another sanctioned module question


Pathfinder Society

Shadow Lodge 5/5

so there is a plan to start playing a sanctioned module tomorrow in my normal group and I have a question about Timing

we know that sanctioned modules are designed to take place over roughly 3x - 4hour sessions, and that these can be broken up into multiple weeks

so my question is ...

if a character starts playing a sanctioned module are they allowed to take their character to another game while the sanctioned module is in progress, or is their character effectively "Locked" until the sanctioned module is done

Are GM's limited the same or are they fine as long as the character they are applying GM credit to doesnt break tier

The latter (see below).

Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play v. 4.1, p. 24 wrote:

Running Multi-Session Modules

Since sanctioned modules can be multi-session events, Pathfinder Society characters may not be used in other Pathfinder Society events until they receive a Chronicle sheet for the module. GMs are advised to work with players who miss the final session of the module in order for those players to receive their Chronicle sheets.

No, although this is not directly stated in the Guide. I'm not sure what you mean about "break tier", as that is a different issue from which PC to apply the GM credit to. Since a GM decides which character to apply the module to at the end of running the adventure (and not the beginning like PCs), that PCs is technically never "locked".

Happy to. Note that the "GM is never locked" is my interpretation of the rules, as it is not explicitly stated in the Guide; I'm merely making a logical supposition, and could theoretically be contradicted by others.

I can't imagine how it could work otherwise. GM's don't get credit until they finish the adventure and take a Chronicle sheet. At that point they choose a PC for the Chronicle and either apply it immediately or wait until the PC becomes "in tier".
