The Cleric is Paralized

[Tiertanas]

TL;DR: I played pathfinder for the first time at a convention and would like to look more into it and maybe get into contact with the people at the table that were playing.

Last weekend I went to a convention(A-kon) and was wandering around in the gaming room after playing a game of D&D4e. I have had previous experience with 3.5 edition, but playing 4e was almost like playing a foreign game to me. Sure there were some aspects of D&D that I was familiar with but all in all it just didn't seem like the game that I knew and loved. I came across this marvelous table top game that had some miniatures on it and was awestruck when I happened to have glanced at someone's character sheet. Immediately I noticed that it was almost line for line and letter for letter the character sheet that I was familiar with and just had to ask what game they were playing and why it seemed so similar. Sitting down at the table right when someone rage quit because they were walking into melee range with a wizard against a shambling mound; I started talking to the man who owned the character. Now I'm not truly the best when it comes to recollection and for the life of me I can not remember the name of the kind gentleman, (one person at the tables character name was Coldahara, not sure if spelling is correct)and they introduced me to the game, gave me a pre-reg character, who happened to be a cleric, the class that I would say I'm probably the most acquainted with. And after that starting off with 17 hit points and everyone at less then 50% "saved the day"(not particularly but would have been a tpk if i hadn't started spam channeling). We continued on with "The Dog Pharaoh's Tomb" and I'd have to say that I quite enjoy the game very much. Until I stood too close to the fighter against the mummy at the end of the module and got paralized which wasnt fun at all(hind-sight I should have stood 5 more feet behind him). At this point I think I'm rambling on. Long story short, I would very much like to get more into Pathfinder, and if at all possible come into contact again with the gents who introduced me to the game. All I have is a wooden coin, a chronicle certificate, and the gms pathfinder society #.

Would really like some help or insight. I currently do not know how create a character for the database, would be hard without a core rule book, and I'm not particularly sure how I would go about adding in a session that the pre made character I had played onto the new character that I wish to make.

Look on the Pathfinder Society website:

Regional Coordinators

And see if there is a guy you can contact in your region about playing.

You can edit posts right after you make them, but it goes away after a while.

As for your other questions, you can download the character creation rules for free from this website. Scroll up to the top, and click the link to Pathfinder Society on the left side. Lots of good stuff there.

Transfer rules are in the Guide as well. It's easier than you think.

As for finding games, you can try the gamer meetup on this messageboard, search in Obsidian Portal, try to find a local Meetup group, or search Warhorn for the next local convention.

Also check with your local gaming stores, and ask for PFS games. But the best route is to talk with your nearest Venture Captain, who should know most of this already.

If you're in the DFW area (which is where A-Kon is), then you can head here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/pathfinderdfw/

If you aren't from DFW, that won't particularly help. You'll have to find out how to get in contact with your particular chapter.
