Congrats to Marc Daoust and all others achieving your fifth star. I think anyone here who has GM'd understands what it would take to achieve that.
Lets hope that all of you continue your work as GMs and provide a means to more players to have fun and that TPKs end up happening less often than a blue moon!

Gen Con is previewing the 2016 event catalog on their website starting at noon this Friday, May 6. Next Monday's blog will provide more information about Paizo's lineup, as well as an introduction to this years team leading the volunteer crew at Gen Con. Tune in to get the inside scoop!
If we haven't gotten our Paizo GM badge information for Gen Con yet, should we be worried? Event signup is in 13 days...........

Gee I have three 5 star congratulations to go out on this blog.
First, Richard deMorros. I had the privilege of being the VC at the 5 star game for both one of my favorite scenarios and one that I was finally able to get my play credit (GMd the heck out of this one as mentioned it was a favorite). It was a blast and he played some of the exchanges with the major NPCs extremely well.
Jeremy Mayr back in 2013 was and currently is a great player. After several games as a player became a great GM in the Spokane Area. In September of 2013, he stepped up to run games out of the Uncle's Games store in the Spokane Valley Mall. He spent a bit of time as a Venture-Lieutenant and is now one of two Venture-Agents in the Spokane area. With creative use of Dwarven Forge, he made his run of The Goblinblood Dead unique helping in achieving his 5 star status.
Last ,but certainly not least, Andrew Porter. Andrew was my very first outside of Spokane GM for my very first Multitable special back in 2012 during the Winterfest event in Pullman, WA. If Andrew was as much fun for his 5 star table that he was during that event (I bet more so now), there was no reason that he did not achieve his 5 star status.
Congratulations to you three and my continued thanks for all the support you have provided to your local communities, the Spokane area (they both have helped me on several occasions with events in my area), and the global community.
A hearty congratulations to the rest of the list of new 5 star GMs!! You have my thanks for your support of both your local communities and the global PFS community.
Huzzah!!!
Edit: Missed a name on the list. Sorry about that Jeremy.
Tonya, way to play up your PFS number in the blog!!

Well done Chris Manning. He kills my characters but I still love him. (I'm sure I have detected necromantic magic in his dice tower.) He is always there at our games conventions to entertain our players. Keep at it Chris. And very well done to all the other 5-Star dudes.

Congratulations to all of you. But particularly Chris Manning as he has been such a stalwart in the UK Pathfinder community and in running online games. He's been a keen supporter of Pathfinder Society since the early days and has been more than willing to run games at events and produce some magnificent scenery. Thank you Chris!

A few weeks ago, I unveiled a new Event Support Policy on the blog. It generated quite a bit of discussion, and I put a note in the comments that the team had read the commentary and was reassessing the program. I intended to post the revised policy today, but unfortunately technical difficulties while on the road meant I couldn't access my notes. I ask for your patience for just a bit longer while I return to Seattle, retrieve my notes, and pull the edges together.
I am bumping this. Not because I am impatient, but because I want to be sure that it stays somewhere on the radar. This is still very important to me (and to others, I am quite sure). I know Paizocon happened, and GenCon is upcoming. But many of us will be planning our fall events, and even looking ahead toward winter, and will want to know what to expect when we begin putting together our promotions.
Like I said, just a little bump. I'm not hyperventilating, yet. (-:

Not forgotten you. Took it back to the drawing board for a revamp, then put it out for commentary. Have gotten the feedback, so just need to clean the format and then will post it. It addresses the concerns raised in this thread and I think everyone will be pleased with the final result.
Thanks for keeping me on it :D

I missed this response, initially, and am now very happy to have seen it. Thank you (belatedly) for posting the reply. Enjoy Origins. (:

I believe Tonya is en route to PaizoCon UK now and might possibly be going straight from there to Gencon? Or maybe back just shortly at the office before heading to Indy?
So this might end up in the back seat til Gencon winds down. :/

Yeah. But it's been in the back seat since May for much the same reason (Dragon Con, Origins, Paizocon).
I, and many of the people of the people who posted in this thread, have events of our own that we are were working on. This kind of thing can have a pretty big impact.
I understand being busy, as I am often too busy for many things myself. But eventually I need to set aside something I'm "too busy" with in order to pay attention to things that are important to those who rely on me. Formatting a document should not be a months-long chore. Finding the time to address it should not be something that interrupts business to the extent that these conventions will suffer the consequences.

I understand the frustration, and Im not trying to make excuses. Im just informing you, in case you were unaware.
Good luck!

First: How bizarre that I typed those words twice. I seem to have a typing-stutter...
Second: I appreciate the acknowledgement. Thank you. I promise I'm not frustrated. Just bumping. Frustration can be staved off for another month.
