GM Credit Conversion (SFS to PF2S)

[KapaaIan]

Has there been any thought of allowing GMs to cross pollinate their chronicle sheets? As an example, when I play, I like to play fantasy. But I'm generally being an SFS gm. I'd imagine I'm not the only one in a situation like this, so how about allowing GMs to apply a generic chronicle across games? GM a tier 1-2 SFS game, get a chronicle you can use for XP and gold in PFS to play. Or vice versa.

Anything to inspire more GMs? :-)

I am a big fan of generic chronicles in some areas, but I am not sure if this might not have unintended effects. It would certainly be neat for organizers, but I fear that there are downsides you are missing.

One potential downfall is that it is IMO quite healthy for GMs to see the player side of the system they are running. Without regular input from both sides of the screen, it can be easy to lose perspective.

I can fully agree with this statement. However I still see the potential merit of a cross-system chronicle. Perhaps something akin to the SFS Alien Archive? One where it requires X games as a GM in one system, to gain Y benefit in the other system. As well as T games as a player in one system, to gain V benefit in the other system.

Now, I know that would be pretty complex, and probably end up being two chronicle sheets minimum. (One for the Gm/Player of Pathfinder for benefits in Starfinder. One for the GM/Player in Starfinder for benefits in Pathfinder... I might even argue a third/fourth relating to the adventure card game if we REALLY want to get cross-platform compatible here.)

So... run an AP in Campaign Mode with the SFS rules then award the CR to a PFS (either 1e or 2e) character? just a crazy idea...
