So.
I live near a game store that hosts Pathfinder Society every two weeks, and I usually show up to play there.
Unfortunately, there is one thing about PFS that I really do hate:
Racial restrictions.
The thing is, I personally believe that the core races are just incredibly boring. I like to play as the unusual creatures that you don't expect; the last few characters I've made have been aasimars or tieflings.
But the one thing I really, REALLY want to play is a kobold.
Now, I have considered running my own games with some friends... but there's a problem with that too.
Namely, the GM can't really play. Sure, there's the GMPC, but I don't think that can work at all.
And I don't know any other game masters.
I really don't know what to do about this.
Does your game store have a bulletin board so you can post that your looking for a gm and players for a non pfs style game? Also you can get into local groups in your area via groups in yahoo maybe. Those are some suggestions.

If you can find four other players who are interested in playing, just play a non-PFS game with the PFS scenarios and take turns running the game. Each week, a different person runs the game. In all other ways, agree to follow the PFS rules. You won't be able to use your characters in PFS games, but you will be able to include whatever house rules you want (including various races), and you will only need to GM 20% of the time.
