Hey all,

I just GMed my very first society game yesterday. Organized play is new to my group of friends, and we were confused on a few issues.

1) Credit rewards: at the end of a the mission the chronicle sheet tells you the maximum credits for the scenario. I understand that receiving the full amount is contingent upon completing all the quests, etc. I originally assumed that full amount went to each player, but a friend of mine thought that the amount (in the commencement it is like 750) was split among the group.

2) chronicle sheet errors: Being new, we have made a few accounting errors over the course of the 3 or 4 scenarios we have ran (for instance, trying to figure out how much credits we receive). I am assuming best practice is for the GM to cross out the mistake and initial the new value. It gets a little messy when a mistake has to be changed across multiple sheets. Does anybody have recommendations for handling this? Is it not such a big deal?

3) GM rewards: just to clarify, the GM receives the same credit reward as the party, and also gains access to items on the chronicle sheet, can make a dayjob check, etc.?

1. Each player gets that amount. Not split.

2. I normally correct errors on the NEXT chronicle. Any changes to gear, money, etc. are done before the game and then list them all along with the explicit reason for the error (“Added 35 credits. Math error in gear bought (see chronicle #5).”) on the chronicle.

3. Yes. Page 15-16 of the SFS Guide.

ah thanks! That is a much better method than crossing out every entry on every chronicle sheet!

But.... my well-crafted argument!

Well that is a little disappointing. I guess I'll think of something else.
