[LFP] [Pathfinder] Looking to run a story-focused campaign [Wednesday nights]

Hey all, Short Version: I’m a DM looking for 3-5 players interested in playing Pathfinder on Wednesday nights (I’m available 6-10pm Pacific) with an emphasis on story. Long Version: I’m a longtime DM for my main group, and they’re currently in the middle of Kingmaker but I’m looking to run a game on the side to explore other avenues. I really want to pursue games with a character-driven narrative focus so I can improve on that aspect of my DMing. To that end I’d like to get a weekly Wednesday night game going. We’d probably try a shorter campaign (~2 months) to start with but we can always keep going if it’s a good fit and we’re all having fun. I usually run Pathfinder with minor homebrew modifications (mainly in the interest of streamlining play). Previous experience with RPGs/Pathfinder is not a must, but willingness to engage with and participate in a narrative experience is. Ideally I would run this for a group of players who know and/or have played with each other before (I find familiarity helps things along nicely) but I suppose that all depends on the turnout. 4 would be an ideal number of players, but I will go to 3 or 5 depending on the situation, but not past those limits. I would prefer to run this via voice chat over Discord with Roll20 as the shared interface, but exceptions can always be made. I don’t have an existing narrative in mind. That would be something we set up together based on the kind of campaign we’re all interested in and what your characters are like. Again, my interest is not in running the most challenging combat encounter (although I by no means eschew combat) but rather in collaboratively telling a cool, interesting and engaging story. Let me know about your availability/interest and we’ll see if we can make a connection. Thanks for reading!
Shame you are PST, those times are perfect for my group EST lol
Wow, this sounds right up my alley! I'm in EST so this is a little on the late side for me, but if we click it will be completely worth it.  It's been a few years since I played Pathfinder, but it was a multi-year campaign that I enjoyed a lot. We also had some homebrew rules for the same reason you listed above. I strongly prefer character- and story-focused campaigns with lots of roleplaying, so I hope this works out! I can be very flexible for character concepts (although I do naturally skew good/neutral rather than evil/chaotic) and am happy to go with the group flow depending on what's needed.  Please keep me in mind for the campaign and contact me with more details when you know them!
@ the Winter Drake: sorry it didn't work out :( @ Crankyknits: I'm glad this sounds like a good fit! You're definitely at the top of my list (such as it is) and if we can round up at least another two people we can hopefully get the ball rolling on this
