GM rankings

I have ran 4 games in PFS thus far. The first two that I ran listed under the notes section GM +2 (First two levels of Thornkeep). The other two I ran Among the Living and Among the Dead have the notes section blank. Is there a reason why?

It also says I currently have 6 tables of credit, which seems odd. I am assuming that since the last game I ran (Among the Dead) was just two days ago the system has not updated? Do you get two credits of per game ran? So then it is five games ran to get your first star?

Last question, this involves GM prestige. Everyone of those say GM prestige +2, but reading the PFS guide it says GM get 1 prestige. So how many do you do you get?

The +2 is because the levels of Thornkeep are treated as modules, and thus give two tables of credit each.

Welcome - new GMs are always great to have

You get 1 credit or each scenario. You need 10 scenarios for your first star.

Modules are regarded different as a normal module is assumed to take (up to) three slots. For these you get 2 GM credits.

It's not always perfect. We be Goblins counts for 2 credit but you can do it in 4 hours. Thorn keep takes about two slots / 8 hours. Most published modules (32 page modules) rather take three slots.

So the 6 GM credits are correct. 2 for 2 scenarios and 4 for 2 level f Thornkeep.

Modules, including Thornkeep sections, are worth 2 tables of GM credit.

GMing modules, including Thornkeep sections gets you 4 prestiege while judging scenarios such as Among the Dead gets you 2. There's a bug in the system where the online tracking always says 2 for GMs, even for modules. Ignore it.

Okay that makes more sense to me now. What about the GM prestige? 1 for a scenario and 2 for a module?

Rob answered as I wrote that last post. Thanks Rob. Crap that means I messed up my Prestige sheets and have cheated my Character out of at least 5 prestige. Oh well live and learn.

GM Prestige, as far as fame goes is 1 for a Small Module (We Be Goblins, Master of the Fallen Fortress, Dawn of the Scarlet Sun, and I'm Assuming We Be Goblins Too), 2 for a Scenario, and 4 for a Module. GM Prestige (Tables for GM Star) is 1 for Scenarios and 2 for Modules.

Cool thanks for all the info. New to the PFS scene as many of my posts have indicated. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer what must seem like silly questions. Thanks again.

Not silly, no. A bit repetitive, but that isn't your fault. It is simply a bit of lack of clarity, and a problem with language.

GM Credits and PFS:

PFS Scenarios:
The GM earns 1 table credit towards his star rating
2 PP for his PC
1 XP for his PC
The appropriate gold and access for the tier his PC gets the credit for.
Remember taht the GM C has to be no higher than the highest level in the scenario's tier range, and that the GM PC gets credit for the sub-tier most appropriate, with the GM PC earning the lower sub-tier for a PC whose level is in the level between sub-tiers.

Sanctioned Free RPG Day Modules:
The GM earns 2 table credits towards his star rating
2 PP for his PC
1 XP for his PC
And the gp & access given for his PC who must fall within the levels appropriate for the module.

Sanctioned Modules (includes Thornkeep levels and AP segments):
The GM earns 2 table credits towards his star rating
4 PP for his PC
3 XP for his PC
And the gp & access given for his PC who must fall within the levels appropriate for the module.
