I have the privilege and honor to announce that Jon Dehning, the Venture-Captain, Minnesota-Minneapolis has earned his 5th star as of Con of the North this weekend!

He is full of dry wit, sarcastic humor, ironic demeanor, but overall, he's a fun guy and a great friend. He does his best to make sure the tables he's GM'ing for are fun and entertaining. Often, he is one of the most popular GMs in the are for people to ask to play at his table.

A couple comments:

Quote:

Jon is always a great representative for PFS. He makes people feel welcome, is cordial in his communications, and has a great way of politely reminding players when they're breaking the rules of Society or the venue. His fair application of the rules is beyond question, and he's always got time to answer a question.

I am honored to be among the (undoubtedly many) people whose characters have met unfortunate ends at his tables.

Quote:

I've never known a person to start on his Wookie costume for Halloween as early as Jon.

Does that count?

The last quote is a good example of the wit and humor he brings to our region, and why many folks like to give the humor back to him as much as he dishes it out.

Congrats my friend!

5/5

Congrats! I'll get there someday.

In the years I've played with Jon has has always added flavor to everything he has done whether that is richness and depth to his adventures, more character to his characters (I'm looking at you, Tako) or maple bacon to his our bourbon.

Thank you Jon.

I am also one of the honored many to have sat at Jon's table. His reputation as a killer DM may not be quite as deserved as one might think (but his love for certain scenario in the Hao Jin Tapestry may have something to do with it!)

I can honestly say that today I am a much better GM, player, and probably even person for having met Jon! I learn from him every time I play or run a game when he is at the table, and he has been an open ear whenever I have questions about PFS... of any kind!

Congratulations, my friend! Your accolades are well deserved!

I never would have had the courage to finish off my first tpk table without Jon's... tender... guidance. Though I agree his 'killer' reputation is undeserved :D

Congrats Jon!

Him?

I guess the Decemvirate will reward just about anyone these days.

I still consider you weak.

You know, when I hear three skeletons and a skeleton champion wiped out a Pathfinder away team, I say that reputation is earned.

I'm guessing it was that whole dinosaur costume bit. He still makes me wear it every so often.

He has embarrassed his ancestors. Again.

Andy didn't include my comment. I'd like to point out that at least 100 of those stars were earned while not sober. That has to be a record!

Well done on breaking the record Jon!

Congrats, sir. As a (somewhat) new member of the Fargo branch of your lodge, I look forward to meeting you at some point, hopefully in the near future.

Thanks everyone! It was a most enjoyable time. I met quite a few awesome folks along the way and made many friendships as well. A few people I want to thank are Sveden, Mister Slanky, Chris Mortika, Andy and Ryan Blomquist for bringing me into the fold, the wait staff at Scotty's for creating the crazy fishbowl drink that was not on the menu, the bartender at Paizocon who handed over the remote to the TV so I could watch The Netherland's World Cup match last year, and every character I have had the pleasure of introducing to Pharasma.

No need to hate. I realize not everyone can look this sexy.

Hurler and Silbeg's kind words gave me pause last night as I read them. Thanks guys, yer the best!

Slanky! Try over 100.

That reminds me... I owe it to Jon for his coaching on how to GM after drinking far too much at Scotty's the night before. Wait... that's less about the coaching, more about the shoving giant fishbowls full of alcoholic concoctions into my face.

So, Jon, what have you learned in all of those tables? Any specific memorable anecdotes you'd like to share?

I am sure there are lots that he like to share... but I fear he won't remember them.

Never get in the fountain, no matter what Hitchcock tells you.

So, there we were, in this peaceful country manor. Minding our own business, as Pathfinders always do. bluff: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

When all of a sudden, this chaos beast attacks. We dealt it quite the beating, with my strong, Taldan-made steel striking the final blow. I was a little... concerned... however, to see that the GM Jon was practically quivering in anticipation of being able to turn me into pile of chaos-goo. By Aroden, I am glad I struck clean, and finished the beast!

I see this was posted in Common. Taco is disappoint. My one suggestion to appease him was post it in Tien :D Don't blame this Pathfinder, Taco.

Cograts Jon!! I always enjoy playing at your table! Even when you bullrushed me off a 180ft bridge.

We are #blessed with awesome GMs in the TC area.
