Getting Started

[jupiterlives]

Hi,

I'm interested in being a GM for Pathfinder Society. I've GM'd in the past for different systems, but not for Pathfinder. Is there anything I need to do to get certified as a GM? Do I need to run my events through a store? Is there any good starting point for a group of new players?

Sorry for the basic questions, but there's just so much content out there and I'm a little lost. Any help on getting started would be appreciated.

You and your players should read the Roleplaying Guild Guide, which gives specific rules for the Pathfinder Society (PFS) campaign. Your local coordinators, known for setting reasons as Venture-Officers, can assist.

To run PFS games, you should register with a Pathfinder Society number through your account here. You don't need to qualify or be certified. You can run games wherever is convenient, though stores and groups with higher volumes of play get additional support.

You could start with any sanctioned content that allows first level characters. Strictly, there are some higher level adventures they could play for credit, but that gets into more complicated campaign rules.
