hello i am new and was wondering if someone can...

[little uke]

invite me to a group and teach me how to play pbp pathfinder thank you

Start looking over the recruitment threads for groups that look interesting, and then ask to join.

Some of the threads are for Pathfinder Society members, and I think you might have to have subscription to join those, but I'm not entirely sure; I'm fairly new here myself.

[little uke]

ok thank you

Actually the Pathfinder Society games only require that you have registered for the Pathfinder Society (Banner on the left of the page) to get your PFS # and make your character according to the rules outlined in the Guide to Organized Play.

The Guide is available for free here.

Little uke, are you new to the Pathfinder RPG, to pbp, or to both?

[little uke]

i played a little with a friend in real life but not too much but i did some research and stuff

[Branding Opportunity]

Playing in a play-by-post game is not too different from playing Pathfinder in person. The major differences is that it moves MUCH slower. Most people write a new post about once a day, although some post more and some less. That means that even a simple Pathfinder Society scenario that is only 25 pages long, can go on for weeks or even months.

One advantages of PBP is that it allows you a lot more time to come up with interesting descriptions of your character, develop relationships with other PCs, and create plots and posts that are much more literary than just: "I walk into the room and make a Perception check." PBP is actually more like an interactive short story (or novel for the longer games), and works best IMO when the GM and players treat it as such.

[little uke]

how are checks and combat done then?

[Joana]

There's a dice-roller in the boards. Click the How to format your text button below the Quick Reply box.

You need to read this guide; it will answer a lot of your questions.

[Aeshuura]

You use the dice roller using the following tags [ dice = check/attack/etc ] 1d20 + mod [ /dice ] and it will randomize for you.

EDIT: Ninja'd! :p

I understand getting games together on the forums can be hit-and-miss.

If you're still looking for a game, litte uke, I am trying to get a basic tier 1 Pathfinder Society scenario started via PbP.

If you're interested (or anyone else for that matter), see this thread.

[DM DoctorEvil]

I have an open recruitment thread for a game here and would welcome those new to PbP and new to Pathfinder in general.

LMK if you wanna come over and play.
