Rotating GMs in quests?

[Silverhand]

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to get my new players to become GMs. My strategy is to give them each a section of a multi-stage PFS sanctioned "Quest". That way, they have a short reading and a short time behind the GM screen.

My question: is it PFS legal for me to have GMs/Players rotate at the same table, doing the same Quest?

Thanks in advance for your insight.

As long as they aren't applying multiple credits for it to the same character, then it's no different than any other GM playing a scenario they prepped. Reporting for GM credit on quests is tricky, but that's another matter.

if you mean questline like Silverhex Chronicles, Phantom Phenomena, and/or Honour's Echo- there is a stipulation- "Any exp accrued after completing any quests renders that character incapable of completing the quest line."

I'm asking a question if it's possible to mix GM credits and Player credits when applying them to the same character.

it's possibly that you could round-robin one Questline, then go one to complete a different quest line.

So let's take Honor's Echo for example:

There are six parts. I have six players.

We round robin the table, each player GMs 1 portion, plays 5.
As long as they do it at the same sitting, and finish what they play that sitting - it's legal?

You could even do that across a couple sittings, as long as those characters aren't used for another scenario in between.

Ahhh! Okay. I was misreading it. Thank you. This clarifies the situation.

Thank you both.

This is actually part of our GM101 class here in Sacramento. As part of the class, each participant preps and GMs one quest from one of the series, and then the others critique them.

reporting it as a legit PFS session will be a pain, fyi, especially if you want to report each session with a different GM separately.

Word of advice- if you run Honour's Echo, have an experienced GM [you] run the last mission- it's more roleplay than anything.

I'd report it as one session with no GM and six players - that seems like the best fit.

Great tips.

Thank you my fellow GMs. Much appreciated.
