About Organized Play
In an organized play campaign, your character exists in a common setting shared by thousands of other gamers worldwide. You can take your character to any public Organized Play event anywhere in the world, and while the Game Master and your companions might change every time you play, your character advances as normal.
Over time, campaigning in an organized play environment offers a uniquely immersive experience, as your diverse companions add depth and character to the campaign world. It's also a great way to get in touch with other local gamers, meet new people, and play regularly without all the prep work and scheduling of a traditional campaign. Your local regional coordinator (also called a Venture-Captain or Venture-Lieutenant) can assist you in finding or setting up your own Organized Play event.
How do I get started?
All Organized Play players must register themselves and their characters online. When you register, you'll receive an official Organized Play Number. Keep your Organized Play Number handy and bring it with you to every OP event you attend. Paizo uses this number to record the adventures your character has completed and the XP and gold they have gained.
If you just want to jump right in and don't want to worry about all that until you've had a chance to play, a pre-generated character can be provided for you at your first game.
Where can I play?
Once you've got an Organized Play Number and have created your character, you're ready to play your first Pathfinder or Starfinder Society adventure! The easiest way to find a local game is to join this Meetup and RSVP for one of the upcoming Meetups on this site with an advertised level range for a level 1 character. The level range will be listed at the end of the Meetup title in parenthesis such as (1-2),(1-4) or (3-6).
What do I have to bring?
At a minimum, you'll need a character sheet with all of your character information. You'll also need to know your Organized Play Number (it's a good idea to write it somewhere on your character sheet), a set of 7 polyhedral dice, a pencil, a 1-inch scale miniature or token to represent your character on a combat grid. Other players may be able to lend you dice or a miniature for the gaming session if you don't have any, but eventually, you'll want to get a set of your own. The only thing left needed is a desire to roleplay and have fun!
I hope to see you at the gaming table soon,
Venture-Captain David Malkiewicz
Venture-Lieutenants Randy Cronin, Heather and Travis Zimmerman, Eric Stevens, and Zachary Davis

Starfinder Scenario #1-05: Sloughscar Summit
Silver Canon, 131 S Schroeder St, Baltimore, MD 21223,, Baltimore, MD, USALL PLAYERS WELCOME!!!
Welcome to the Silver Canon Collective Lodge!A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st- through 2nd-level characters, playable in 2-3 hours.
Under the leadership of First Seeker Sarmak, the Starfinder Society has established a fledgling lodge in Akiton’s Sloughscar Hills to study a massive, crashed starship known as the Wreck of the Returned. The Starfinder Society isn’t the only group interested in the Wreck. In addition to countless freelancers and independent salvagers, three prominent factions have arisen and are clashing at every turn: the Aspis Consortium, a coalition of local Akitonian salvagers, and a government sanctioned delegation from the planet Aballon. With an eye to improving relations, Sarmak has invited representatives from each of these factions to meet on neutral ground to come to terms.
When danger threatens to disrupt the Sloughscar Summit, it’s up to the Starfinder Society to keep the peace.This is an adventure in the ongoing Invasion's Edge metaplot.

SFS 2e #01-20: Magic Unleashed
3 Gear Games / Studios, 25 C St, Laurel, MD, USWelcome New / Beginning Players: No need to bring anything but a good attitude.
This is an adventure in the ongoing Invasion’s Edge metaplot.
This adventure is for LEVEL 3-4 characters. Download the Pregens here.
You can also create your own LEVEL 3 character. The rules are here. No previous game Chronicles needed.If the event is full, please join the waitlist. It will help us to know if we need to recruit more GMs.
Since its crash landing on the planet Akiton, the Wreck of the Returned has leaked volatile magic into the surrounding Sloughscar Hills. These effects have run the gamut from unseasonal storms, unnatural plant growth, and sudden bursts of magical energy to swaths of magically warped terrain, reality tears that transplant strange creatures, and regions of unstable reality that degrade matter entirely. In the ensuring months, these magical anomalies have become more frequent, more powerful, and more dangerous. When a sudden onslaught of magical catastrophes strikes all at once, First Seeker Sarmak dispatches teams of Starfinders to defend their allies, combat these threats, and counter this magical show of force with a concerted emergency response effort. When the dust settles, will the Starfinders stand strong and united? Or will they break under the magical assault?
