Thanks everyone!

I think I have everything I need to get started.
I might jump back here for some tips on starting adventures, if that's ok with you all.
I also wouldn't mind some suggestions about the Pathfinder Tales book series - I'd like my players to get a little background about Absalom, and I think fiction might be a good route. Can you folks point me to some of the most well-written of the bunch? Were any of them produced as audiobooks?

Cheers!

Good evening Paizo peeps,

I tried to contact the Lieutenants and Captains of my region (British Columbia, Canada) but have heard nothing back so I'm hoping this community forum can help. The following is a copy of the missive I sent to the local BC Pathfinder Society admins:

*************************************************************
Good afternoon,

My wife and I haven't played any tabletop RPGs in earnest since we moved out west five years ago, but last year we played in a Pathfinder Society game at a con and had a blast.

I would like to start GMing for her and some of our friends, but I am somewhat in the dark about the process of becoming an official PFS gamemaster and I was hoping you could give me some instructions.

Let me start with my presumptions and, if you wouldn't mind, could you please correct any/all my erroneous assumptions?

This is, I believe, what GMing in PFS entails:
1. As a GM I have the obligation of running scenarios according to the conditions laid out in the adventure modules (which come from a list of sanctioned modules). This includes scaling the adventure based on the number of players and their character levels, as well as ensuring that all characters are pathfinder society-legal and active.
2. After completing a scenario I must submit some form of report to ... someone? an organization? Paizo? I don't know.
3. I will need to register for some kind of account (with Paizo? with the BCPFS?) who will keep a record of my stats, and those of my players.

I am curious if I can just run any module I like, from any of the seasons, or if I need to run something from the current active season.
I also would like to know if I am allowed to control access to my games or if I must announce events and take in any player that shows up. It is our intention to bring new players into our group over time but, as I'm sure you've experienced yourself, a lot of the enjoyment of tabletop gaming comes from good interpersonal relationships within the group.

Thank you for your time, and advice!

If there is anyone here who can help me with these questions, I would most appreciate it!
