Can I Use a Replay as a GM?

I just finished reporting my having hosted Extinction Curse #1: The Show Must Go On for the 2nd time.

Is it possible for a GM to use a Replay to get the Chronicle Sheet and other benefits for a sanctioned Adventure Path volume? If so, how do I do that?

Also, can I report my having hosted an adventure path module to any benefit if the players abandoned it prior to completing it? I had one group that played halfway, but then then disbanded due to extenuating circumstances.

(1) Using replays for GM credit is not supported in the reporting site, so no. Or if you're feeling optimistic about the future of the Paizo website, not yet.

(2) Note that in PFS2, Replays can be used on sanctioned content that is scenario-length or shorter, such as One-Shots, non-repeatable Quests and Free RPG Day adventures. Replays cannot be used on long-form content such as standalone modules or Adventure Path volumes.
Source: the blog post announcing replays here.

(3) When players do not finish a Scenario, the general rule is to reward them proportionally for what they accomplished up to the point where they abandoned the adventure. However, with AP books or other non-Society Adventures which run in adventure mode, this is far more discretionary, because you as GM can essentially do anything you want.

So when reporting the repeat session, I just...don't put in a character number in the GM section? Is that what is intended?

If that number gets filled out, does the system know not to award XP and a Chronicle?

(I'm wondering if I've got edits to make.)

The system has recognized when I ended up with multiple chronicles for a scenario as a player*, so I suspect what you'll see is a message saying you've already received credit for Gming that scenario, and the character will show as receiving no reputation

It looks to me like the system is giving the character full credit. It's marked as having gained 12 XP and reputation.

No messages or alerts or anything as yet.

If that's not the way it's intended to go, here's hoping that when Paizo gets around to that promised site redesign, they make this stuff "idiot proof."

Yea, just leave the character part empty - fill in your player (GM) number, but don't fill in the 2001 /etc.

Okay. So not idiot proof then. I'll give that a try.
