WARNING: Spoilers ahead!
I'll put the scenario ID in the open but SPOILER tag around the boon. I don't think this is too "spoilish" (to reveal the ID) since many boons (such as evil ones) can be distasteful to many characters and the player could end up playing one of these scenarios and not care for the boon anyway.

I'm thinking about 6-03, The Technic Siege; it's a very sandboxy scenario. Depending on the approach you take, it could go in very different ways, so replay can be truly different. Also, the Chronicle sheet has some interesting items on it that you can't normally get.

I'm looking forward to using my star replay on Traitor's Lodge. My first run through was rather awkward as the player sitting next to me continuously flirted with me the entire session, which made the game extremely uncomfortable and ruined the table. I love the scenario and would like to enjoy it as a player.
|
And here I was thinking that PFS leadership was discouraging shopping around for boons, as evidenced by topics such as this one, with developer's comments highlighting this.
The fact that it's for GM star replay shouldn't matter.
And I "target" my replays for either scenarios where there was a total failure, like Mantis's Prey when I first played it (Replay game was much better, and made more sense to me), or was something I want to do with a real PC, like Ruby Phoenix Tournament, which I played during the grandfathered days, so my PC it was played with was only a possible build (much different, now), not a "real" 11th level PC.

Sitting on my 3rd star (have used my other 2) so I am waiting to play The Waking Rune again, but with a certain option.
The only character death I have had was on a scenario that I am not wasting a star on, even if I get the star boon.
Some ideas to think about when deciding:
- did a character die in a scenario you would like to see completed
- does the chronicle sheet have a boon that best serves another character
- a scenario with possible HARD mode and your group chose normal when you wanted hard.
- you simply had too much fun the 1st time playing the scenario to pass up playing it again.

Way too often (like just about every darn time), I end up in a scenario with a character of the wrong faction to benefit from some boon of that scenario. Either the GM announces this fact once we're underway and everyone chose their characters or I simply don't have the character in tier. Other times, the boon offered is useless to the character I happened to use. I don't see anything wrong with GM's jogging each other's memories as to what was offered and where and to take advantage of the 1 or 2 or 5 replays you might have.

Already have plans to play Eyes of the Ten again... though it will currently take my GenCon Boon 4 to pull it off (however, by the time we do play it, I should have my 4th star!)
I was holding out hope that I could use them to replay scenarios that were offered on a gameday that I could get my wife out to play in. However, she's said that would never happen (her playing PFS).

Don't give up hope. After years of my wife saying she would never play RPGs, she finally tried a PFS session and loves it. Miracles can happen!

Well, we can only hope!
As far as it goes, I am going to use one replay for Paths We Choose, to replay with a PbP group that we've had going for several months (and has been one of the best gaming groups I have been with). They haven't played it, so rather than sitting out (since one player has also played it but not GMed)

I am surprised there have been no mentions of "Eyes of the Ten" yet. I have actually spent a star on Bone Keep Level 1. Apparently I am a masochist. [/QU0OTE]
I am going to prob spend a start on bonekeep part two. I was frustrated people tried to take pregens to it. I made them take real characters or I was going to walk, unfortunately I didn't finish it with the right character so it made me sad.

I've got four replays at the moment, so I might save them for if I ever get another chance at running/playing Eyes again.Mine were used for Eyes.
I used my first star on replaying The Disappeared, but I plan on using a boon to be able to rerun Eyes of the Ten again. We have another group coming up on eligibility and I'd love to be a part of that again.

I have two stars, and am probably a couple of months away from three. I'm hoarding them. My highest-level character is 8th level (with a second at 7th), so I haven't played "Eyes of the Ten" yet, but I'm still thinking that, maybe, one day, a year or two from now, I may have four stars, and then I can burn my replay on a second "Eyes of the Ten".
(I know, putting the cart before the horse, but, whatever. I will use all of my stars on a replay, not a re-GM-for-credit. I love that I can re-GM scenarios for free-- no credit, other than counting number of tables, but it's still fun!)
