I got my third GM-star! *spoilers*

[Branding Opportunity]

Woohoo! After three years of running PFS (first in NYC, now in PDX) I've finally managed to finagle my third GM-star. If you'll indulge me, I'd like to take a look back, and get a bit nostalgic.

Here are some of my highlights:

Running Silent Tide as my first game back in the summer of 2008, where I met both baron arem heshvaun and yoda8myhead.

Meeting all the great folks at the Neutral Nights meetup in NYC, proving that if you have the will, you can play PFS ANYWHERE, including in sweltering delis, around midnight in front of FAO Schwarz, and in public greenspaces.

Not managing to kill everyone in Dralkard Manor.

Almost killing my first level 7+ PC on the deck of the King Xeros.

A clever PC talking his way out of a combat encounter with a powerful xorn at the Eternal Obilisk (boy, was he glad he took Terran!)

The combat that would not end while tracking down the sorcerer at the end of "Our Lady of Silver".

Running eight slots at GenCon 2009 and experiencing my first PFS-GM burnout.

Continuing my table of the GenCon 2009 PFS Special on the lawn across from the convention center when the fire alarm went off.

Starting my own PFS group in Portland when I moved here in August 2010.

Getting to run my conversion of Mists of Mwangi and my first adventure (Dalsine Affair).

Finally taking part in my first ever PFS game as a player at PaizoCon 2011 (with Feral judging) and naturally ... being killed, by a harpy no less!

All in all, it's been a great three years. I honestly have to credit PFS for getting me back into actually playing D&D/Pathfinder again after years of only reading books. Thanks to everyone who's played with me, you've given me some wonderful memories.

Thank you, everybody. Sometimes you just have to toot your own horn (in a completely platonic way, of course).

Congratulations whenever a gm gets any star, that is an acomplishment for PFS as a whole.

Thanks for all your hard work. As well as the descriptive review of the highlights.

Congrats!

I for one enjoyed every game you ran for me! Even though you one shotted PCs in more than 60% of those. ;-)

Still glad those weren't my characters!

When you are accustomed to the new duties you'll get as a dad and you decide to run another PbP just send me an email!

Hey, I've probably met you once or twice in NY. Congrats on the third star!

Good job and congrats! The world needs more "stellar" GM's, and from the tales you show, you seem to be headed up in the world! Congrats again!
