Fair Winds and Following Seas

Mike, thank you for your dedicated service and your commitment to making PFS the thundering success that it has become. Your guidance and steady hand at the wheel will surely be missed.

It was an honor to meet you and play at your table of Bonekeep Level 1 in Ypsilanti, MI in 2013. May God's grace and blessings be upon you, sir, and your loved ones.

I'm glad I can say that I had a character die a glorious death at his hands.

Thanks for all of your years of service, Mike. You've done an incredible job at running PFS and keeping us all in line. Good luck in your future endeavors!

you'll be missed, looking forwards to sitting at your table at Paizocon UK

Thank you for everything you've done for the campaign, Mike! And the best of luck in whatever you do next.

Best wishes to you and your family Mike. Thank you for everything you have done to make this group what it is. Your efforts will be missed, but we know your legacy will live on. See you at GenCon.

Thanks for everything you've done for the campaign. I wish you the best luck in the future.

"I was always taught to leave a situation better than I entered it. I hope I have done that."

Indeed you have. I wish you and your family the best in this next chapter of your life.

It was a good run! You did a lot of good for PFS and I always had a good time when you were at the table. Good luck to you and your family in whatever comes next!

Thanks for all the hard work you've put into PFS and making it great. Best of wishes.

Farewell mike, your efforts have always been appreciated. I hope that your family issues resolve themselves well and you continue to roll well.

Thank you for everything you have done. You will be missed. Good luck with everything

Thank you very very much Mike, for everything you've done to make PFS play in the Netherlands run smoothly and make us feel appreciated.

Good luck. Family goes first.

I refuse to say good-bye.

So long, see you later, till we meet again, auf wiedersehen, sayanora, au revoir, ciao, you name it. But not good-bye.

Thank you, for the hours devoted to our mutual hobby. Thank you, for providing a framework that made gaming in different countries and with so many amazing people possible. Thank you, for the chance to test myself and see what I could do. Thank you, for being a friend. And thanks to your family, who supported your traveling and dedication to making PFS great. I appreciate their sacrifice and selflessness.

Blessings on your future endeavors! Can't wait to hear the stories!

Hopefully this means you finally get to enjoy more gaming and less golfing ;-)

We'll miss you!

Heartfelt wishes to you and your family.

thank you so much to all you have given us... not just a game, but the opportunity to make new friends, new memories and most of all, feel loved.

Best wishes in all that you do... PaizoCon UK is going to be a hell of a party.

Hugs

All the good lines have been taken, so I'll just say that I hope to see you again in the future, perhaps rolling dice together!

Take care of you and yours in the meantime.

Thank you so much for making PFS something my son an I simply love.

Thanks for your time, patience, and endless energy. I think you did a great job and Pathfinder Organized Play has improved by leaps and bounds. This was a tough job but you listened to the fans and implemented lots of great stuff. Thank you.

Your leadership will be missed. Fare thee well.

Thanks for all your leadership and hard work Mike! Best wishes

Thank you or everything you have done and godspeed in what ever new adventure comes your way

Mike, thanks for all you've done.

Good luck and good fortune.

Mike, I only had a few interactions with you in person, but all of them were pleasant and memorable and I wish you the best in your future endeavors!

Mike, your leadership will be missed. I hope you continue to play and GM. I had the pleasure to play, and survive, (and learn some new GMing skills) at one of your Bonekeep tables.

Mike, Thank you for everything you brought to Paizo. I probably would not have picked up PFS if it were not for the many ways you made the game come alive.

I suppose I should comment on this...

I first met Mike (and his amazing wife) at Gen Con 2010 as his GM for Year of the Shadow Lodge, his first PFS event. I got to know him a bit more only a month later at Dragon*Con when we ran Rebel's Ransom side-by-side (oh the horror!)

Our friendship grew but was easily eclipsed by his passion for this silly little game. While Massacre Miles and his minions lead the charge in the Midwest, Mike was building something more powerful in the Deep South. That community exploded, catapulting Mike into his Overlord role where he spread his passion to the far corners of the Earth.

Without Mike, his love for the game, and his strong leadership (feat), this campaign and this game we love would be unknown to tens of thousands of people who now bolster our community.

Than you Mike. Thank you for all that you've done. I still regret not killing your dwarf.

Thanks for all the hard work, and I hope your future is bright.

Mike, you'll definitely be missed by us all. You left behind some HUGE shoes to fill. I wish you the best with your family and the challenges you'll continue to face. Our prayers will be with you.

My kid has fond memories of meeting you when she attended her first Con over here in Sydney Australia.

She was playing Rise of the Goblin Guild, and you signed her toy Goblin - that Goblin is now legend around these parts, and so are you :)

Well done Mike! Thanks again for GMing Bonekeep 1 for us Winnipegers those years ago. Enjoy your Seeker status :)

Mike,

I hope that whatever issues you have in your life that have lead to this resolve in the best way possible. Your impact on PFS could not be more clear than in the outpouring in this thread.

Thank you and good fortune.

Glad you are going to be spending more time with your family. PFS community will miss ya but we will journey onwards. All the best.

Best wishes, and I hope for the best for your family regarding the health issues you mentioned.

Good luck in your future endeavors and thanks for everything you've done for PFS! It's been a pleasure knowing you and I will have fond memories of the visits you made to MegaCon!! We'll save a seat at the table for you...

Thanks for all your dedication and good work. Wishing you the best of luck in whatever you choose to do in the future.

Thank you for your service.

Good luck on your next adventure, Mike.

Mike, I am glad to have hosted you at Orccon in Los Angeles this last spring. The worldwide campaign was blessed with your envolvement, and I hope that your future endeavors are as challenging and enjoyable as the job you are leaving!

You shall leave a hole in community but I hope that you remain active in your local community and continue to join the various events and conventions throughout the world. I know you will always be welcome everywhere the PFS is played and RPGs are consumed!

Great working with you (what is the number now? :) ).

I look forward to working with you at Gencon and I still owe you a drink!

Robyn

Thank you for all your work. The changes you made to PFS were fun and I always enjoyed working with you.

It will be sad to see you go, but thank you for everything you've done!

Man Im actually getting a little emotional. I still appreciate you answering some one on one emails, something i never expected from someone of such stature yet you took the time because of the love of the game. A class act all around.

Best wishes on anything life lays out for you.

I am going to miss you Mike. I hope to see you come next year at Gen-Con or maybe Dragon Con :D It will not be the same Mike. I believe you are leaving PFS in great shape. Fair Winds Mike.

-James

Thanks for all you did, including attracting so many people for us all to play games with!

Good luck, Mike. Thanks for everything!!!

I had the pleasure of working closely with you for a couple seasons of PFS, Mike, and they were among the best years I had working on the campaign. You've done amazing things with it since taking over. I still remember getting word that you were coming onboard (I was at home playing Half-Life 3 when Erik called me) and it's been incredible seeing what you've done since then. Best of luck in your future endeavors! I look forward to catching up one last time while you're in your Paizo blues at Gen Con.

Good luck Mike, and thank you for your all your hard work.

Sad to see you go.

Mike, without you and your contributions to PFS, I might never have joined the Society, and I certainly wouldn't have stayed as long as I have. I can't thank you enough for your years of service, and I hope that your path in life continues to bring you as many good turns as you've brought us.
