It took nearly a full year, but I'm getting close to the 4 star mark. Honestly, I set out with the goal of being a 3 star by next PaizoCon because I thought it would look good on record if I volunteered to GM this coming year.
Needless to say, I've shattered my own expectations. Table #98 is today which is being run locally. After that, I've nothing planned. I thought about running a module for the last two credits to 100. I'm kind of looking for something a little on the "epic" side though.
So what did you run for table #100?

Mine was Among the Living, 0-07, in the first slot of GenCon '13...players didn't show up till about 20 after slot time started, but table was a blast. There were a couple of new players and everyone was playing brand new characters (they were all friends traveling together for the con).
I spent the whole weekend running nothing but the Among the X series that year...good times.
I'd choose something you REALLY like to run and get into roleplaying wise if you would like to make it stand out in your mind later on though.

Wow - congratulations Tsriel!
All my star tables have been at PaizoCon, with #4 at PaizoCon 2013 (The Secrets Stones Keep).
I'd definitely suggest running something new (so everyone is as spoiler free as possible), or something really big, like Portal of the Sacred Rune or The Waking Rune.
Or if exceptionally convenient, you could kick off a round of Eyes of the Ten.

I GM'ed my first PFS table at Gencon 2009, and I'm only now closing in on 3 stars. How do you guys do it? :P
By not GMing at conventions only. ~_^
In all honesty, I started with some local friends who were kind enough to humor me although none of them really like PFS much. Then I took the show to the internet to start running games online once I found PFS games locally but really needed to catch up. I'd say that it wasn't until July when I could finally squeeze myself in to run games locally. The conjunction of hosting locally and online really sped up the process.

I'm only twice as fast as you are, and there was a bit of "pushing to make it" for the 3rd and 4th stars. 3 stars since GenCon '09 is running just about one session per month. I've run twice that, but I've only run about that many distinct scenarios.
Tsriel running an average of two per week? Yow!

Heh heh, yeah, that sounds about right. A good chunk of credit is from modules, but there were some weeks where I was running around 3-4 sessions mixed between online and local play.
I love this ruleset, but I'm definitely going to slow way down in the coming months. XD

I am at 98 tables credit right now, as well, and looking at Silverhex Chronicles for #99, if the local scene winds up showing up. Tried this past Saturday, but no one came. Then again, it is the slow season, we haven't, apparently, had any PFS going for a while, so I am not holding high hopes to get the local scene running quickly.Last time this happened, it wasn't until March that PFS started up again.
Ah, well, there is always online...

I had intended for Silent Tide to be my 100th table, but due to needing a GM at the game day the weekend before, it ended up being my 101st. So Black Waters turned out to be my 100th.
Here is my complete list, along with other peoples responses.
Tomb Of Horrors Boxed Set! 3/5 players even survived!!!
I know I'm not a member...but responded in the spirit of Pathfinding.

I did mine about a week ago.
I ran a Beginner Box session -- it's what I started with, so I got the chance to introduce a table of 12-13 year olds to the hobby 100 tables later. :D

Update: Silverhex Chronicles, Nov. 15th: No players
Silverhex Chronicles, Nov. 22nd: 2 players, no legal table, we moved over and played board gamesEmerald Spire: Tower Ruins, Nov. 29th: 7 players, overall success, but one fatality, the Wizard who moved in too close and tried to cast Sleep.
He would have probably survived, despite being at negative 6, but the <redacted> <redacted>, with him in the area of effect, and, even with a reroll, he failed the Reflex save, and took 7 points of damage, knocking him past neg. Con. Collateral damage sucks, and, given the configuration of the encounter, and everyone's placements, I had no way to get him out of the area of effect.

Congrats on your 4th Kinevon.
I hate deaths like that too. Unfortunately, collateral damage kinda goes with the MO of being a Pathfinder, except in situations where you're told to not break something. Even then, it's abit iffy.
I'm running #100 next week for the local group, letting the table give me their suggestions. Its looking like a higher level module for right now. ^_^

By my calculations, this PbP for Murder's Mark will be #99-100. However, I am still waiting on two local games to be reported. One from October (for which the sign-in sheet has been passed around like a collection plate on its journey to whoever is going to record it) and one from last night (which was day 2 of a three-day mini-con, so naturally it may take a bit for that to find its way into the system). That said...
4th star before the end of the year!

Mine was The Beggar's Pearl. It was supposed to be something more epic, but they needed a GM so I decided to give them one. Given that I often sign up to GM at the last minute when people have had trouble finding a GM, it seemed appropriate.
Turned out to be a fun table regardless.
What could be more epic than dungeons, dancing, drugs, dwarves, and terror? I've only run that scenario once...but the story is AWESOME (IMNSHO), and the run through was a blast.
|

My 100th, I think, was The Beacon Below... it would have been Legacy of the Stonelords, but I was the PFS convention coordinator (for Council of Five Nations) and took up the Overseer role instead of running a table. It's always nice hitting a milestone at your own convention...
You do know that the Overseer GM for the multi-table Specials gets reported as GMing a table with no players on it?

I was in fact NOT aware of that... thank you for letting me know. Must go add that to the reporting...

Don't get me wrong; it's a good scenario. I think the other one I was going to GM as my 100th was Assault on the Wound.

Mine was last weekend, when we held a small convention that consisted of only bad scenarios. My #100 table was most presumably Many Fortune of Grandmaster Torch, or a filler Silverhex Chronicles (and only the Mausoleum part of it; had to run it while waiting for one player to show up).
Then again I've ran several quicksteps (First Steps with no roleplaying and minimal describing), so there's still some distance to a proper #100.

I ran Requiem for the Red Raven for my 60th table... now I need to come up with something epic for my 150th (in a year).Bonekeep marathon?
A slight derail, but I did just that (run Bonekeep 1 2 and 3) in the same day at Totalcon recently. THAT was an exhilarating experience. The Bonekeep 2 table will be talked about for years to come at that convention.... *grin*
