled lists of related content that could be used to provide cohesive story arcs for players as they level.
By this I mean: the Trouble in Otari adventure from the beginner box, The Road from Otari bounty, and the Abomination Vault AP all cluster around the Otari/Absalom area and can be combined into a cohesive arc. What other content occurs in the same area and could be included?
Meanwhile The Whitefang Wyrm and Quest for the Frozen Flame seem related by geography, but what other content could be bundled with them?
What other content shares story arcs? HELLPPPPPPPPP......

So, I'm a newb. I have to ask - what actual use is Lore in a Pathfinder Society context?
I mean, my character with Expert Survival skill, Experienced Tracker, and Terrain Expertise - what does being Trained in Hunting Lore bring to my character?
Or, my character with Legendary Diplomacy and Master Society - what would having Expert Legal Lore add?

I'm surprised no one has asked this question yet - Are there Iconic character sheet PDFs of other genders? For example, I have a player who wants to play the Iconic Ranger (or Wizard) but doesn't identify as male. Is there an alternate?

I have several questions about Gunslinger feats and multiple attack penalties.

Paired Shot-2A
Your shots hit simultaneously. Make two Strikes, one with each of your two ranged weapons, each using your current multiple attack penalty ... This counts as two attacks when calculating your multiple attack penalty.

This one seems fairly straight-forward: a gunslinger could Paired Shot and then Risky Reload, you would roll two attacks at 0 MAP, and then one at -5.
But then there's this-

Twin Shot Knockdown-2A
Make two Strikes against the same target, one with each of the required weapons.

OK, so no mention of MAP. Are both rolls made at 0 MAP, like Paired Shots? Are both rolls made at 0 MAP because the feat doesn't have the Attack trait? Is each attack made using the normal MAP calculation: 0 for the first, -5 for the second?
Now on to-

Dance of Thunder-3A
Take any of the following actions you choose in any order: Step, Strike against a target within your firearm’s first range increment, and Interact to reload. If you attempted a Strike and it succeeded, you can repeat these three actions again in any order. If you attempted a Strike in the second set and succeeded, you can repeat the actions one last time.

Again, no mention of MAP, and the feat doesn't have the Attack trait. Is each attack roll made at 0 MAP, or at normal 0/-5/-10 MAP?
Finally, there is-

Two-Weapon Fusillade-1A
You attack with both your weapons in a furious barrage. Strike twice, once with each weapon.

Still no mention of MAP and no Attack trait. Does each attack roll get the same MAP(a la Paired Shot), or is one at a -5 MAP due to two Strikes?
