Hw do I use a Replay?

I have one game where the GM noted I had already played it in the record, but it was with a different character each time. (It was "#4-09: Killer in the Golden Mask" if that matters.

4/5 ****

Whomever reports the session checks a box when they report on Paizo, so you should make sure they know, most commonly by checking a relevant box on the sign-in sheet.

As a reminder most adventures (without using a replay) may only be played once total. (Not once per character), including #4-09: Killer in the Golden Mask.

**

To simplify things;

Step 1) Determine if the scenario has the Repeatable tag. If yes, then you do not need to do anything more, although a character may never recieve a second chronicle for the same scenario.

Step 2) If the scenario does not have the repeatable tag, inform the Game Master you would like to use a Replay. In my limited experience, GMs will not have a problem with this, but per official rules a GM can refuse to allow a repeat if they're not comfortable with a player having foreknowledge (Although this doesn't seem to apply to players who have GM'd so as to avoid putting anyone who runs a game at a disadvantage)

Step 3) Check the Replay? Box in the reporting sheet (Make sure you have a replay available. You get two for free, and GMs recieve one a year for each glyph they have, but after that they are 40 ACP each)

You can also replay for no credit, but only if your presence would be necessary for the game to go off. You get no rewards, but death, conditions, and consumable use in the scenario do not carry on to your next game.

Thank you everyone!

Squark, where can I find all of those rules details that you mentioned?

Pathfinder Society 2e Guide

I like the single page version best but to each their own.

Some relevant quotes from the guide:

Repeatable wrote:
Players and GMs may receive credit for scenarios with this tag an unlimited number of times, though characters can still only receive credit once for a given scenario.
Replaying Adventures wrote:

Replaying Adventures

By default, each player can receive up to two Chronicles for a given adventure: one for playing the adventure and one for running the adventure as the GM. Players can play each adventure once and GM it as many times as they like. GMing an adventure contributes to GM Glyph rewards and earns AcP even when it does not award a Chronicle.

Ways to Replay

There are several ways to replay adventures:

Adventures with the Repeatable tag: Adventures with the Repeatable tag can be played any number of times, with a different character each time. Unlike other adventures, they also grant a Chronicle every time they are GMed.

Granted and Purchased Replays: All players are granted 2 Replays after their first game. Each January 1st, GMs are granted 1 additional Replay for each Glyph they have earned up to that point. Additional replays can be purchased from the AcP Boon Store. Players must have or purchase a Replay prior to completion and reporting of the scenario they are replaying.

Granted and Purchased Replays can only be used on sanctioned content that is scenario-length or shorter. Each granted or purchased Replay allows one replay of an adventure you have already played as though that adventure had the Repeatable tag.

Replaying for no credit: This is only allowed if the alternative is for the table not to play. Players must record any items or resources expended and may be given a blank Chronicle for this purpose. This is an exception to the rule that you cannot assign more than one copy of a single adventure's Chronicle to a given character.

Rules for Replaying

Rules for Replaying wrote:

One Chronicle per Character: Each character can only earn one copy of a Chronicle for any single adventure. You cannot replay an adventure for credit with a character that has already received credit for that adventure.

Notify the GM: Inform the GM that you have already played the adventure or run it as a GM. Although a GM should endeavor to be flexible, the GM maintains the right to deny running the adventure for you if they feel uncomfortable running the event for players who have foreknowledge of the story.

No Spoilers: When you are replaying an adventure, avoid spoiling the adventure’s plot or using insider information to affect gameplay. Doing so can be grounds for the GM to remove you from the table. In general, be mindful in separating player knowledge from character knowledge, and if you are uncertain how to proceed, speak privately with the GM to determine the best course of action.
