Pathfinder Chronicles Certificates


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


Taking an idea from the RPGA I've decided to give my players certificates. Whether they are for completing some special event within the Pathfinder Chronicles storyline, or finding a unique item. Some certificates grant special benefits, while others are just for flavor. Here is an example of the first one I've done.

Please let me know what you think, as well if anyone can improve upon this concept please do. Oh and Paizo, let me know if I am breaking any legal aspects, as I will immediatly correct them.

Of course feel free to use this idea in your game. I mean come on not like I could copywrite it.

Hrm, great idea! I've been looking at doing binders for my players. That way they can easily keep track of the items (using card sleeves and those nifty gamemastery item cards) I give them in said binder. Something like this is another thing they could add to the binder. Then, if they leave Sandpoint, and come back they can remind ME (because I'll have slept between those too games and therefore most likely forget).

I've done the same with magic items. I copy the image out of the PDF and print it on the front of a large recipe card, then paste additional info on the back.

The "event" cards are also a nice touch!


Thanks. I just hope, as i have yet to test it, when this is printed it comes out at a nice size lol. Something tells me it wont be the size of a baseball card. Might have to do some more editing.


Now these certificates are not designed to take away from Paizo's GameMastery Item Cards, which we use. These certificates for the more UNIQUE aspects found in the game.

I personally cannot wait till the Rise of the Runelords deck comes out.


Way to go, looks great.

Keep us updated please ;D

I love the idea and being the lazy (and busy) person I am - I was wondering if you would share more of them as you design them?

I have also just put togehter plastic baseball card sleeves for the players with item cards in them. Each of them has their own sleeve and we will add or subtract as appropriate. I think it is a great idea. I saw they had these set up for the Paizo Delve as I watched a couple people play at Gencon.


Yes Paizo's item cards are great and I highly recommend their use. As I create my "certificates" I'll probably post more. With Paizo's permission.

I look forward to seeing more of your certificates.

I think this looks great! If I ever get around to running RotRL (I am in the middle of Shackled City right now), I may very well steal this. :)

As for the legalities, there are no problems as long as you don't sell them. :)

I love seeing what other DMs come up with for our APs. Great stuff!

Let me add my praise, too. I like the idea. :)

Any particular reason for the PNG format, though?
