Kinda odd. Me too; only EMH-12's up for me (which I played on Sunday). XMH-3 and EMH-11 (which I played Friday) still not up. Interesting, according to the "Display Cert" field of my MoH character, the EMH-12 data was entered by Dave Christ. Possibly he's sitting in his basement with a HUGE stack of reporting sheets that had all the Sunday results on the top, ticking away on his computer and hasn't reached Friday's portion of the stack yet. GO DAVE GO!!
grahamdrew 02-28-06, 10:21 AM	I've got EMH-12, XMH-3 and the DM's Mark, but not XMH-11. For some reason I don't have anything listed in the Digital Certs columns though, despite earning at last one story object for each of those games. EDIT: By the way, I played the DM's Mark on Friday, so I don't think it's time related. Andrew Beard
AnonyCon.com 02-28-06, 10:43 AM	Dave does have help. He's listed because he's the Senior GM for Winter Fantasy. I assume that's how it works. This is somewhat troubling to me that some have the data and some don't, since it implies that they have Validated all the tables that they have already entered. Perhaps things work different, since I do know they order each day as a separate event... but I hope we can all get this straightened out.
TimRat 03-02-06, 01:57 PM	there are some issues with EMH11 and the special. they have to input them back at HQ but i have no idea when it will get corrected but i know there working on it.
grahamdrew 03-02-06, 02:56 PM	there are some issues with EMH11 and the special. they have to input them back at HQ but i have no idea when it will get corrected but i know there working on it. What about the DM's Mark and EMH-12? EMH-11 is the only mod I'm flat-out missing (besides the LGR and Living Spycraft mods), but EVERY mod I played has a screwed up digital certs section. I emailed the rpgasanctioning address, but haven't heard anything back (which isn't too surprising, given that they're probably swamped). My group's holding off on the March DM's Mark until this gets resolved, so it's kind of killing the game at the moment. Andrew Beard
Madfox11 03-06-06, 05:26 AM	Weird, while EMH11 is missing from the reward points section it is noted at the character section so I am assuming my character got the xp and gold from it. EMH3 (the special) is the only thing flat-out missing from my list. I am missing all electronic certs, which is OK for Escape from Grea Tower because my character did not earn any, but is kind of a bummer for the DMs Mark, especially since my character is a member of house Orien and we had SRM as a DM...
Mike Czaplinski 03-06-06, 05:43 AM	WF + 1 week and still no adventures added to my listing apart from EMH-12. I wonder, though, if as someone else in the thread mentioned that the character listing does reflect WF activity, since my EV is right about where it should be given the certs my various DM's told me I had earned (I got one that boosted it, and another that took it down a little, and sure enough the EV is right where it should be in that case). Still waiting: it would be nice to get cards this mailing period, but if the other 2 adventures I did at WF don't get reported, I'll likely miss out. MikeC
Sieylianna 03-06-06, 07:11 AM	Still waiting: it would be nice to get cards this mailing period, but if the other 2 adventures I did at WF don't get reported, I'll likely miss out. The cutoff for cards this mailing period was months ago, so WF results won't affect the March mailing. Ed
grahamdrew 03-06-06, 09:40 PM	Any word on getting the reporting problems resolved? Right now I'm: Missing reporting for EMH-11 Missing reporting for LGR-24 Missing reporting for Triple Play (Living Spycraft) Missing digital certs for EMH-12 Missing digital certs for XMH-3 Missing digital certs for DM's Mark This really looks silly. It's sad to say, but I'm really starting to think that whatever the RPGA directly touches gets screwed up. With reporting being so important to D&D Campaigns, it seems like the system just set itself up to fail. I signed on with the RPGA to play games and have fun. Worrying about red-tape issues like making sure things get reported just isn't fun. Andrew Beard
paigeoliver 03-06-06, 11:59 PM	Try Living Greyhawk. A good percentage of the Living Greyhawk tables I have played at (even at conventions), have gone unreported, BUT there is no down side to that other than lack of reward points. And since the reward points just get you Eberron cards, well, then there isn't much reason to care about them. Any word on getting the reporting problems resolved?

And since the reward points just get you Eberron cards, well, then there isn't much reason to care about them. I do play LG occasionally, but I've decided it really isn't my style; honestly, the campaign itself isn't the thing that bugs me right now. The thing that bugs me right now isn't that Mark of Heroes uses digital tracking or even the new digital certs proceedure, either. It's that the event reporting has been totally screwed up. Winter Fantasy is THE RPGA convention. It is, as far as I know, the only convention in the world run by the RPGA itself instead of a convention having an RPGA presence. I would expect that of all conventions, Winter Fantasy would get the reporting right. I had a great time at Winter Fantasy, I really did. I got to sit down with some fantastic players and some talented judges. Everyone at the HQ was extremely helpful answering questions to the best of their knowledge (which was at times limited, bit understandable given the circumstances). The reporting though... what a mess. I don't know how it got screwed up, and I wouldn't even mind nearly as much if we got an update with some assurance that it was being addressed. I'm sorry I'm getting on a bit of a rant here, but it just seems to me like when the RPGA can't get the reporting right for their own convention it loses a whole lot of credibility. Andrew Beard
Madfox11 03-08-06, 05:50 AM	The Living Greyhawk games I run were all reported including the slot 0s and the WF Fiesta. Of the Mark of Heroes games 3 were reported, though I did not get the electronic certs of 2. So that is 1 game out of 9 that is completely missing. I have seen worse, much worse...

(Raises Hand) Worse. I'm missing three tables of EMH 11. My Living Greyhawk, EMH 12, and DMs Mark tables are all there, so the problem is only EMH 11 for me. That's three tables out seven that are completely missing. I have seen better, much better... :D
Madfox11 03-08-06, 06:54 AM	Except that the organizers of the con already mentioned there were problems with EMH11 and XMH3, so if you only ran EMH11 and/or XMH3 it is no surprise it looks worse for you ;)

I'm missing three out of six this point. If you factor in the three that have been reported are all missing the digital certs, I'm zero for six. I haven't seen much worse than that. I also found out that one of the other players who was at the same Living Spycraft table does have the game show up as reported in his activity report. I feel like if they mistakenly dropped me from the table I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting it fixed until they address the larger issues, though. Andrew Beard

I haven't seen much worse than that. Well, one problem with the Digital Cert aspect is that they also don't seem to enter "none" if that is the case. I recieved no cert for XMH-3 but am not surprised by that since we didn't finish, I also got none for EMH-12, but when we left the table we asked our DM about the certs and I believe that he said that we didn't get any, and we completed it just fine. Thus as far as I can tell it may even be *likely* not to get a cert for EMH-12. However with the lack of an active statement of "none" it becomes hard to tell if there was an error or not. You may not be zero for six, I consider it likely that for at least some subset (or all) of the entered modules you just didn't get any cert.

Nope, every judge that I played with gave us a rundown of the story objects we were going to be receiving. I don't want to describe them in detail due to spoiler reasons, but from memory I was expecting: 1 Story Object from the DM's Mark. A friend at the same table picked up two (but also has none listed). 2 Story Objects from XMH-3 At least one story object from EMH-11. My memory is a little fluffy on if there were additional ones, but I can ask as I knew two of the people at the table. Two story objects from EMH-12. If anyone who played the mods wants to compare notes on Story Objects they were expected, PM me. Andrew Beard
