Admin question...

[Megan Robertson]

I have just finished running an online game - we have run according to PFS rules regarding character generation, players & characters registered with the Society here, etc.

Now I want to complete the after-game administration.

I see how the system works, and was intending to use the end-date of our play as the session date. Obviously participant & GM data will be entered as usual.

As for the certification, I want to e-mail the players with their documentation. Is there a version of the certificate that's ameniable to being completed electronically? (Due to a stroke I no longer hand-write so printing them out, scribbling on them and scanning them isn't feasible.) I can firkle PDFs readily, but was wondering if there's a Word or form-fillable PDF already available.

What should I use for the GM signature? I was thinking of putting my e-mail address - which anyone with a query would be able to use if they needed to check anything. Would that be acceptable?

There isn't a readily editable version, but I like the idea of using your email address. It's actually better than a signature in some cases, because at least it's going to be universally readable :) and since you'll include your PFS number anyway I don't see an issue.

When I ran a PFS game on the forums, I pasted the chronicle page into Paint and filled it out that way, using my username as a signature.

A bit crude, but it worked.

Having a form fillable PDF would be so easy and convenient. It would also easily done. Would love to see that.

I like the email address idea. I don't think anyone would have an issue with what you are doing.

Calix's suggestion of putting the chronicle sheet into Paint sounds like a reasonable work-around.

I'd say using your email as the signature is a good idea.

There are no form-fillable Chronicles, as creating those would not work with the security settings we use on our PDFs. The best solution is to sign, date, and initial the wealth and PA boxes but leave the rest blank and scan that single page. Then you can use a photo editing program like paint or gimp to add in the necessary text in the other areas, which will be different for each player.
