Renumbering Season 1 Scenarios

[Cyxodus]

I would like to request that Paizo re-release season 1 modules with a numbering system like season 2 and above (e.g. - #1-29 would be #1-01, #1-30 would be #1-02, etc).

I'm sure it's a question of work/reward for Paizo. Alot of work, and not much reward. They've got to get the reporting system updated, maintain an accessible list of conversions for people using old hard copies, update/correct catalogs, etc.

I understand the reason for asking for this... consistency with numbering.
That is also the same reason it will never happen. If the numbers were changed, would this invalidate the original Chronicle? Or would a player be required to track down a GM to get the most current version? These are the kind of questions that would have be answered... too many to make the numbering change worthwhile. Unfortunate, but true.

I would think that the scenarios for season 1 would have a dual number. #1-01 (#29), #1-02 (#30), etc. A doable compromise.

Except that any change to the scenario numbering would still require a lot of data entry work for very little pay-off. And Michael makes a very good point about chronicles already in use; do we track those down and force the players to update them?

The actual inconvenience is pretty small. Just consider it a little quirk of the PFS.

The way I see it, if Paizo staff are investing 100+ hours into PFS, there are tons of better things they can invest that time in.

It would definitely be nice, but each module has to be renumbered, go back through layout, republished to PDF, the web page has to be updated, etc... All this for old scenarios which sell far less than new ones.

If they are going to that much effort for old modules, I would far rather see they spend the time/ money up-converting Season Zero scenarios to PFRPG. They couldn't get them all, but they could get at least a few of the more popular ones.

[Cyxodus]

Just a thought and would be nice.

[Dennis Baker]

No arguments there :D

I agree it would be nice... just a logistical nightmare. When I save the files on my computer, I add the Season prefix to the title (i.e. PFS 00-05 Mists of Mwangi). Doing something similar might be a good alternative for you as well.

Not only do I add the 0X-XX prefix to all the scenario file names, I also separate the scenarios into different folders corresponding to their Season. It works really well.

I just delete them and DL them again later if I need em :P
