An event coordinator is a person organizing Pathfinder Society events, regardless of the size. You may be both a GM and an event organizer at an event.
Who Can be an Event Coordinator
An Event Coordinator can be VO or GM. At a convention, a Venture Captain or Venture Lieutenant may be the Event Coordinator while at a game store, a Venture Agent may be the Event Coordinator. If playing online in Discord or Paizo forums, there is likely to be a VO who is the Event Coordinator. During a home game, whether in someone's living room or online with friends, GMs may act as an Event Coordinator, as well.
Your Duties as an Event Coordinator
As a Pathfinder Society event coordinator, you have the following duties:
- Communicate with your local venture-officer network.
- Schedule games and communicate about the event with prospective players.
- Organize GMs and register players.
- Provide a welcoming environment for players.
- Arrange for player tools to be present.
- Ensure reporting is complete for all games.
