Just read the Ghost of Saltmarsh documentation. If you meet Volo, um Aubreck's and befriend him, he is rich enough to pay for one spellcasting service per PLAYER for what looks to be the modules in the book. So no help for those loyal fans who are going to run multiple characters next season.
PS. Again you don't have cash for spell casting services so you get this funny money.

Well, this year probably not. Next year, it'll probably be burdensome to players like me. I don't play enough to get one character to tier 3 in a season -- often not even to tier 2. So come next year, I'll have to hope people near me keep running season 1-8. Otherwise, I'm going to be a perpetual newbie.

To further add to this, per the article, any character can still play in any season's adventures, with the restriction that a pre-season 9 character cannot gain story awards or magic item unlocks from season 9+, and a season 9 character can play in season 1-8 content, but again cannot earn story awards or magic item unlocks. Treasure checkpoints, advancement checkpoints, renown, and downtime are still earned regardless of what season a character was created for. Otherwise, there are no restrictions on what content you can run your characters through.
So yes, you can grab that character that does not match the season being run and help a table out, you just will not get all the rewards they get.

Then I have less good news for you: your games are totally affected!

Here's to completely ignoring the point.
Who would want to play as some kind of NPC that doesn't get a share in the loot?
I don't want to "help a table out": I want to play and advance my character. If I'm locked out of some awards at one table, I'll likely look for a table where that is not true. If I can't find one where I'm not treated as second class, I'll probably just wander off.

Well, I guess I am lucky that I do not play with selfish jerks.
Perhaps they get to play more than 3-4 times a year? That does tend to put a premium on actually playing usefully.
