Right now I'm in mcKinney but I'm looking for a new play in thise area.

I'm in Texas, USA.

Youtube has a lot of them. Not live podcast, per se, but still.

Conflict, Strength, Plants, Knowledge.

Are PbP and other online games here considered fully sanctioned or official Pathfinder Society games?

Interested if I can play an Azlanti. :D

Hello everyone!
I didn't see an "introduction" forum so i figured I would post here because, to be frank, I'm severely confused about the Pathfinder Society games and how they work. I have read the FAQ and various other posts and excerpts regarding them, but I still find myself scratching my head.

So far as I understand it, the Pathfinder Society is basically a big official group of gamers playing Pathfinder who go in to sanctioned games, play their character and have their sheet kept in a database of sorts. is that right?

Now, on to specific questions..

1. So how does it work?
2. Do I just find a game in my area, roll out a sheet and show up?
3. How do they keep track of my stuff?
4. What are the benefits and/or rewards for getting a fully official character sheet?
5. Where do I start?

Basically, I need a third-grader's explanation for how this all works, and where and how to get started. I really would love to play and there's a game coming to my area around my birthday so I'd love to play in it.

Thanks in advance and I'm sorry if this is redundant for y'all.
