Sanctioned games new GM

[ancientdm]

Just a quick question, we have a group who enjoys playing sanctioned games but would prefer not traveling an hour or more to get to one. One of our members wants to gm sanctioned games but we are not sure what he needs to qualify or if he needs to sign up on a forum or something. We know he will need to buy scenarios and have all offered to chip in so as it is not any cost to him. So basically whats the scoop on becoming a gm for PFS?

any advice would be helpful or maybe a link to the proper information would also help.

Welcome to PFS.

All your GM (and the players) really need to do is to create an account and register for the Pathfinder Society here at paizo.com and get a Society number.

Once you get that, you can run the scenarios as private home games, and the GM reports the results here. You will want to download the Guide to Organized Play here . It gives you the info you need for what the guidelines are for character creation and what's allowed and what's not out of the Core rules.

If there's any specific questions, most folks around here are usually fairly quick to try and point you in the right direction.

Good gaming to you.

Thanks that is exactly what we needed, we all have registered characters here and each has a pathfinder card so the rest should be easy. Again thanks alot for the links.
