Could you point these out to me, please?

Thanks!

Is there a GM discussion thread for Silverhex? I can't find any.
Doesn't really look like there is one yet. Feel free to start one with questions down here

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Silver Hex arguments amongst party members, gm's, even my VC--- ALL having differing versions of 'what's legit' on this.....
Can I PLEASE get an official reply from Mike Brock or equivalent:
Is the chronicle sheet for this adventure 'cumulative', or is it a flat 1 XP and 2 Prestige Points for the entire thing?
My question is thus: It does NOT make sense for 6 hours of play to 'only' get a TOTAL of 1 XP, 2 Prestige. I know these are 'short' vignettes, so to speak- but still. No one is going to want to play an adventure where if you complete one quest-- 1 hour of play- you get 1 XP and 1 Prestige-- Yet if you sit for 6 hours and play, you (still) only get "1 XP", and now 2 Prestige, only.
I was told initially that it is CUMULATIVE. That EACH LINE is what you get for 'that quest'. If you completed all 6, then, you'd have the TOTAL of all the lines of that chronicle sheet:
Quests Gold Pieces XP Prestige Points Other
1 100 gp 1 1
2 250 gp 1 1
3 250 gp 1 1 Impressive Find boon
4 350 gp 1 2
5 500 gp 1 2
6 500 gp 1 2 Treasure Seeking boon
As you can see, all 6 completed would be 6 XP, and 9 Prestige. With 1950 g.p. total. Each line/each quest, totaled up, then, as it/they were completed.
It does not make sense for someone to complete one quest and get 100 g.p. and 1 XP and 1 Prestige, while the person completing all 6 only gets 500 g.p. and (still) 1 XP and now only 2 Prestige.
I can't think of ANY adventure where you only get 1 or 2 Prestige; and none where I could play for 1 hour, twice or multiple times or so- using the recurring play rules- and rack up the XP/Prestige [i.e. play it just one quest at a time for 6 times, and viola- you have 6 XP now... right?], versus the guy who sat thru the whole thing one night and got so little..... Can I PLEASE have a breakdown of how this chronicle sheet is supposed to be awarded: I have 10 players now screaming for justice!!!!! Thanks!

You only take the rewards from the line that matches the number of quests you complete. You do not add any lines together.
The rewards are meant to encourage you to return and play the remaining quests whenever you have time. Whether you play them all in one sitting or one hour at a time, you still only earn the 1 XP, 2 PP, and 500GP.
Before beginning a different adventure, calculate your rewards for this Chronicle sheet based on the following table.
Edit:
It does NOT make sense for 6 hours of play to 'only' get a TOTAL of 1 XP, 2 Prestige.
There are standard scenarios that can take 6 hours to finish depending on individual party makeup. They still only receive 1 XP and 2 Prestige max regardless of how long it takes.

TriOmegaZero and Rerednaw have the right of it. The rewards for The Silverhex Chronicles intentionally provides "front-loaded" rewards that allow someone who can only play once to walk away with a substantive benefit while also allowing someone who wants to play through more material to get a fail and complete reward equivalent to playing through a somewhat long Pathfinder Society scenario.
In short, the rewards listed on the Chronicle sheet are not cumulative; calculate the rewards by using only the line corresponding to the number of Quests played.

So everyone is on the same playing field. This is meant to be a beginner-friendly scenario, and what we don't want is experienced players showing up with characters that use a lot of non-core options and techniques to trivialize the experience for those new players.
Silverhex was made prior to CORE Campaign, I ran part of it prior to when CORE Campaign existed, meaning it would have been ran standard campaign.
Question: I'm planning on running a quest soon, at a game store for new players. The new players will work best under CORE campaign, at least 3 of them are brand new to role play. I've got another player who started while it was only offered standard campaign, before CORE existed, who has 1 or 2 quests left to complete, wants to complete them, and may or may not show up for the public event. Normally, I would run something either CORE or standard campaign, does it matter with Silverhex Chronicles, since it's the first chronicle sheet applied to a character? I only offer core pregen characters anymore as an organizer, to keep things simple for new players.
If I can't do this, what would y'all recommend in this situation?

If you'll only offer core pregens and everyone must play a pregen, I don't see the point in complicating reporting or anything else by restricting it to a CORE game. I'd just leave it be.
In my experience, CORE is hard mode for vets, not easy mode for beginners.

My 10 year old is going to start running these small quests in the hour before our regular 6-10 game night. He will be doing 1 quest at a time. Do you have any suggestions for him? He has already taken the GM101 and GMed one of the phantom phenomena quests, so this is to give him a bit of practice before he attempts a full scenario.

The PF Prep bits are definitely worth it to give you all the stat blocks (juggling tons of books is tough for running)

And he can take his time with it - the scenarios are all pretty good and as its level 1 characters it won't be a big risk of the game and he should be good to get any maps drawn up in advance (i believe all of them are one map per adventure. for C its only really the second one that kicks in)
If he is running it weekly though i would say to advise of playing the assigned character will mean you don't get to keep doing the quests and that you get only for what you have played.
Hope he gets on well!
