Hmm, I'm going to look into this. Sounds like a fun cohesive world in pathfinder.

This looks fantastic! I wish you guys had more games going on the weekends, though...

I usually hold a sunday game, and a module mini campaign on saturdays. I'd bet if you posted and asked, someone can probably get together a scenario game on many saturdays as well.

Just bouncing this to the top for the week in case of interested partys. The ironhelixx warhorn has a number of new signups available.

To the top, for a few minutes. Always looking for more as we expand our GM selection, there is a game going almost every night!

Same deal, getting the word out.

I recently made a PFS character on the pazio site on my account profile for fun but I have no&nbsp;experience&nbsp;with it. Any suggestions on a good place to start? I don't know what time I have available to commit to another group right now, but really want to try this format out.

Google Groups has a group called Pathfinder Society Online Collective. They seem to have quite a few games, and many seem to be low level games for newbys. Google+ has a Roll20 Player Network in Communities. They also advertise games. And on the Pathfinder Society Website, under Events, are links to more formal organizations that play online. From what I've seen of the options, the games are mostly upper level games.

I've only played one game so far, but really liked it. The only trouble was, or party had no cleric and no healing. But the game itself was fun, and the group was great.

I am guessing Okie might have been in on a Rise of the Goblin Guild. Heh. But everything listed there is correct, and if you are looking for links to the websites: <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/pathfinder-society-online-collective" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/pathfinder-society-online-collective</a> Where the players hangout and post about their next games <a href="http://warhorn.net/iron-helixx-pfs/schedule/month.php" rel="nofollow">http://warhorn.net/iron-helixx-pfs/schedule/month.php</a> <a href="http://www.warhorn.net/roll20-pfs/schedule/month.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.warhorn.net/roll20-pfs/schedule/month.php</a> These warhorn websites are where you can look up scheduled games and sign up for them, reserving a spot. Hope to see you at a table soon, Cody.

Been interested or curious about Pathfinder Society? A low level game is starting tonight, where you can bring a fresh character or one of the following pregens: <a href="http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder/Pregens-Levels.zip" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder/Pregens-Levels.zip</a> <a href="http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder/Pregens-UC-Levels.zip" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder/Pregens-UC-Levels.zip</a> Sign up tonight and get in on the ever growing campaign! If you want to continue playing after tonight, your efforts will be tracked and added to the list of your characters continued exploits. <a href="http://warhorn.net/iron-helixx-pfs/schedule/day.php?date=2013-03-19" rel="nofollow">http://warhorn.net/iron-helixx-pfs/schedule/day.php?date=2013-03-19</a>

Back to the top. As we pickup more players, we are also gaining new GM's to meet the need, but the community can always use more of both! If you want to join a large and ongoing campaign, consider the official Pathfinder Society.

Zooooom. Join today and start owning.

To the top!

Back to the top.

Over the last two months, the number of players has doubled. Will you join the ranks?

Top the top.

Can you post some&nbsp;relevant&nbsp;stats for your society? Average level of characters, current number of characters, current number number of DM's, how often do sessions get led? stuff like that, would be a really cool way to bump the post in my opinion

Im not certain Paizo, the company the publishes Pathfinder, releases such stats. It is the official campaign of the company, with thousands of players, and the Pathfinder Society Online Collective probably has a regular amount of 30 players with twice that many part time players. As for the number of DM's, hundreds, and online, probably 15 or so. You can find a session for the PSOC on any given night, mainly using Roll20.

And back to the top. Pathfinder Society is becoming pretty popular on roll20 lately.

Do I need to register with someone? I tried to sign up for a game on the google group and it said it would be posted when it was approved. I'm guessing it wasn't approved because it was never posted. Scratch&nbsp;that. Friendly bump.

Sorry Greg, first time posters need to be approved by a moderator to make sure there isnt spam. If you havent been approved already, I'll tap someone before morning.

