5th Nova question

[RP.]

I'm not even at 2nd Nova yet, but I want to be able to plan for achieving the 5th Nova. I have some questions re. the requirements:

Quote:

A GM must accomplish the following baseline achievements to qualify for their fifth nova:

Report 150 sessions as GM.
Run 50 different adventures.
Run 10 or more scenarios featuring the Exclusive tag.
Complete 3 observation games in the presence of a venture-captain, a regional venture-coordinator, or a member of the Paizo Organized Play staff (see below for rubric).

Is there a distinction between "reporting 150 sessions as GM" and "run(ning) 50 different adventures"? Also what is the meaning of an "adventure," as opposed to say a module from an AP, or a scenario?

What are scenarios with the Exclusive tag? I've seen this expressed as a special before. Seems to me it would be a challenge to GM more than 2 specials a year if that's the case, and I've yet to GM one.

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, I found no other similar threads!

Yes. You must GM 150 sessions with 50 unique adventures/scenarios. Reporting 150 tables of The Commencement would fail the second requirement. Adventure is an adventure: a scenario, a quest pack, an AP volume and a one-shot are all different flavors of adventure, and each counts as one adventure.

Right now the Exclusive/Nova tag is on the interactive specials, certain year-ending scenarios (see here for more details) and 1-98 Into the Perplexity: The First Trial.
