Is there a list somewhere of boons and what they do? I don't exactly know what I want without knowing what's out there. ;)
Here is a list of the boons and what they do, for your perusal.
Minus a few season seven boons.
Have: GM Reward for Summer 2015 (play an Undine, or gain Paragon of the Society, or use for Elemental Dilettante with the other three to play a Janni)
2x Treasure Map
Technophobe
Xenophile
Want: Character Rebuild (My fighter got screwed over big time by the slashing grace errata and JUST retraining Slashing Grace won't fix it.)
Share the Wealth (Companions) (I really like Tanbaru and I want to use him.)

I am trying to get a boon that will allow me to play a changeling. I have available the following:
* Ifrit
* A set of all four elemental genie-touched races eligible to make a Suli (not including previously mentioned ifrit)
* Aasimar
* After mid-Jan, I should have a tiefling boon/Child of Chaos that will allow you to combine with an aaasimar to make a Ganzi
For non-race boons, I have:
* Psychic Awakening (using an item each scenario will allow you a discount on an upgrade)
* Ley Line Scholar (allows you to tap into a ley line)
* Magaambyian Dilettante (allows you to cast a spell off of a wizard/druid spell list - I can give you full text is you're interested)

Let me remind everyone that selling boons is not the intent of the boon system, especially in regards to potentially valuable ones like the GenCon or PaizoCon boons. These are supposed to be rewards (a thank you) for volunteering your time to help us provide a fun, exciting event. If you want to trade a boon for another boon between players, that is certainly acceptable. Also, if you want to give them away to your local players/GMs as a reward, thus transferring the intent of the boon, please do so. We certainly encourage that type of altruism. However, if you are simply selling the boons for financial gain, you are disrespecting the intent of the program and make the leadership reconsider if it is having the value we intend it for. It has been said in the past, technically you own the boon and cannot stop you from transfering it any way you wish, but if the system is abused it will just stop. Please don't risk the entire boon program by making poor choices.
An important note. Boons ARE NOT eligible to be photocopied and distributed in mass. When you receive a boon, especially a limited edition boon like GenCon or PaizoCon boons, you are not empowered to duplicate them and certainly not so you can sell them repeatedly. Under special circumstances, the organizer of an event can photocopy the boon if they under-prepared for the demand or for other reasonable causes, but that is the power granted the event organizer and does not extend to the players/GMs in attendance.
If you are a player trying to acquire a boon, be cautious. If you suspect the boon you received has been photocopied or altered in anyway, please notify your local Venture-Officer. The boon reward program has always operated on a system of trust. If reports of abuse continue to rise, more stringent requirements may have to be implemented (enter the name/PFS# for the recipient making them non-transferable) or the program eliminated entirely. No one wants that.
Explore! Report! Cooperate!

Perhaps, but it doesn't change the underlying issue. A player can only be tempted to buy a boon if someone is selling it. And if that isn't bad enough, reports that people are photocopying boons is despicable and might border on illegal. I don't claim to know the copyright laws, but casual conversation with lawyers I know seems to indicate there is possibly a case (civil, maybe criminal) against someone who would be photocopying what is essentially intellectual property material and selling it for profit. Its really no different than printing multiple copies of your pdf files and selling them. Sounds a lot like video pirating.
Clearly, this is not how the boon reward program is intended to operate. All we ask is that you respect the program for what it was designed for and not exploit it like some rules-lawyery game mechanic with an ambiguous loophole.

Unfortunately yes, I have recently been notified of a number of "questionable" occurrences. Investigations are still on-going but at least some reports seem to be legitimate problems.
This is merely a reminder of the intent of the program and a simple request that everyone participate appropriately.

Confession time/Uplifting story time:
Over last fall I was flailing about trying to get the last 'piece' for a Suli packet, and I offered to buy Paizo gift certificates, give up the remaining mini I'd gotten at GenCon for purchasing Paizo products, and other means along those lines, including clearing out my entire stockpile of one-off boons I'd been picking up at conventions.
Someone on the forums was very cool and I was very lucky to have been helped out by them, and when I offered any of the above I was given the request to give unto others.
So when I judged my first PFS scenario (A Confirmation run) in November, each of my players got one of my Boons, clearing out my stockpile. Built community, and was something cool to remember my first GM 'go' in PFS play.
As far as illegally photocopying and/or reproducing boons?
I'd be physically ill if I got one but was told it was 'the original'.
Just eyeballing it from here, but wouldn't that sort of thing be considered 'Being a Jerk'? The illegal reproduction thing?

