I congratulated Louis, Jack and Keith on their campaign service coins at PaizoCon, but let me now congratulate the two Europeans who just received campaign service coins, Sebastian and Simon!
Sebastian is our own devilish gentleman on these boards. He’s a German VC who is continually helping out others and looking for solutions that will help everyone. He’s an inspiration to us all. I am happy to consider him a mentor and a friend! Well deserved, Mr. Hirsch!
Simon is the creator of the PFS Session Tracker, a program that is used extensively not only in his native Netherlands, but in Minnesota, Online Play, and many other places. It helps groups get together and find shared games, and he’d continually improving upon it and keeping it updated. He’s also a very helpful and kind VL whose gentle humor and diligent work makes life easier for the rest of us. Well deserved, Mr. Kort!
Thank you all for your service to the Campaign!
Hmm
PS Congratulations to the other new five stars!
PPS My new star-shaped ioun stone is not showing. Can someone from Customer Service please place it spinning around my head? Thank you!

I got to play in Mike's Friday evening game, and it was so much fun! (Especially as said rider-of-a-unicorn). If Broken Lattice is on offer again at future cons, I would highly recommend it!
Congratulations, Walter! I know how hard you've worked for this, and you are such an asset to our region. I still remember how much I enjoyed my very first run of the Confirmation, which you ran, expertly teaching the game to the brand-new players at the table with patience and good humor. I look forward to seeing you at PacifiCon!
Hilary, I don't think there are words to express how high my esteem is for you. You bring such joy and positivity to the community and the game. You have done so much to promote Play-by-Post, and I'm proud to be a part of that community. Your thoughtfulness adds depth to every conversation you take part in, and your songs brighten every game you play in. As a GM, you are fun, energetic, and engaging, making sure to include everyone at the table. Congratulations on this recognition, and I can't wait to tackle demos alongside you at GenCon.

:) Assumption not in evidence, your VO-ness.
I've not had a chance to hear one live, which from the exposure to them I've had from DragonCon over the years, I understand is the most important, so I can only attest to the creativity.

Congratulation to all the new 5 Star GMs and Campaign Coins recipients.
Organized play would not be the same without all the dedicated GMs and volunteers that go beyond the call of duty, and while I am sure that all are deserving I can only comment about the ones I had contact with:
- Harald Schlang: I have had the privilege of knowing Harald for a number of years, it is a pleasure have him at the table as a player and he is one of our most dependable GMs. Especially when it comes to tables that need a delicate touch, he is the right GM for the job.
A couple of months ago he ran a table of Call of the Copper gate for me, and thus far it has been my most enjoyable table this season.
- Simon Kort: Despite sometimes using his amazing tracker a lot, and sometimes even requesting its use from players... I only recently had the opportunity to meet him in person.
Unfortunately, I didn't have a proper thank you present for him when I met him, but it would have been hard to find a proper thank you for all of his hard work.
Let's be frank, just like sites like pfsprep, his tracker has been a great quality of life improvement for players and organizers worldwide, and he has absolutely deserved to be recognized.
- Hilary Moon Murphy: Hilary is one of those people I would have never met without coming to PFS, and while I still have to meet her in person (a very high reason to visit the US) I envy a lot of her players.

I wrote this for something else, but it seems appropriate to share here.
[Verse 1]
♫ Just a gamer girl, living in a lonely world
She took the PBP train going anywhere
Learnin’’ what words are for, pushes & hooks galore,
Let’s take the PBP train going anywhere
Prose that sends you past the moon
Characters with funky boons
If party’s chemistry’s right
It goes on and on and on ♫
[Chorus]
♫ Gamers posting, up and down the Flaxseed Lodge
Their discoveries light the night
The right NPC, living just to find emotion
Combats, fighting the good fight ♫
[Verse 2]
♫ Working hard on my GM skill
Everybody wants a thrill
Playin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to twist the rules
Oh, the campaign never ends
It goes on and on and on and on ♫
[Chorus]
♫ Gamers posting, up and down the Flaxseed Lodge
Their discoveries light the night
The right NPC, living just to find emotion
Combats, fighting the good fight ♫
[Outro]
♫ Don't stop believing
Hold on to the feeling
Laughter, roleplay
Postin’ the day away
Hold on
I’m here to stay
Blow me away
Don't stop believing
Hold on to the feeling
Five Stars Hooray! ♫

Tragically, I’m a far better lyricist than I am a singer. Like Alan Menken I prefer it when others sing my songs!
