I played Murder's Mark, Have What you Hold, Siege of the Diamond City, Elven Entanglement and Bonekeep Level 2. All of them were a lot of fun, even Bonekeep (which I was a little dubious on going in). Although, my 11 year old son was not such a big fan of Bonekeep.
Murder's Mark in particular was great fun, but I suspect a lot of that was due to our GM, who was doing a great job of roleplaying, and giving us red herrings.
The Siege overall was awesome, although the last encounter was a trifle repetitive and frustrating.
All of the GMs we had over the weekend did a fantastic job.
The only permadeaths at any of the tables I played on were the bad guys, although we had a number of close calls. My Cleric of Calistria, who had put Shield Other onto a regular Magus companion on a regular basis, started a number of rounds on single-digit hit points (at level 8). Calareth also managed to stay alive while engaging a Mythic Vrock for something like 5 rounds (although, there was a Barbarian taking his attention for a few of those rounds). I believe at one point we also had two party members 1 or 2 negative levels away from death. However, I did see a count of fatalities on a whiteboard that started on 2 the second day, and had hit something like 12 on the third day. I suspect Bonekeep fed well.
The venue was reasonable - the room downstairs was nice and quiet, although the main room upstairs was bedlam during the Siege. Nice and centrally located, too.
Oh, and there was the video call with Mr Schneider, which was kind of cool. Just don't mention the weapon cords!

This was essentially, my first time playing at a Pathfinder Society (I had played one scenario at GenCon Oz 2010)
I found the event to be really well handled and thoroughly enjoyable and I was surprised at how many people travelled interstate (and country) to take part.
I played Assault on the Kingdom of the Impossible, Mists of Mwangi, Voice in the Void, Siege of the Diamond City, The Elven Entanglement & The Hydra's Fang Incident.
I created a level 1 Paladin of Iomedae to use in all scenarios except The Elven Entanglement. I used pre-gen Amiri for that one. A barbarian with an over-sized weapon might just be the theme of my next character in my home games.
My Paladin seemed to do well dispite the dice (and being outshone by a greataxe wielding half-orc wizard). I'm happy to say no-one died under my care. I have a shopping list of items that I need to get for next time. On the top of that list is potion of Touch of Sea and Air Crystals. I'm not an anchor.
The Siege was incredibly intense. Between the challenges proving to be quite the hindrance and seeing the sections on the board go from yellow to orange to red, it made me feel really under the gun. It was quite fun.
All in all, I look forward to doing this again next year, but I hope I have time to play more PFS before then.
