Hello folks, I'm Rune and I live in Brazil. I have a small IRL group to which I DM a couple Pathfinder campaings. I have only the Pathfinder Core Rulebook in print, although I'm fairly experienced in referring to PFsrd while playing and recommending archetypes/feats etc. for my players.
I've been thinking about starting a weekly PFS game, but I honestly do not know where to begin. Language isn't a barrier for me, but it may be to some of my players.
Somethings I'd like to know is what do I need to start playing (rulebooks, adventures, etc). Sadly I have to walk a bare-bones approach, since international charges make buying even a simple $5 book ends up costing the equivalent of 20 bucks.
And lastly, I'd love suggestions on how to hook players up and expand the player and DM base. I mean, going from a homebrew campaign to a society one can feel stifling or restrictive.

Well first of all, the materials you need can all be purchased via .pdf here on Paizo's site. I don't know what billing is like outside the US, but the digital copies are signifigantly cheaper than hard copies.
Furthermore, in PFS you must run sanctioned scenarios & adventures. Those are also available in .pdf format and there are 200-ish available.
There is a calendar here on the site to advertise & publish your events as well. You may have to rely on other means to advertise to your local players as well, unless they're already paizo devotees of the site here. But additionally, you'll need to have your event registered in order to report it for player & gm credits.
I'd click the Pathfinder Society button on the left of the screen and explore around.. read what you see, by all means download the free Organized Play Rules .pdf.
Welcome to PFS!
