Adventure Paths And You

[ProximaC]

So! My home group just started running through Reign of Winter a few weeks ago (very exciting, we're almost through book 1), and I just recently realized that you don't have to play it with your PFS character in order to claim credit. I do, however, have a few questions about that process.

1) My GM doesn't actually play PFS at all. Would she have to sign up for a PFS number in order to report the scenario, or would I be able to report the scenario to save her the trouble?

2) I'm actually the only person in my home group who plays PFS. Would I still be able to claim credit for completing the module, or does everyone playing have to claim the chronicle in order for that to be kosher?

The GM needs to sign the chronicles, but to make it easy for her, you could:

- Create the event
- Print the chronicles (not too far ahead of time; they contain spoilers)
- Get a sheet of 10 pregenerated PFS numbers and give one of them to her
- Report the session

I don't believe it has to be everyone, but if you have the pregenerated numbers already, you could hand them out to the other players.

Make them aware that if they ever do play PFS, they could use the first chronicle to start at 2nd level instead of 1st.

Ooh I did not know about this rule.
This is cool as half of my Jade regent players are pfs players.

So I can create the event and report the session even if I'm not the GM? That ought to work. Since I'm applying it to a character as though it was GM credit, do I need to assign it to a character when I report it, or can I hold off on that? (I've never done my own reporting before, as you can probably tell)

This seems like a pretty reasonable way to do it. I'll make sure everyone has what they need. Thanks for the guidance!

Yes, you can report an event even though you are not the GM. Essentially, you would be considered the Event Coordinator. The chronicle should be applied to a character when you report the session. Hope you enjoy Reign of Winter.

And this means I can apply this credit to an already existing 1st level character?
