Hey friends,
Been looking for a local campaign for the last few months and haven't had ANY luck whatsoever, so I've been thinking about what my alternatives are. I had a solid group last summer that got split up because of school/work commitments, but it was probably the most fun I've ever had.
Now, I've looked through a few of the threads here (they seem to be extremely active, which is cool to see), and I'm wondering how exactly Pathfinder is played online. I've heard of play by post/email, and that seems to be what the majority of the threads on here are about, but I'm not sure if it's for me. Are there any groups that use some sort of interfacing programs to tabletop? I'm looking for a bit more of an authentic experience and would hope to use voice chat during games, for example. Is this common?
Anyone that can offer some insight is welcomed. My ideal situation would be to set up a scheduled time every week to jump on Skype, get in a call, and play that way, if not on an actual table.

I'm not partial to the play by post method either. i'm currently in two pathfinder games that are run over skype and using maptools, both of which are free.
These types of games pop up here and there. You just have to keep an eye out for them. The hard part is finding one that matches your schedule for days and hours.

Hey, thanks for the reply. It's cool to see that I'm not the only person interested in something faster paced.
In that case, I guess I'm looking then. Would anyone happen to be running or thinking of starting a campaign using these methods?
I see a fair number of these on the Reddit RPG boards. Specifically, the LFG subreddit.
