Season 6 Boon #4: Expanded Narrative

[Alexander Nudd]

I have some question about how this boon is suppose to work.

Question 1: If I recharge replays do they expire at the end of the season I applied the boon in? Therefore if I recharge all 4 of my replays now, do I need to use them by Gencon?

Question 2: Can I fill the boon up but apply it next season? Therefore the games I GM'ed were in Season 6 but I'll be using the replays in season 7?

Question 3: I have 2 of these. If I use one now, and another after Gencon and obtain my 5th star at some point could I in theory replay 11 games next year. 5 for each boon and 1 for my current remaining star? (I probably won't do this, just trying to understand how this thing works.)

From reading the boon I think the replays earned are permanent and can be pooled, but I can only earn 5 replays per year per boon (Max 1 boon application per year.) Just making sure that is correct.

Everything refreshes at GenCon.

I have 4 stars, used 4 replays, and filled up that boon to refresh all 4 in the hopes that I could re-GM Eyes of the Ten. Realizing that wasn't going to happen before GenCon I've started using those refreshed stars again since they'll be "lost" when the new Season starts.

You're usually pretty knowledge Nefreet, have you seen any "official" posting to that regard. Virtually every other person I talk to about this has a differing opinion, and just trying to clarify. I'll take a consensus though if other people want to chime in :)

This was the conversation I just had at a recent Convention with some other 4- and 5-star GMs, because I wanted to confirm it as well. I'll see if I can find any threads on the matter in the morning.

[Alexander Nudd]

Alright, thanks man. I just found one, and it didn't really shed much light. I've had this conversation quite a few times, with dozens of people that this applies to and no one seems to be really sure.

Can't sleep.

HERE is John Compton's most recent post on the matter. He references the interview he did on Know Direction back in June of 2014. The answer may be in there.

I may be an insomniac, but I don't think I have an hour and a half to watch the whole interview =/

Hopefully he'll just post here to clear everything up?

I think that is the one where he made fun of me, maybe I'll go rewatch it and see but I don't recall any specifics in that podcast except for the boon maybe existing. (Not by name, but he was making fun of someone for playing to much PFS and I compared the numbers and it was spot on. I take pride in this if you are reading John. Never can play to much PFS!)
