That's a bummer about the gold. I guess I have to track everyone down and axe them 100gp or so. Has anyone else complained about that discrepency for tier 1-2 in Assault on the Kingdom of the Impossible?
I haven't seen that issue raised yet. How large a discrepancy is it? If it's 100gp, I say live and learn. It's not going to break anyone's PC to have an extra 100gp, even if that makes getting masterwork armor or a weapon that much easier to get. In the big scheme of things, 100gp is chump change. So I wouldn't track people down and take away something they've already gotten. That might turn them off to PFS and that's not something we want to do, now is it? ;-)
I double-check all math in a spreadsheet before it goes to publication. Can you confirm the amounts they received each time for me? If there's a typo somewhere, I need to correct it ASAP.

I also had a gm credit problem w/ assault on the kingdom impossible Sunday. One of the players wouldn't play because she had run in it before. I told her she could make a new character, but she was affraid it was breaking society rules so she GM'd instead. Is it O.K. to play in the same scenario w/ different characters if you just fight and don't use insider knowledge? How about for a GM, can I play with a character in a scenario I have run in the past presuming the character is different than the one I gave credit too when I ran it?

You do not get credit for playing a scenario a second time or after you have run it, even if you use a new character. In other words, each player can receive credit for each scenario only once. In your situation, it would have been appropriate for her to play one of the pregenerated characters in order to ensure there were enough players at the table, though her GMing is also a solution.
No. You can only get credit once.
If I played the scenario as a player, then run it as a GM, do I get full credit for player and then add the GM credit, or just the player credit?

No scenario can ever give you credit more than once. If you play the scenario first, you get credit as a player. If you GM it without playing it, you get credit as a GM. If you have never received credit for a scenario you ran in season 0 and you run it again in season 1, you get credit as a GM.

Is this still the case under the latest set of rules? I thought you could get credit once as a player and once as a GM. Seems as though we ought to give incentive to people to GM a scenario at least once.
Ok.. here ya go.. here is how it is currently.
If you got credit for playing a scenario you can then GM the same scenario and get credit for a different character of a different faction once. You do not get GM credit again if you run it again, you can only get GM credit once ever.
If you get GM credit for scenario before playing it, you can never play that scenario and get player credit unless it falls into the replay rules, in which case you need to replay it with a different character of a different faction then the one that got the GM credit. Replay rules should rarely if ever happen.
So the best way to get the most for your buck is to first Play the Scenario then GM it.
