Lost Certifications

[Erosthenes]

I went to an amazingly fun convention last weekend in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Green Country Comics and Gaming, run by a delightful chap, Nathan Lindy VL out of Stillwater, Oklahoma.

I had a blast, played many sessions late into the night, and went home tired, but satisfied. Then I discovered I left my notebook with all my characters behind! HORRORS!!! Now, in my case somebody found it and turned it in (THANK YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE!) It should be returned within this week, so no harm no foul.

My question is this - what would have happened if I could not retreive the records of my characters dering-do? Would I be out of luck and starting over? Is there a mechanism I am unaware of to assist?

Color me, Curious in Oklahoma

You'd have to go to your "My Pathfinder Society" section of the website, and click on sessions. Then start finding the GMs you've played with and asking them to get you replacement chronicles. You might miss some chronicles due to people not reporting everything, but you'd get the majority back. Very annoying, but a fixable occurrence.

[Erosthenes]

Thanks Alex! I had thought about that. Most of my certs are local so not a major problem. I was curious if I had missed anything - thanks for your quick response!

Worst case scenario, if the events are reported correctly you can ask your local VO to re-issue the missing Chronicles.

To clarify, VC only. We lowly Venture-Lieutenants don't have the permissions to see other players' overall sessions list.

Well, if you showed your sessions to a VL, he could then re-issue them, but as Jeff said we can't look them up ourselves.

Most of my chronicle sheets are virtual (from pbp) but I scan in my physical ones and save them digitally, might be worth doing. It's much easier to print them out again rather than trying to get new copies.

I am from Tulsa and am new to tabletop RPGs , I wanted to know if anyone had a pathfinder game I could join?

Hey, Hyken, we're always happy to see new players.

You should check out the Grand Lodge section of the Pathfinder Society boards and start a new thread there, or check with your local VC/VL. There's a list of us on the Regional Coordinators page.

Rob Duncan is the Venture-Captain for Tulsa, I'll bring this post to his attention.

Erosthenes,

Sorry for the delay in reply! We're going to start scanning all of the chronicle sheets moving forward to avoid those sorts of issues -- generally, if somebody loses a chronicle sheet and it's been reported, Nathan can reissue one with the information found in the session sheets (since he reports them at the cons) or I can look it up by your player ID and reissue one for you.

We have a pretty small (but dedicated and wonderful!) GM cadre that is happy to help.

I'm very glad that GCCG was a positive experience for you and that you're continuing to play. Nathan is an incredible guy and a fantastic asset to the Pathfinder community (even stepping in to manage GCCG when I had pneumonia), so I hope you'll plan on attending more of his monthly events at Stillwater.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

Hyken,

As Jon said, we always love seeing new faces around the table. I've sent you a PM about some Tulsa games and will look forward to helping you get some characters rolled up. Since we don't have as big of a player base as other cities, you may also want to think about hitting up Jacob Savage on the Online Pathfinder Society Collective/Roll20 for some online gaming between physical sessions. Glad to have you aboard!