&nbsp;I am here to introduce you to the magical world of Pathfinder Society, Online Collective.&nbsp; <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fro...ine-collective" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/forum/?fro...ine-collective</a> This is a group of GM's and players who use the Pathfinder Society system for online games @ roll20, maptools, and other various VTT's. We have games going on every night and a few campaigns (for pfs credit ) rolling around. What is Pathfinder Society? Well I am glad you asked, Rhetorical self. This is the official campaign of Paizo Publishing, who make Pathfinder and its various products. <a href="http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety</a> &nbsp;After registering at Paizo.com, you can check your list of characters at the previous link, with a listing of every game you've been in as a player or gm. With some minor rule changes to the core, PFS is easy to play for anyone remotely familiar with the d20/dnd3.5 system of play. A simple rules guide, provided free here:&nbsp; <a href="http://paizo.com/products/btpy84k4" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/products/btpy84k4</a> &nbsp;. Players join others in similar level tiers to complete scenarios with appropriate encounter levels, or work their way through sinister puzzles or complex social encounters. Tables consist of as few as three or as many as seven players, and with such a wide playerbase as the PSOC you can find yourself playing with new people every night, or request tables with old friends.&nbsp; While there are many independent games available on PSOC, the main focus is on Ironhelixx Gaming and Roll20PFS , who have signup sites for their events here: <a href="http://warhorn.net/iron-helixx-pfs/schedule/month.php" rel="nofollow">http://warhorn.net/iron-helixx-pfs/schedule/month.php</a> <a href="http://www.warhorn.net/roll20-pfs/" rel="nofollow">http://www.warhorn.net/roll20-pfs/</a> There is also a West Coast version of Roll20-pfs, who play infrequently.&nbsp; Not sure if you want to go through all the hassle of learning new rules and signing up at paizo.com to register a character? Why not try a pregenerated character and join in a session. These come with explanations as to their variety of attacks and skills. If you enjoy your time in PFS after playing a pregen, you can apply the credit for the table to an actual character you make at a later date. <a href="http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder...ns-Classes.zip" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder...ns-Classes.zip</a> <a href="http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder...UC-Classes.zip" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder...UC-Classes.zip</a> I hope to see you soon friends, Arthur Perkins

Once more to the top. Games are easier than ever to find

Hope you don't mind me sending new people to your thread when they ask about pathfinder games. It seems you are the most active of the pathfinder games around. I don't play it but I have no problem sending people looking for a game to you.

I have no problem with that, and thank you. It seems we are running perhaps two games a night, some with multiple tables.

Greetings, I am new to the "virtual table", but a vet at gaming and I am hoping to find a beginning Pathfinder group! :)

Awesome. I just created a pathfinder society character. I'm pretty new to pathfinder, will I be fine trying to play with just a general familiarity with the rules?

Yes. Sign up at any of our tables or people run their own games on these forums. You can surely hop in one of the 1-5 or 1-7 tier games and the players will almost certainly aid you.

i dont know if i should thankyou, or hunt you down for this thread.&nbsp; I have spent the past 40 hours reading all the core pathfinder material and converting one of my 3.5 bards into a level 1 (think i even did it right). Now to just figure them fancy google hangout things out, or how to actually get into a game on here, think i shall sleep first.

And back to the top. More players, more games, and the need for GM's ever grows. Play on any given day.&nbsp;

Looking for more players, more GM's. Over twice as many games as last month. Growing so fast.

Its been awhile. More players, More GMs. Join us

Question, i never played Pathfinder, is it the same thing and this is just a way to play easier? or is it different rules? In Society how are games played? is there campaigns or just one shots? Some information would be nice so I can&nbsp;assess&nbsp;if i should check this out.

Hey, Eric: Pathfinder Society is, primarily, Organized Play one-shot games. &nbsp;The rules are standard Pathfinder rules (which are a derivative of D&amp;D 3.5), with a few restriction on class, race, and alignment (No Evil). You can find all the rules for Society play here:&nbsp; <a href="http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/playerResources" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/playerResources</a> You can find all the Pathfinder Rules here, for free use:&nbsp; <a href="http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/</a> Most of the games are one shot games, as mentioned above - but there are Modules and Campaign settings that are sanctioned for Pathfinder Society play too. Let us know if you want to create a legal character and we will be glad to help you out. &nbsp;Or, just grab one of the Pre-Generated characters from the player Resources link above and jump into a game. Hope to see you at a table sometime, - Jesse [IronHelixx]

Hey thanks. Ill look at the rules, been awhile since i played dnd 3.5 so ill need to juat read up on the Pathfinder rules. Ill probably join some one shots once i finish reading and feel comfortably playing. That way i get into the jist of everything and then maybe some modules and campaigns. Thanks for the help you should be hearing from me again soon.

Bump. As noted repeatedly, you can play PFS @ the collective on any day, at just about any time.

Always looking for more players, more gms.

As always, looking for more players and GM's for structured play.&nbsp;

Still one of the most popular ways to play pathfinder, with games available on any night and almost any time.

Three day weekend? Maybe you have time to drop in for a game at the provided links in the OP. Grab a pregen and start murder hoboing

A.P. said: Three day weekend? Maybe you have time to drop in for a game at the provided links in the OP. Grab a pregen and start murder hoboing Murdering Hobos is what pregens are best at!
