Sorry guys, I'm new to this PFS thing. How does it work? Can it be played over Fantasy Grounds? How does one register for a game? I would love to join the society and play games as per my convenience, with my busy schedule its hard to play each week on a set day.

And PbP games are often organized here.

what is Play by Post? I only play Fantasy Grounds, it is definitely the best online experience I have had, I've played Roll20 extensively but it just doesn't rival FG.

Play by post is a very long form game, where players use things like forums, or a discord channel with a dice roller bot, and play a game session over the course of weeks, as people can get to it, instead of hours.
Regarding Fantasy Grounds, Society scenarios can certainly be played that way, and I think that the dice tower feature would be very handy for 2E, with the expansion of secret rolls, though I have seen a lot more people running things on Roll20.

Hey Atalius, glad to hear that you liked your first game, though you made your post in a slightly wrong part of the forum.

I haven't played a game of Society yet. Would like to though. Ya I think more people play on Roll20 because its Free (I was one of those people before), then I decided to spend some funds on a better experience and it was definitely worth it.

Greetings and welcome Atalius!
There are plenty of Society games run in real time on virtual tabletops (Fantasy Grounds, D20 Pro and Roll20 being the most popular). We also have a few discord communities that involve both PbP and VTT games for Pathfinder, Pathfinder 2nd Edition and Starfinder (and even some ACG organisation!) and are a great place to find games and meet other online players.
There's no guides I've seen yet specifically for PF 2nd edition but this is a good one explaining PFS in general from a players perspective which should still mostly be accurate, written by the lovely Big Norse Wolf.
A lot of VTT games are organised by discord servers, you can find what is probably the most populous one here, which is run by the Online Region Venture Officer team; Org Play Online
If you're set on only using Fantasy Grounds then you will definitely find that there's a much smaller amount of games that are an option for you though I'm afraid as a significant amount of the VTT community uses Roll20 or other formats.
You can also find the Fantasy Grounds discord server here, which has a channel for PFS games.
There is also a section of the FG website specifically for PFS which might prove a good place to start! You can find them here.
If you decide to give us a look you can find me on the Org Play Online discord under the nickname 'Stunt Monkey', there are of course plenty of other people who are super helpful that you'll find on them. Best of luck finding somewhere to call home!

Hi! If you're hoping to find a friendly local game store to play PFS at, google is your friend! There is also this map which has most if not all the regular PFS games listed, so you could find potentially multiple locations you can play at within your area.
