In my opinion, definitely do not allow evil into society play. As a player of two classes with more evil potential than almost any other, the Assassin and the Red Mantis Assassin (both PFS legal via Gencon auction boons)I have had this discussion many, many times in the past years. I frequently ask other players how they would play these classes and usually shudder at the responses and am glad these classes are not in open play. I stopped being surprised long ago when the most lawful, respectful, honor-bound character at the table is the Assassin. Also, I do not believe evil deities should be allowed either. Through my observations GMing over 400 tables, Usually the followers of evil deities, especially Asmodeus, act frequently more evil than merely lawful, chaotic or neutral and justify their actions with the corresponding 'that is what my character would do - don't blame me'. My personal observation is that anything open to abuse......will be abused.

Tineke (Woran),
I would be glad to sit in on your table as a VC. I believe the Paizocon VC dinner will be around 6-7pm based on the past few I have attended. If you are about to be a new VC or representing Auke, You should be able to attend. We may be able to start earlier, then take a break for the VC dinner, and complete the game after the Dinner. We did the same thing a few years ago at Gencon for a 5-star/VC table. My plane arrives around one pm.
As an aside, I believe we have played together in the Netherlands in the past. I was one of the certifying VOs for Auke's 5-Star game (where we had 2 future RVC's, Auke and Dave Harrison), at another game run by Vincent (Serimpunk)I played my PFS Red Mantis Assassin.

I have to agree. Best Marshaling yet, especially in allowing seating and marshaling inside the room rather than the cluster in the hall.
Kudos for the marshals for doing a great job.
My table also had a problem with an unprepared GM for the interactive at level 10-11. Waiting around while a GM reads under limited play time is very unfulfilling. Getting less the one round of action for the final battle was unsatisfying.
The one AM finish with 8AM start plus commute each way lead to very short nights. If the same schedule is used next year, I will have to leave an open evening or morning slot to clear the fatigued/exhausted condition.
My only personal minor issue was that I had Maelstrom's Rift thoroughly prepared with printed color maps and all support materials, when I was pulled at the last minute to run wounded wisp. The evergreen went great, having run it about a dozen times, but would really have preferred running the scenario I had spent so much time preparing. I found out the next day that many GMs would have traded.
Overall, the convention was great and the hard work of all involved was very much appreciated.

Some information seems to be missing.
No mention is made about Cassian's actions on arrival. I assumed
For the gourd garden encounter treasure.
In combat tactics for the BBEG final battle at low tier
Besides these minor points, I liked the scenario and look forward to running it at a convention this weekend.

We are also having great success with core in SW Wisconsin and Eastern Iowa in our college town weekly games days. The new players appreciate being able to play on an equal footing with the other players without having to buy numerous books. They all have had to embrace the coordinate and teamwork aspects of Pathfinder and many have played through most of season 6 and 7, including the higher level scenarios, and have done very well. Many of the core players are also willing to DM, especially the season 7 scenarios since all the monster stats are part of the scenario. We are starting to get some good migration into PFS RPG as players but the newer Core GMs are still hesitant to GM RPG because of the many complicated player abilities.
We are also seeing participation by older, experienced RPG players who appreciate the challenges of playing core and the ability to replay every scenario.
