1/5

So my friends have essentially elected me to run our first module for PFS and after a bit of searching I've selected crypt of the everflame. I've personally run a few modules and am searching for a bit of clarity with what happens after they finish.

1) According to the chronicle sheet it seems they get a very, very large amount of gold, (over 1k) Is this correct for the module?

2) How much experience and PP do they receive? It appears they gain 1XP and 2PP for completing the module.

3)

Spoiler:
When they find the supply room am I allowed to mix/match the selections to give some classes possibly an additional potion of cure light wounds in place of the second smaller item received.

4) Do I as a GM gain a sheet? If so, what if they failed? My reading of the campaign document I'm inclined to say yes to both but haven't done this before.

5/5

This piece of information, and many others like it, are available in the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play: http://paizo.com/products/btpy84k4

Because I am feeling generous:

1. Yes.
2. See page 30, "Applying Credit," paragraph 3.
3. See page 35, paragraphs 1 & 2; refer to page 29 if the scenario/module dichotomy is confusing.
4. See page 39, "Game Master Rewards."

3 XP, 4 PP, BTW, for modules. 1 XP and 1-2 PP for regular scenarios.

First of all, thanks for stepping up and volunteering to GM Pathfinder Society games!

The Pathfinder Society Scenarios (4-5 hour adventures) award 1 XP and (at low level) approx. 400-500 gp.

Crypt of the Everflame is a Pathfinder Module. The 32-page modules are generally expected to take around three times as long as a scenario, therefore Crypt of the Everflame awards 3 XP and 1398 gp.

PFS Scenarios award 1 XP and 0-2 XP (depending on the PCs' success at the main mission and faction mission(s)).

32-page PF Modules award 3 XP and 4 PP (assuming the player attends every session).

16-page PF Modules (the Free RPG Day ones) award 1 XP and 1 PP.

Don't alter the adventures in PFS play.

As a GM you can take a chronicle sheet; it's not dependent on the success of the party.

As stated above, it's worth giving the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play a thorough read, in particular chapters 1, 5, 6, and 7 if you're planning to GM Pathfinder Modules.
