The new addition of Core Mode has just been added to the reporting system. If you find any problems, or have general feedback, please list it in the thread.

Thanks!

That was some really fast turnaround! I was thinking it would at least be Thursday or Friday before it went live.

We intentionally delayed the announcement until it was ready to launch.

scenarios and modules now seem to appear all out of order in the pull down menu?

Is there anything that will appear on the sessions screen to indicate when something is done Core?

So will CORE get a downloadable session sheet? Will prestige be handled differently in CORE? I ask because I have already scheduled a CORE session and didn't see a session sheet or prestige entires on the online entry 'tab'.

No, the current sheet can be used with no problem.

Prestige is handled exactly the same.

Thank you for the clarification.

I plan on having the word "Core Campaign" printed on the Chronicles when I run the Core games. Most likely I will run the sheets through the printer a second time to get it on there.

If it hasn't been proffered yet, Thank you for offering this addition to Organized Play.

Emerald Spire no longer gives the individual levels to report, its just listed as emerald spire now. Was this supposed to be this way?

Show all scenarios button clears all selections (the drop down list is blank).

Liberty's Edge 4/5 *

I can get around it by editing the event to include the scenarios I'm reporting.

So as glitches go, very minor. I'm impressed with the implementation otherwise.

We have the drop down sorting fixed in house, it will go out with our next monthly release.

So is available gear going to be limited to core as well or will the ult. Equipment be available for the core campaign?

CRB + chronicles access for outside stuff

This may be obvious but if I buy a non core item off a chronicle sheet, like a +2 item, can I upgrade it like in normal or am I stuck with it how I bought it?

My three Emerald Spire level credits are all showing in Sessions as the same title. Hope this can be untangled.

Let's take this to one of the other non-reporting issues threads OK?

Liberty's Edge 5/5 5/5 *** Venture-Lieutenant, Indiana—Martinsville

ok... two things.

If I try and get all scenarios to report something I did not have on the docket, it clears the list and I can't choose anything.

Now I have some PFS Numbers that are not clicking (Player may have the wrong number on the ticket or has not set up the character on the web sight up wrong) I can no longer report those non-numbers as I could have before.

I have tried to talk with some players about getting their character registered, but some may have been confused and might have gotten a new number instead of the number they had on the card given to them.

Is the reporting still able to report character numbers that do not have a character assigned to them yet? (That is, the number is registered, but the character is not "Made" into a profile yet)

Where should I direct those that may have gotten a new number instead of the given number to correct this and have the reserved number registered?

Thanks..

Speaking from experience, if a person creates a character as a Normal Mode character (that has not been played) prior to playing it in their first Core Mode game (which will create a reporting issue), it is possible to remove the reporting of that session for them, have them delete the Normal Mode character, create a new Core Mode character and report with the same number. This may be a niche problem/solution, but it does work in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

I'm not understanding the question.

Are you saying that you haven't played the character at all? If not, then I don't believe the character has been assigned core or normal until something has been reported for them.

If you are talking about GM credit on the character, then technically no, you can't remove that credit once its been assigned. I'm not sure how the reporting system works. Whether its hard coded that once any reporting (GM credit or play credit) has been assigned as normal, that core is no longer an option, ever, or if you move those GM credits off the character, that Core then becomes an option.

if moving the GM credits is an option, then you might be able to ask your V-C to do so.

Although, if the character hasn't been played, and you want to move the credit off of the character, it might just be worth it to make a new character exactly the same way (but with Core only options) and play under that new character number.

And then you have a normal character option, that you can rebuild to whatever normal campaign options you want, since you haven't played them yet.

Andrew, there are now three options to adda PC to your list:

Register a New Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Character
Register a New Pathfinder Society Core Roleplaying Character
Register a New Card Game Character

So, I think, that will help clarify, at least a little, what DrParty06 was referencing.

Liberty's Edge 5/5

Ah, you are correct. I did not see that until now. We are all learning as we go it seems.

Kinevon was indeed right with was I was referring to. I played a Core Mode game with a character that I created, but had not played, before the Register a New Pathfinder Society Core Roleplaying Character button became available. Thus, the reporting system thought it was a Normal Mode character, when in fact it wasn't really, it was just registered before Core Mode was a thing to report. I worked it out with the GM to do what I mentioned, and thought it worth sharing since others might have the same issue of people not being careful which button they press despite playing an intended and legal Core Mode character.

I had deleted mine and re-registered her as a Core Character. (Just posted this on the other thread) Yay!!

Interesting issue; I just reported my 2nd table of MotFF (Core), and it's telling me some people can't take it again. MotFF is an evergreen, right? Everyone was level 1, so this should be an easy thing.

Is this a standard problem with the evergreens and reporting, or is this a unique problem to Core?

I haven't run much. This was my 4th time leading a table, so forgive me if this is something everybody already knows. I did try to search the forums a bit.

It does that with We Be Goblins and First Steps also. Sorry, what is MotFF again?

It's not an error that they can't receive credit, it's a notice that they already have.

Think of it as an advisory warning, not an error.

I think if that were true it would be awarding them Prestige Points, and it isn't. I should mention that I had also already GM'ed this mod for Core - I had so much interest that I ran it two nights in a row.

