Player Folio Question for GM's

Silver Crusade 4/5

So.. I just read the rules about the Player Folios being part of the Free Re-Roll Program. (Thank you Master Brock BTW) I do have a good question: It says in the rules that you need the physical copy, but what about those who have the PDF and chose instead to print them out to save just a little bit of money? Are they out even though they supported Paizo? Or can we GM's use our own GM discretion about it?

Don't mega flame me but I have both and physical and the PDF thanks to my subscription. And I was planning on transitioning my new characters to a printed version of Paizo Player Folio PDF. So are they not allowed even though I support the society and Paizo as a whole?

You have to have the physical object with you. If it is still in its shrink wrap or contains another character, it should still work. Use the PDF's and bring the folio.

We do the same with shirts. I give shirt rerolls to anyone with their own shirt, regardless of how they are wearing it or even simply displaying it on the table in its little triangle packaging.

I agree with Will. If you have one character in the folio and all the others on printout versions, then it should still count as long as you've got the folio with you - regardless of which character you're actually playing at the time.

Note that some GMs stick to a stricter set of rules regarding the T-shirts, and may choose to interpret the rule to be that it has to be a folio for the character you're playing.

I'm not saying it's going to happen, but don't be terribly surprised if it does.

*EDIT: "Note" instead of "Not"

Yup, just like some may say you have to be wearing the shirt to get the reroll.

This one is pretty clear - you must have a physical original copy (not PDF copy) of the Folio with you.

I agree with Jonathan though that you may get the occasional GM that says "not only does it have to be original but your character has to be on it." Considering the original can be used as a folder though, I think you're okay.

Personally, I believe the intention is that you only get the re-roll for the character written into the folio itself, as the text in the guide says you cannot get more than one reroll per scenario, even if you are wearing a shirt and using a folio.

However, you can reasonably use the folio as a folder or even as a handy reference guide for conditions and the like.

So, I think it should be fine to have the physical copy of the Folder, and PDF copies of the Character sheets for your actual PC.

It looks like unless Mike or Mark want to give an official answer on this, that the answer is going to be 'expect table variation' on this issue, just like the t-shirts.

This. As long as it is on the table, you are good to go.

Hurray for no table variation--Mike continues to rock. He's like a machine making all these clarifications while also preparing to give us an awesome time at Gencon. You can break the curse Mike!

What curse is that, Mark?

Defense Against the Dark Arts PFS Coordinator.

Season 0--Nic Logue
Season 1--Josh Frost
Season 2--Hyrum Savage
Season 3--Mike Brock

If Mike lasts to Season 4, he breaks the curse!

Ah, I hadn't realized that we were quite that hard on our GM's... (actually, I thought Josh had been in charge for longer, and Hyrum for less time...)

This campaign must be more pathological than I thought!

When will we see Mike writing his own PFS scenarios? :)

That is an excellent question...All the other have at least one.

Mike?

Josh was definitely longer than a year and Hyrum (and Nic) were shorter, but Mike is still going to be the longest pretty soon!

Mike Brock got hired into the position after Gen Con. Mark Moreland was coordinating this last year.

Yeah, Mark had two hats for several months there.
