I think, especially for PFS, carry weight should be very important. I like to make sure my character is as well equiped as I can be for my carry capacity. Also, why would someone spend a PP for a porter if they don't have to worry about anyone checking their carry weight.

coin weight is the only exception to this rule. I enforce equipment weight and encumbrance and it is done so at every table i have played at as well.

and again the reason coin weight slips by is the abundant ways to get around it from Abadarian banks to promissory notes to converting it all to platinum and only keeping spending cash on you. leaving the rest at home or in a locker at the local lodge.

PFS is not about anything but having a blast! reward better play? nah, reward having fun! every player has fun in a different way. My room mate is quiet and introverted, does not interact often in character, and often forgets to do any of his special abilities on his character. He would never be counted a good player in anyone's book. However he has a blast and enjoys PFS scenarios and playing with new people. reward the ones that enjoy it.

PFS is about bringing in new people to rp! not about who has the biggest brightest shiny (insert references here)! when the table walks away laughing about how the barbarian fell on his hind end and then delivered the killing blow on the Kobold laughing at him. That is all the reward i need to give as a GM! because it will bring the new players back and keep the vets full of new war stories to tell over lunch!

now i do like boons they add flavor to characters. (ask me about super monk in sewer dragons when we meet) but really they are not anything to fight over getting or how to give them out. swag on the other hand... I like the idea earlier of giving some low end swag along with the PFS number to new players. I think i will look into carrying a bunch of the wiz kids mini's for this purpose. new players always need a mini!
