One of the charming things that I've seen other companies do for tournament leagues is provide badges for participation in them, or other small trinkets. For example, the little patches for War Machine or the odd figures for competing in a league in Hero Clix. These are rewards for regularly playing and participating actively in the community.
And, in my opinion, completing an Adventure Path is a much larger achievement than playing through 6 weeks of a game league. I'd love to be able to give my players (and myself for GMing the darn thing for over a year) a little token or badge or something to honor that achievement!
Now I could make them myself, and will, but I think it would be neat if Paizo had these available for us to get officially.
Now I'm not saying they should be free or anything, but something the GM could buy for a hopefully small cost to give to their players when they finished the AP.
It wouldn't have to be badges, it could but pins like the ones you give away at GenCon, etc... Or just any other cool trinket that you think could work. And I think it would be neat if it said something like:
Rise of the Runelords: Survivor
Alternatively, you could release a set for PCs that DIED in the APs, too. :)
An "I survived _________" pin with a neat background would be awesome to have.
Though I may steal my buddies button making kit and make my own.
"I prevented the Second Darkness and all I got was this lousy badge."
That's just a riff on "My parents went to ____ and all I got was this lousy t-shirt." I think the badge idea has...merit. :)