The system also records 2 prestige when you GM on slow track, or GM a module, etc.

The prestige part of the tracking system is well under 100% accurate.

Remember as always your paper records are what counts for your characters. On-oline tracking is just to help Paizo stats and to help recreate your sheets in case they are lost.

:) Perfect. I just wanted to be sure. Thanks!

As Cort said, sorting is fixed in-house. It'll roll out soon.

I'm investigating what happened with Emerald Spire.

We're discussing how we want the Show All Scenarios button to work in the future. It'll hopefully be part of the next release.

"Is the reporting still able to report character numbers that do not have a character assigned to them yet?"
-- This should still work. If it isn't, please provide more information and we'll investigate.

“Where should I direct those that may have gotten a new number instead of the given number to correct this and have the reserved number registered?”
-- Tell them to contact Customer Service. This will require a manual fix and isn't something the player can do on their own.

As soon as you create a character, it is marked as RPG or Core. If you want a RPG character you created (with no credit) to be able to report on Core events, you must delete the character and re-create it. Once registered a RPG (but not Core) character is locked into its mode.

I'll be investigating the evergreen modules and make sure they're awarding prestige points as expected.

Liberty's Edge 5/5 5/5 *** Venture-Lieutenant, Indiana—Martinsville

I am looking at the number(s) and two of them may be numbers with 7 digits. I have not gotten to talk with two of the players as of yet, but the third didn't have the character registered as the name had already been taken by another. I suggested to add a middle name.

Once that was done and the character was registered, I was able to report that particular player to that game and correct a past game (where a 9 looked like a 4 to me) and seemed that other games corrected themselves once the character was registered.

I do believe something is different than before, but it does seem to still be alright once the reporting and registered character are connected.

Hope that helps. Thank you for the response.

I'm actually having some reporting problems. There are a few players at the table I had on Sunday that didn't have a character registered online, but had a number registered with Paizo. It's giving me an error when I try to enter those players into the system.
"One or more characters cannot play this scenario due to being the wrong character/scenario type."

Edit: It also seems that the two who had no account set up with a registered number worked fine.
Or maybe they had an account but no character 1.

It's the two that have an account, and a character 1, but no registered character for their 2nd slot(which they played) that are not working.

A currently-known issue is reporting events with unregistered characters. We're working on a fix soon but the current workaround is to have them register their characters first and then reporting should work just fine.

I'm having a problem implementing this workaround. I've got the following PCs registered today: 1-6, 8, 10-11. A GM can't report sessions for my -7 and I can't create him.

If having all of the characters registered on this site would become now mandatory for reporting, I would be awfully disapointed.

In my pool of players I have people not speaking a word of english and 12/13 years old kids who dont even have an email adress. So their characters are not registered, and few of them probably have no account on paizo.com.

Not to mention that finding organized play players in a non-english-speaking country is not that easy, and it won't help by telling the new players they HAVE to register many details on an english website.

I am hopefully waiting on a fix to be able to report the two last games we did, which I can't report right now, because I experience the "
One or more characters cannot play this scenario due to being the wrong character/scenario type" message.

Liberty's Edge 5/5 5/5 *** Venture-Lieutenant, Indiana—Martinsville

I reported a character number that was not registered today, so some progress has been made. Woot!!

This is not the intended behavior. It is a bug we are working on.

The Exchange 5/5

I noticed a very minor issue - it seems one of my older PCs (my -16) switched over to CORE when I wasn't looking (maybe when the option went live).

The problem with this is that he's 3rd level, hasn't got any credit in the last two months (all old games, so can't be Core games) and is a Tiefling Gun Tank (not exactly Core...).

Is this a "problem" that will correct itself as soon as I play him in his next Non-Core game?

anyone else have older PCs jumping to "Core" by themselves?

I am very happy to read this! Thank You very much for the job done on this matter!

nosig I'll investigate that, that's not something that should be happening.

Edit: I don't see a -16 character for you, nor any characters that are core. Are you still seeing this behavior, and if so, which character(s)?

Posting as my -16 character.

When I check my account, the listing of my PCs shows two CORE...
This one (my -16) and my (-31)

at least I assume that's what it means when it says this:

Thank you in advance for your work on fixing this!

Sadly I still have problems reporting our last con due to players who have not registered their characters. This have not been an issue before.

Edit: We are not playing CORE. (Not sure where else to post this, sorry).

Many character numbers are causing the report to fail to save. The ones who does save come up as "RPG". I suspect that the ones who fail to save are players who have not registered their character (and many probably never will).

Ditto, Ellen, albeit my reporting is for Core. Because it won't even save, I can't get it to report for credit and I'm 1 table from a star. >.<

I just encountered something. I ran a core scenario today that I had previously run in the standard campaign. I didn't get any prestige from it. it was reported properly as a PFC game.

"Player has already run scenario at session..."

Worse case scenario: Report it just with your GM information, the system will accept it.

GMs with no players are legal, as there are actually times when that is the only way to report certain situations, like giving the Overseer GM credit for GMing a multi-table Special, or GM credit for the Silverhex Chronicles or the old Beginner Box Bash.
