As it says above, could consideration be given to making the Scoured Stars invasion multi-table repeatable in the same way that 2.00 the Fate of the Scoured God is repeatable.
There was so much great content that you could easily play through a completely different path the second play through, and now people have higher level characters to make use of it.
Pretty please...

Can't say I disagree. It would be more difficult since there is not variables in the encounters.
What I would really like is for those GMs who ran 1-00 at GenCon when Starfinder was released be allowed to count it as a special. Pulling it out from under us after saying it would count was a little bit of a gut shot.

Not sure if I'd count 1-00 as a special in general, because it's not especially special now - run a game with regular pregens, ho-hum. But I can support counting it as a special for people who ran it at launch, because back then it was a challenge to deliver a good first experience with a system you barely had a chance to learn.

Which is my point made better than I could! Thank you!

If this were made repeatable, I would be able to do one more run of 1-99 locally, which would be awesome. I'm also eagerly awaiting the release of 1-98 to 4 nova people!
Counting the special I am in right now, I have 6 specials including 1-99 and 2-00. It would be nice to get another run out of 1-99 locally, and allow some of the new people to play it.
Hmm

It wasn't especially special then either - but if we go with the old Pathfinder specials they were special at the time. When 1-00 came out it was really the early days of SFS and the big game in town.
The annoying part is I thought they did a bait and switch - it looked and sounded like a special - until it wasnt. So it just meant people daisychained 1-99 for 10 sessions instead.

Anyhow 1-99 would make a good repeatable and has the right mechanics that would allow for it.

I do like Lau's point here. I remember running 1-00 that first weekend, and the FRANTIC prep that I had leading up to it, trying to figure EVERYTHING out. I had signed up to do a special, and felt that I delivered a great one to my table. I do wish that the very first month of it could be counted.
Still, it would be enough for me if 1-99 was made repeatable along the same lines as 2-00. It's such a diverse special, and no one gets through it all.
Hmm

Well some of the PFS1 exclusives weren't really that special, agreed. Looking at you, Ciphermage Dilemma. But I think some of them definitely were special; Serpents Rise and Serpents' Ire certainly require some serious prep to pull off well for example. Those I'd definitely rate as proper single-table specials.

Although I got to play 1-99, my experience was marred by inexperienced GMs who were unfamiliar with the system, and an overseer who decided to modify the timer on the special for the sake of fitting into a very restrained time slot at the event. All in all my experience for that was not very pleasant, and I didn't get to absorb much, if any of the story. I played it in the highest tier available at the time, 8-10 I believe, and getting the opportunity to play it again at different tiers, hopefully better run this time, would be welcome.

Paizo may not, but the Organised Play Foundation has many volunteers all over the world. As an international organisation, there should be some consideration to their requests for things that may help their communities. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for 1.99 to be replayable.
I have my reasons for wanting it, but that does not mean that others may not want it for different reasons....maybe you would like to test how a Multi works over VTT before Gencon, as it may be a while until you and your fellow countrypersons can group around a table.

I'm not against making 1-99 replayable (I endorsed it in my first post). Or against doing it online (I've already played in one over PbP).
I think we're talking about two different things here. Sorry for the tangent. Carry on.

You all do realize it is endlessly repeatable in the 1-2 tier?
Just use a certain boon received for playing the scenario and choose a faction with a certain first seeker. Boom you have a character that can play the special again. Wash rinse repeat.
I am being a little obtuse as to not spoil the boon received in the Special for those who haven't played it or haven't heard about it.
While I am not opposed to allowing it to be repeatable on the tiering system like the other ones it does allow you to repeat it without using a character's very limited resource. IE the 1 of 4 replays that SS(Jadnura) faction members can get.

Depending on Jadnura is not how to get multiple runs of the special. I've found that people reserve Jadnura replays for their most favorite scenarios. As an organizer, you need to get not just one table worth of players but THREE, and make sure that all the players on a table are reasonably close in level with one another.
Trust me as someone who has tried to organize other runs of 1-99. It's tough to get 18 players together anywhere but online -- and even there it is tough.
Making this repeatable will allow us another local run in Minnesota, and I'm sure that is true of other places too.
Hmm

Hmm
Based on my understanding, the minimum number of people needed to run 1-99 would be 13
1 overseer
3 GMs
9 players.
That said, also based on my understanding, you could recruit some peeps to play for no credit to complete tables.
