Please join me in congratulating Kristen Gipson (my lovely wife) on attaining her fifth GM star!
Kristen epitomizes what a quality GM is. The amount of time she puts in to her prep work is astounding, her knowledge of rules is fantastic, and her ability to recall exactly who played at a table from a single game day half a year ago is uncanny. She is a fantastic GM, player, and organizer. I certainly couldnt do the job I do as a VL without her help.
Congratulations!
Kristen's 150th table ushered in the promotion of 7 new Venture Captains to the Society. The following characters have attained VC status:
Altus Lucrim, Conjurer (Carl Harris)
Gretel Oakenshield, Inquisitor (Amanda Harris)
Aladdin, Magus (Caleb Pennock)
Jaximus, Fighter (Jake Minol)
Mourne, Bard (Joshua Minol)
Petra Iliard, Fighter (Alexandra Mitchell)
Solomon Wiseaxe, Cleric of Torag (Seth Gipson)

Congratulations Kristen. 5 stars is quite a feat considering you have to deal with Seth not only at conventions and gamedays, but at home as well. To overcome that handicap and achieve the success you have is a testament to your dedication and perseverance.
I hear construction of the women's dorm on five-star island is coming along ahead of schedule. The wet bar is being stocked as we speak and the two-way mirrors in the locker room are being removed. Nice try Baird ;-)

Thanks everyone!
@chris-I have had some really fun tables as both a GM and player, however, there is one table that has really stood out from the others. It was when I played Haunting of Hinojai (GM-Chris Mortika). You did such a fantastic job running the table, that I know of at least 2 people who say that it is their most memorable table. I especially enjoyed that you made the focus the house, not about the combats. You described things so well, that we actually imagined ourselves walking through the house. I try to incorporate this type of story telling when I GM, because it was incredible to experience as a player.
@Thursty. It was actually Eyes of then Ten, part 4. Table 151 will be Traitor's Lodge though. ;-)

Congratulations on hitting such a huge milestone Kristen.
While I don't think I've sat at a table you were GM'ing, I know we all had a blast running through the "Eyes of the Ten" arc with you and Seth.
Nothing like going through a retirement arc with our party composition of a Fighter/Cleric (Kristen), Barbarian/Ranger (Seth), Barbarian/Inquisitor (Denni), Paladin (Tim), and Bard/Paladin (Josh).
Here's to hoping your next 150 games are as exciting as your first,
Joshua Hirtz
