Jon Lamkin, our local game day coordinator for The Source Comics and Games has been a huge foundation of our local Pathfinder Society community for over 3 years now. He has been running between 4 and 6 tables for the better part of 2 years every Sunday.
He has both grown as a coordinator and a GM over these 3 years, and I had the great honor to sit at his table and both play and observe his GM style. It's been some 2 years since the last time I sat at Jon's table, and he really did show me an enjoyable time.
My wife has been playing for almost 3 years now, some 150 play sessions, and still says that his running of "We Be Goblins" in February 2012 was her favorite play session ever.
Please join me in congratulating Jon Lamkin on achieving his 5th Star! Customer Service should be along shortly to award him that star officially.
Now for some Anecdotes:
"Jon brings the NPCs to life with fun personalities. He knows the rules like the back of his hands and he takes it with good grace when the players OWN ALL OVER HIS MONSTERS LIKE THEY ARE LITTLE GILRS!! HAHA 207 damage on yoru zombie mammoth, one shot baby!"
"Where Mammoths Dare Not Tread: Jon had bought two new mammoth minis for the scenario. He places both on the table with a smile. Both are wipped out in one round. "You guys suck." Laughter ensues."
"Jon works hard to organize tables for The Source. He tries hard to accommodate new players who pop up and find seats for everyone."
"I think Jon deserves his stars because he's always on time, friendly, and prepared."
"While I've never played at Jon's table, I've heard several recounts of his tables. He is always great & gracious with the "thank you's.""
"He only GM'd for me once for "We Be Goblins" but he made it fun! We almost died but he did get us all to stand up and sing our goblin songs."
"Goblins one... so cool!!!!"
"I have only recently started playing at The Source. However, I have really appreciated the organization and planning that is put into games here. Jon has been very helpful when I have had questions. Jon was also great with helping me GM for the first time."
"He is very ready to deal with new players and to role with things people try in game."
"Jon killed my first character once, but was VERY nice about the situation. Not once did he rub it in my face... that night."
"Jon has fostered a large influx of players and fun into Minneapolis Pathfinder Society. At The Source, he manages to fill several tables and dozens of players weekly, somehow managing to keep everyone happy & finding a table. Lots of folks have been introduced to Pathfinder through his events."
"Jon deserves his 5th star because he is always there helping organize play. He not only gives his time, he gives financially. He is a very good guy. This being said, the very first time he was my GM he killed my character."
"Jon does an excellent job coordinating at The Source. He is the go to guy and makes everyone feel welcome. He is the perfect guy for the new players to be introduced to."
Please share any further anecdotes you may have!
Congratulations Jon! It is well deserved!

Congratulations, Jon. I've always found you to be a fun and fair GM. Your work as an organizer has been a boon to our community. Hope you keep it up for a long time!
(Oh, and I was also at that table of We Be Goblins Andy's wife talked about. We certainly drew a LOT of attention our antics, and our singing!)
Thanks, Jon!
