I may have gotten my hands on Expanded Nerrative, and would be willing to trade it for a goblin boon. :)
If need be, I can sweeten the deal with the PaizoCon '15 GM Boon, Custom Order, and Xenophile boons.
After looking as to how many people are looking for the Goblin boon, I'll change what I want.
Want: Race Boons (Preferably Sylph or Aaisimar/Tiefling)
Have: Expanded Nerrative

You do not currently need a boon to play a Kitsune.

I have 5 kitsune characters. I'm aware. :-)
I want kitsune boons as "character insurance." They're my favorite race, and if in the future I have a hankering to play another kitsune, I want to make sure that any changes to the "Always Available roster" don't prevent me from being able to do what I want.
In a weird way, I want a few kitsune boons on the side so I don't have to worry about playing other races in the meantime. When I get a toy, I don't particularly like the thought of it possibly getting taken away from me. :(
EDIT: As a side note, there's no evidence that the current racial availability might change. I'm just ridiculously paranoid is all.

I am sure you know, but an even easier way to do this would be starting several new Kitsune PCs and leaving them below 3 XP. You can pretty much rebuild them into anything later. And they always grandfather existing Races in PFS.

Actually, I would consider trading some paper that I don't need for a piece of paper that would give me some insurance easier than spending 4 to 8 hours of gameplay doing what is effectively the same thing.
The tricky thing for me and my paranoid brain is that when the racial availability list is updated, there's no assurance that its going to work the same as it did for aasimar and tieflings, since that system was heavily abused. Considering that anyone who built their character pre-availability list could claim, "Hey, kitsune were available when I made the character, RETROACTIVE RACE CHANGE!" I wouldn't be surprised if the requirement was increased to 2nd level next time around, as it has been for stuff like the Unchained Summoner, which means I could be wasting my time putting a single XP on a bunch of characters. There's no guarantee, no unspoken rule that things will stay the same as they had been when aasimar and tieflings were removed.
No, much better to have undeniable insurance in the form of a boon.

Picked up some new ones at Paizocon, just now got around to looking through them!
Have:
-Custom Order
-Adopted Weapon Training
-Xenophile
-Translator (gives you a follower that can translate three languages of your choice for you)
-PaizoCon 2015 GM Boon (lets you choose a trait out of the Giantslayer Players' Guide... would be a good one for a melee combatant that wants to use a weapon too big for him, since one of them lets you halve the penalties of using a weapon too big for your size). It also includes a free deck upgrade for an Adventure Card Guild character.
Want:
-On-the-job Training
-Research Specialist
-Affliction Immunity
-Ratfolk, Grippli, Suli or Vishkanya race boons (unlikely, I know)
-Other interesting offers

Hey Tyler, I've got an old Affliction Immunity from PaizoCon 2012 I'd swap for the PaizoCon 2015 boon. PM me and we can sort out details.

A question for the experienced boon traders on this thread: once a trade is agreed to, how is the exchange typically executed? Does the paper copy of the boon need to be mailed? Can I just scan and email it? The latter approach is how boons are distributed during PbP Gameday, so there's a precedent, but it might raise concerns about multiple copies of boons floating about.
So, what are the mechanics of executing a trade arranged in this thread?

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

There was a post sometime back by Mr Brock authorising trade of boons via annotated scans, which made sense for the precise reason you described.
In my case, I always also keep a copy of the correspondences proving the trade so that if there's every any dispute about two of the same boons showing up and who's the one who legitimately owns it, I'm well-covered.
Also allows me to trade with people on the opposite side of the globe. =)

While this probably doesn't apply to you, you should note that while most boons can be traded via scans, there are a few that can't. If you have, or want, one of the few really rare boons that has a raised seal, those HAVE to be physically traded.
Oops. Yeah this. Forgot to mention it since it didn't apply to me (and in fact only applies to a VERY small handful to people).

Also, it's a common courtesy to state up front what you have to trade.
Some people are fine accepting marked up photocopies of scanned boons assigned to 2 or more previous PFS ID numbers and traded umpteen times.
And other people only want unmarked originals.
Don't automatically assume that just because what you have is technically legal, that someone else feels comfortable using it.

Wait my Sylph boon has that raised seal. Sylph isn't that rare is it?
Sylphs aren't. Where did you get it, and are you sure it's the official raised seal, with the glyph of the open road as described by Mike Brock?
For auction boons, the goblin boons, etc... I have used silver or gold metallic ink, as well as a one of a kind raised seal (similar to a notary seal) with the symbol of the open road. Any of those Chronicles should also have a sentence at the bottom that advises, "This boon is only legal if it contains a raised seal". Generally the bottom of each special boon has three stamps on them. Just out of curiosity, Have you seen any boons that made you suspicious?