THIS!!! is exactly what we want to hear. Cooperation and altruism amongst the community. Awesome
anyone have the boon that gives you a extra trait i could really use one for a concept i have

Have, openly willing to trade:
Psychic Dilettante(free psychic skill unlock, but I don't have Occult)
Factor(any 1-5 on a Day Job counts as a 10)
Technophobe(bonus vs robots, penalty to using Numerian tech)
Have, willing to trade for something REALLY COOL:
Sylph/Paragon of the Society/Elemental Dilettante
Undine/Paragon of the Society/Elemental Dilettante
Want:
I'm open for anything on the first three, the Sylph and Undine(especially the Sylph) would require something like a GenCon GM boon, particularly the one with the Changeling. (I got the Tiefling I was looking for earlier already- and all I had to do was put up with six goblins!)

Anyone still have a Spirit of the Shadowlodge boon?
In our Eot10 PbP, after my Shadowlodge Barbarian left a subtle hint to the Decemverate that we were still watching, another character had an in character RP moment explaining the core tenants of the Shoadowlodge to a character that joined the society post disbandment. It was a very long, thought out, and awesome post.
I would like to in game invite said character to come to our secret Shadowlodge meetings and make it official by giving him said boon.

Have:
surplus Agents of Evil
surplus Bestiary 5
Both in good condition.
surplus Year of the Ruby Phoenix wooden tokens
They've taken on some of the black dye or something from my fanny pack, but otherwise in fine condition.
May have other surplus books hiding somewhere around here.
Want:
Race Boons (particularly Android, Tiefling, and/or Dhampir, but interested in others as well)
Prosperity
Spirit of the Shadow Lodge
anything else that sounds cool, like occult or high-tech goofiness, or exclusive feat/Prestige class access
Please note: In-person Pathfinder Society is moribund where I live, and has been for a few years; my only source of actual Boons at present is online events like GameDay, so I am substantially hampered in my ability to receive Boons.

I'm changing up my looking for list a tiny bit.

I'm totally willing to trade everything I've got for the changeling boon. The GenCon boon would go to a friend who really wants to be a gripli.

It is heavily frowned upon to sell these boons. I provide them as a way to boost support to a con. At this time, there isn't much I can do about it. If it becomes a rampant problem, then we will reevaluate. This is similar to someone who wins a autographed book at a con and then puts it up for auction. Once it is in the person's possession, it is their property to do with as they wish. But, selling free boons doesn't sit well with me.
So i searched the forums and found this from long ago...
is it ok if we have a boon and we would like to trade it for a small amount of paizo store credit ?
I have a Gen Con boon that i am not going to use. can i trade it for a small amount of credit and purchase a scenario ?

Some people think that is is okay.
I find it distasteful.

So, I have an Ifirt boon that I am looking to give away. Yes, you heard me right, give away. I have an ifrit I've already played, so this one is just sitting around.
Now, I do have a few conditions (mostly honor system but please don't ruin this?)
*Not already have a race boon-restricted character
*Tell me about your absolute favorite PFS experience
*Agree to GM at least one game for your local group if you haven't already tried out GMing (and, heck, I'll even send you a gift copy of a scenario of your choice and coach you through prepping if you want!)
Please let me know if you're interested. As a note, I only send boons via snail mail, so you'll need to be okay with sending me your address. I'll send it to the first person to reach out to me.

Da..Darn you impressed me Rigby. I had about given up on the boards this week - mostly they have been a real downer on negative threads.
You know what? I think I can come up with another boon for you to do the same thing with, if you get a runner up on your offer. Let me check this evening and I'll PM you on what kind of a Race boon I have stuck away in my folder (maybe another elemental blooded one?). Then I can arrange to send it to you to give to your runner up.
Well, it's literally just been sitting in my binder for ages and I have the ability to attend at least 3 Cons a year as a GM, so why not spread it around?
I do have a taker for the ifrit but I'll pass on any names to nosig.
I also have a bunch of PC boons that can find a new home for a good story (Magaambyan Dilettante, Ley Line Scholar, Psychic Awakening, Niche Specialist) as they don't fit any of the characters I have / have planned. Psychic Awakening is fun because you get to talk about how glorious your weapon/armor/other magic item is to imbue it with psychic power - would be pretty flavorful on a Taldan noble sort of PC.

Yeah, I should probably give away some of my spare boons. I don't have anything as interesting as a race boon, though. Well, not a useful race boon - I do have a spare kitsune boon.
We're active enough around here that I could always donate them to try and encourage new people to step up and GM. I've actually done that before. I remember giving away a wayang boon, roughly 3 years ago, before they were a race that anyone could play.

I was thinking of giving away my next race boon. I have a complete suli, a sylph and over 14 other characters so nothing really excites me on that front. I'm pretty sure it'll be a tiefling anyway and I've got one of those too. Could have built a ganzi, but there's next to no info about them so boo.
