WHAT?! 
They won't mail me a check and reimburse me for gas? The outrage!
They are EBIL!!! Ebil greedy corporations... trying to get my precioussssss... {monthly stipend}
Sorry, couldn't resist... of course I'm only kidding; if I weren't gearing-up for an Essentials campaign I would surely look into this.
Consider this then:
They offer special deals for volunteering to run the Society scenarios at GenCon. In the past, if you volunteered for at least two slots, you get a free t-shirt & a gift certificate. And if you volunteered for 8 slots or more, they gave you a t-shirt, store credit, paid for your four day pass, and helped pay your housing.
Generous, generous dudes & dudettes. |

Also, if I remember correctly from earlier this year, you can run a Pathfinder Society Game via pbp and have it count for the living campaign, which is cool for people who can't ever go to events, though I imagine it would take awhile to run through the adventure in pbp. |

Unless they already have - I haven't been a regular over there in about a year, but I recall there were a few things they were doing that appeared to be organizing their fans into 'teams' (similar, in effect, to what happens with miniatures enthusiasts, like Warhammer or Warmachine players).
In any event, the cream always rises to the top - I wish him and them the best.
Oh, they got Pathfinder Society Organized Play. It's currently in Season 2 (Season 0 was with 3.5 OGL before Pathfinder rules were release, so third year) and running strong.
Visit the Pathfinder Society page. From there, you can sign up for an account, download the Pathfinder Society Guide for free, Register your character, Find an event near you, and find information for purchasing scenarios, reporting scenarios, creating events, downloading Pre-gens and guidelines for writing for Pathfinder Society.
Oh, and if you go the Pathfinder RPG Reference Document you can check out all the open-license stuff for free.

Paizo always seems to make the right hires. I've enjoyed both their 3.5 and their Pathfinder adventure paths, and adding Stephen Radney-MacFarland to their already talent heavy team makes me even more confident that the best is yet to come. |

I got this in my mail last night, but couldn't find the post on the site. Congrats, Stephen Radney-MacFarland! |
