Or Paizo can Donate the boons to the Charity Auction that happens Saturday Evening and advertise what boons are being offered near HQ or the Token exchange. I dislike the idea of participation boons for an auction. The driving force is the rarity or value of the item. Like gold foiled signed Star Finder and Pathfinder Core Rule Books. The one donated (Pathfinder) to the Charity a few years back did not make as much as the one offered up in the ballroom. If Paizo had stated that other books or even products had been donated to the Saturday Charity Auction in addition to the Boon and Books they had done that year. Those books would have gone for a lot more. I have attended the Saturday Auction every Gen Con for the last 12 Years. Those who donate end up having increased traffic to their booths just on curiosity and a thank you from those who attended. The Guy who won the Mummy"s Card Game also bought Shackles Sunday. Plus on word from Frank Mentz got one of his iconic character cards signed by Reynolds. It's the little things that make a lasting impact for the Charity Auction and bring people back. Same can be said for Paizo. I would like to see not just boons, but more personalized stuff from Paizo Staff. A painted mini from Eric Mona. A Pathfinder Character made by John Compton. Have Lisa Stevens Beat Box for your Bard's Inspire Couage and recorded for a sound board or cell phone . No matter what you Ladies and Gentlmen decide to do. Please participate in the auction.
If your area has a local lodge shirt then you can have a reroll. In Florida we have a Florida PFS Lodge Shirt. Counts as a Reroll. So for that friend who had a local shirt, if his lodge allowed it then yes it counted FOR that area and may count beyond that if they have the Coordinators Permission. At our game days we allow one re-roll if you make a purchase over $5.00. Must have a receipt. Its a local thing we do to promote goodwill with the shops we run at since they do not charge us for the table. In some areas they do. Down here in Jax we are lucky they do not. In the PFS Guide their is a list of what gives a reroll.
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the lodge
The faction Leaders were nestled all snug in their beds,
When out in the court yard there a rose such a clatter,
Showed him the growing horde far down below
With Crimson eyes, so lively and quick,
More rapid than eagles his undead minions flew,
As quick as only the undead could fly
And then jumped from the sleigh in a spinning dive,
As I drew my blade and my friend her Bow,
He was dressed all in Armor, covered in spikes
After we dove for cover our wizard made a plan
He was quick deadly, and resistant to fire
To our surprise he withdrew to his sleigh,

I was wondering how come the top 8 who did not win are not allowed to ever participate again? These are people who have a passion for pathfinder and some great ideas, but I have heard little from them since they are no longer allowed to submit ideas. I know that On the PFS side of things we have many who have submitted stuff for scenarios and John receives proposals in droves, but this rule I believe limits the talent every year in a very negative way. It's great if you got in the top 4, but heck I'm sure it's a downer if you are in the top 6 and knowing two of you never get a shot at this again.........ever. I would like to know why they cannot re-enter the following year. This rule makes no sense to me. I have never even made it into the top 32, but it sucks to think if I made it into the top 8 or 6 that's it. I'm out forever more. -James

In what way did the campaign need to be turned around? New things are being tried. More changes have come about because of the great feedback from the members in this Living Campaign than any other. PFS has given more back to its community than any other hands down and things are still moving forward with all kinds of story lines and new places to adventure. John and Mike do not need to turn things around. They need to keep going forward and do what they do. Be innovative explore and report.

Anybody who has gmed over 60 games im pretty sure has gmed the same scenario more then once. Seems highly unlikely that they have just run 6o or more separate scenarios. (as an example) The players are already getting a good experience by having an experienced GM sit down and run at 2+ Stars (Not a slam on people just starting out GMing or someone who has just sat down to GM a PFS Scenario and have years of time behind the screen) The Stars are nice reward for those GMs stepping up to run. It should be their choice on how to apply the star. (At 60 its not like IM NOT GOING TO GM lol I already love GMing otherwise I would not being doing something I dislike 60 times) If I had a choice to sit and play a fun scenario or get credit for rerunning another scenario I would like to sit with my friends and Play the fun scenario GETTING another credit OR not. Its a game and its suppose to be enjoyed. Unless the GM/Player sitting down is ruining the fun then that's up the GM running the table to ask the person to leave or remind him that he is ruining it for the others including the person running it.
