The idea has been floated recently of making a form-fillable PDF that will aid the GM in collecting all of the information needed to produce an accurate chronicle sheet quickly and easily after a PFS session has been completed.
The idea is that the following will occur at the end of a PFS game:
The GM fills out the template pre-chronicle fillable PDF form with all of the details regarding the scenario - gold gained, prestige gained, items available for purchase.
The GM makes the template pre-chronicle available to the players.
Each player fills out the various pieces of the form: player name, PC name, PFS number & PC #, Faction; Chronicle #, Starting XP, Starting Fame and Prestige, Starting Gold, Day Job roll, items sold, items purchased.
The template pre-chronicle will do all of the calculations to give final XP, Prestige, Fame & Gold.
The player sends their completed template pre-chronicle form back to the GM.
The GM quickly and easily fills out the end chronicle sheet - all of the info needed is available (with auto calculations) in the template pre-chronicle sheet.
I've attached a form fillable PDF that can be filled out by both the GM and the player, and also an example of a fully completed template pre-chronicle.
I've based this form off the season 4 chronicle as this has a section for sales and purchases (which the season 5 chronicle does not) and so this can help with auto GP calculations. The chronicles over the different seasons have had different formats (fame not on earlier seasons, prestige/fame reversed from season 3/4 to 5, etc.) so I don't think there is any specific one sheet that would be in a similar format to any of the chronicles, but I think that it is good to base the form off a format that is familiar to the players.
I'm completely open to feedback/suggestions on this form.
This is a completely optional form to use - there is no requirement that GMs/Players have to use this form.
