Im a new Pathfinder player that bought in to the humble bundle from last year i think. I have all the main books for the most part and i would love to play but cant find anywhere to play.
I am agoraphobic so i don't leave my house much. I am currently looking for somewhere to play online. I recently found RollD20 but I'm not really comfterble with the platform and am not sure how to meet people and get games scheduled/going.
Any information to help me do this would be wonderful. I would love to be part of this community but am not sure where to start and am, to be honest, a little scared. If it helps I am a 28 year old man and not a scared boy. I just don't really know where to look and who to possibly contact.
Thanks for any help possible and I'm sorry if i posted this in the wrong forum.

really i didnt know that. Is it difficult? I was looking for something a little more interactive but that still sounds like a whole lot of fun. thank you very much.
The PFS online discord server and the online collective can both get you to online games. They use roll d20 but its fairly easy to learn (probably the easiest online platform with the lowest grading curve)
Keep in mind you're in the pathfinder society forum, and most of those are pathfinder society games: they're the all official and everything games and come with a few restrictions (less than most DMs but some people find them annoying)
If you're new to Pathfinder Society this guide is meant to be the nickle tour

I will look into those. Im not really sure if i meant to post on the pathfinder society but either way any help is wonderful. Im also a little rusty/new to this whole forum thing. is there a list of places i should check or maybe a few things i should do before i look for actual games?
Hi Brendthomas, I play in quite a few online games within the forums here.
Some of our games are only 3 or 4 posts a day but my busiest play by post can top 50 posts a day. They are as 'interactive' as the people playing want them to be.
I would seriously give them a go, especially if you want to focus on the roleplaying side of the game as the time between posts I find actually helps me to plan what I say and do better.

Did you notice that Woran's spell was a full-round cast?

Welcome to Pathfinder Society Online Play! We’d love to have you join us. PbP is a bit like a shared interactive short story. It's different but a ton of fun.
Virtual Table Top is more familiar, games done in real time.
Looking for PFS VTT Online Play?
If so, start by joining our PFS Online chat here on our dedicated Discord server:
If you want, you can also join the Pathfinder Society Online Collective, where you'll find plenty of games to get you started.
Looking for PFS Play-by-Post?
We have four great lodges!
Or you can contact your friendly local PbP Venture Lieutenant, Hmm.
Wowo so many options. Its sort of overwhelming. Im looking for a virtual table top. That would be wonderful to start with. Im new at this whole roleplaying thing. I have played a few games in my life but never anything to completion and not more than 20 or so hours in total id guess.

Well, let's make this less overwhelming, then!
Hop over to our Discord channel, PFSchat.com, and introduce yourself. The #looking4game channel is the place to find games. There are new ones happening all the time.
Also, PbP can be a nice option to consider for later. It is very easy to immerse yourself into a lovely and detailed game, and can be a very reassuring game for anyone who's housebound.
I hope all this helps, and that we see you in a game sometime!
Hmm
If Pathfinder Online Society is not your cup of tea, go ahead and dot into the thread above. I am Recruiting for characters on a fairly frequent basis.
You should also in general check here PbP Recruitment. Nearly every day a new or several new threads for new games come up and at least one is bound to interest you I am sure.
Good luck!
