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,

See all- Pathfinder Society Scenario #5-04:Necessary Introductions (Levels 1-4)Black Flag Brewing Company, Columbia, MD
A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st- through 4th-level characters.
Since the defeat of Aslynn, the night hag, the Waterfall has become more of a staple around the Grand Lodge, starting to hold strange, isolated meetings with leadership and seemingly putting together some plan. Her most recent request is that a team of Pathfinder agents journey to Hwanggot and meet with the underworld dragon, Valashinaz as a introductory team. Venture-Captain Yi Da Som arranged the meeting through Valashinaz's kobold assistant, Purepurin. Unfortunately, between then and the PCs arriving, Purepurin forgot about them in the midst of pickling recipes from goblins and creepy crawlies invading the vaults! It's up to the PCs to help Purepurin bring Valashinaz's vaults under control while she summons the dragon to ensure these introductions go off without a hitch!
This adventure is the first part of the four-part Equal Exchanges metaplot arc in the Year of Unfettered Exploration. This arc will be continued in PFS2 #5-09: Equal Exchanges – Skymetal Hoard, PFS2 #5-11: Equal Exchanges – The Hidden Current, and PFS2 #5-18: Equal Exchanges – Tapestry of the Mind.

New night, same time! We are moving our weekly game from Tuesdays to Mondays.
Note: Pregenerated characters will be available for players who don’t have a character in the scenario’s level range.
Quest 10: The Broken Scales
A Pathfinder Society Quest designed for 1st- through 4th-level characters.It's often debated whether Venture-Captain Drandle Dreng is dangerously erratic or simply uncannily unpredictable, but wherever he appears, chaos is sure to follow. When Dreng calls for a group of Pathfinders to help him check on the Society's kobold allies, the Sewer Dragons, what should have been a simple rendevous turns into a chase through the sewers of Absalom to save the Society's scaley associates.
Quest 25: The Greengold Dilemma
A repeatable Pathfinder Society Quest designed for 1st- through 4th-level characters.Greengold, a port city within the elven nation of Kyonin, is recovering from a disaster, and this gives the Pathfinder the perfect opportunity to set up a lodge within the Elven nation. To do so, though, they must convince some of the leaders and most important people within the Elven nation. The Society has sent a team of its leadership to handle these negotiations, but they've also sent some newer agents to help make an impression of the potential training with the Society can provide. Of course the Aspis Consortium, longtime enemies of the Pathfinders, have been trying to make inroads in Greengold, and some overzealous agents decide that the PCs would make excellent targets.
