Hail and well met, Pathfinders!

This month finds me traveling to two conventions. On February 3rd, I'm off to Winter Fantasy in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where Tanis and I will launch the Season of the Runelords for the Adventure Card Guild. We've got a full slate of events—RPG scenarios and quests, as well as the ACG games and open play. There's plenty of space, so come on out and join me! With a new season comes a new organized play guide, so look for the new Adventure Card Game guide on paizo.com later this week. After a few days back in Seattle, I fly to Minnaepolis-St. Paul for Con of the North. Starting with a meet & greet Friday morning and ending with an RPG session on Sunday night, I've got a full slate of games planned. I can't wait to roll dice with other Society members. If you're attending, stop by and say hi!

Over the past two months, several people achieved their fifth star. I offer congratulations to the following for meeting the criteria—150 games ran, including 10 special events. Reaching 5 stars includes approximately 600 hours of game mastering, not including preparation time. So a resounding cheer for the following:

Jeremy Chapman
Brett Sweeny
Joshua Hancock
Alex Rockatansky
Terry Thambpailli

Speaking of time commitments. Venture-Captains spend many hours planning events, organizing games, and making sure things run smoothly. Over the past few months, several of our Venture-Captains reached their three-year anniversary. Campaign Service Coins, each engraved with a unique number, are given to recognize such service to our Society. It is my pleasure to award Campaign Service Coins to VCs Michael Meunier (#751), Sebastian Schirrmeister (#752), and Wolf Vituschek (#753). Thank you very much for your effort and hard work on behalf of the Pathfinder Society. There is one other Society member that deserves recognition. Last November, tragedy struck Paris on the eve of PaizoCon France. Venture-Captain Karim Majere and Venture-Lieutenant Florent Fournol ensured the safety of the Pathfinders within their city. In the face of adversary, they adapted and overcame many difficulties to deliver a convention to their players. VC Karim received his Campaign Service Coin this past PaizoCon UK. I'm so very please to award Florent Coin #754 and thank him for his service to the Pathfinders.

The Venture-Agent program is off to a resounding start. With the launch of the program, Since January, I've promoted 182 people to this position, and more applications reach my inbox every day. Big thanks to everyone who stepped up and volunteered to help organize games.
