New to PFS: I didn't have a PFS Number at my first session...


Pathfinder Society


So when I played my first PFS session, I didn't have a number. Well, I did, but we were a bit rushed at the end of the session, so I don't know if I actually managed to write it on the sheet for the GM to report it. As I was running late for my volunteering shift, I didn't have a chance to ask the coordinator for help registering my character online or recording the Chronicle or anything like that. It's now been over a month, and I have yet to get this fixed (it still doesn't show up on that character's "Sessions" tab, or anywhere else I can find). What should I do about this?

I only realized that this could be a problem because 1) I've decided to build another PFS-legal character (just for fun, not necessarily to play) and have been perusing the forums for advice, and 2) I saw a thread recently about "timely reporting" - I think it was geared more toward the GM side of things, but it got me thinking.

Additional Details: As a volunteer at the con (U-Con, in Ypsilanti, MI, if anyone cares) and a last-minute drop-in player on the last day of con, I didn't have time right after my session nor later in the day to get help from the coordinator, who most definitely offered to help me with this. I was busy with my volunteer duties up until after clean-up had finished, and forgot all about it.

You can go to THIS PAGE to find out who your Venture Officers are and get their email addresses. I suspect you want to talk to William Jones. Maybe Eric Clingenpeel can help also. He is a very regular poster on these forums.

Good luck! :)

As long as you have the physical chronicle sheet, you're OK. The game doesn't have to be reported online, although there are some advantages if it is, such as should you ever lose your character's chronicle sheets at some point in the future and you need to rebuild your record.

I just checked U-Con's reporting site and The Fox is correct, VC William Jones (Xathanos) was the coordinator for the convention. He can get you added to the event reporting.


Awesome, thanks. And that name does sound like the name of the guy I was talking to for most of that weekend, so that's good.

Thanks for being so friendly. I'm glad this community tries so hard to welcome newbies like me!

In case you didn't know, you can re-build your character as much as you want before you get to level 2. So you can build the new character and still get credit on it for the session you played.
