Wow thank you, this looks very helpful.

Um hello, I'm new to the Paizo forum's - and I'm probably posting this question in the wrong place - but I was wondering if there is already a message thread discussing the Economic systems that Goblin Works will be implementing in the MMO?

Unfortunately, we were greatly disappointed with the Banquet. We had purchased tickets with the understanding that this was to be a dinner with a Paizo employee or special guest at our table. We were really looking forward to asking some questions about Paizo products, and hopefully hearing some more great stories.

However, we did not have an employee or a special guest at our table. A volunteer GM sat with us for about 10 minutes at the beginning of the banquet, but he spent the entire time talking to the one player he already knew. Once he left we did not receive any other visitors.

Would being able to sit with a Paizo contributor or third-party publisher have been a better option than the volunteer GM? I know many of us fitting that bill would have enjoyed interacting with the attendees.

We had been eagerly anticipating a Paizo employee or affiliated third-party member, but would have been satisfied with our volunteer DM if they had stayed and talked with everyone for the course of the event. Our biggest disappointment was being left with absolutely no table guest for all but a very brief time at the beginning.

This was my first year attending PaizoCon. I found all of the lectures absolutely wonderful; interesting, informative, and entertaining. My friends and I especially enjoyed the one with the former TSR employee's who told us interesting stories about days long ago.

This was not what the banquet advertisement had sold us on, and we were left feeling disappointed and sort of robbed. It would have been nice if Paizo had come through on this, since it was really the only reason we went to the banquet in the first place.

Overall, the convention really was fun. We chatted with a lot of players, debated some rules theory with a DM, and bought some great new additions for our Pathfinder library. Unfortunately, we are not sure if we will bother buying tickets to the banquet next year since we don't really trust Paizo to uphold their end of the arrangement anymore.
