Hi,
I am new to pathfinder! I've been playing for a few months and the group I play with aren't on a regular schedule. So I figured I would give forums a try! Tips and advice would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
Vy!
Hey Vy. The recruitment page (which you made it to) is where you watch and see what games get posted, and if you want to submit to one, you post in it (known as "dotting" because it will then show a dot by it in the forum so you can more easily follow it when re-checking the page.
All the rules for character creation, etc, are up on http://www.d20pfsrd.com (individual GMs will post what races/classes they allow and how they want you to do your ability scores).
To build a character, go up to "My Account" ^^ up at the top of the page there, and create a new Alias for a new character. You can look at my aliases if you want an idea of how to arrange things.
Also, for posting, there is a link at the bottom of the post when you are replying that says "Show" which will show you how to roll dice and use bold for talking and italics for internal monologue, etc.
I'm sure there is plenty more, but that is a place to start.
What other questions do you have?
Terminology like GD6 and PbP or PFS? Lol basic stuff like that
PbP = Play by Post
PFS = Pathfinder Society
GD =Game day
Another guide you might want to read.
I've tried going to create alias. It only allows me to input a name and to pick an avatar. How do I input information?
On your home page click "Aliases." Your new avatar should appear there.
Click on the avatar, and go to "Profile."
You will see a link that says "Click here to create a profile." Click that, and then fill the stuff in!
