Fall of Plaguestone game there if you're interested. it might still be recruiting.
The Title literally said "Non-PFS", so why link to a PFS game?

Ah, my apologies to Silvercat. I missed the PFS reference in that thread :(

To address your concerns:
1. You don't have to be "in PFS." A GM can assign you a number and you can ignore it.
2. You don't have to accept any of the extraneous crap. Honestly, I ignore 95% of it and think 75% of it is more trouble than it's worth.
3. There's not a huge imbalance in supply/demand in the shorter scenarios. Admittedly, I think there is an imbalance in the multiyear Adventure Paths, but I doubt that's what you want.

What you're giving up by excluding PFS:
1. The majority of games run on these forums are PFS games, and the majority of games you will be able to find without a connection to home game are PFS games.
2. PFS games are self-contained, require nothing going in, and require nothing to walk away from. Quests are 1 hour F2F / 2 weeks PbP; Scenarios are 4 hours F2F / 6-8 weeks PbP. They're virtually perfect for someone who wants to give it a single shot.
3. PFS scenarios are written to be fairly balanced within a large, heterogeneous player pool. This means unoptimized characters have high survivability and there's a chance for everyone to contribute no matter their class or experience.

What you're giving up by including PFS:
1. A few of the character options allowed in the rule books are not allowed in PFS.

I would give PFS consideration.
If you want, I can PM you the next time I start a PFS2 campaign (probably mid-April?). I will secretly assign you a PFS number, help you build a character or select a pregen, and throw your Chronicle with all the rewards into the trash so you can pretend you're not "in PFS."

to be honest, that part is rather recent.
and your points are mainly for players, less for GMs.

Oh I can tell you that you'd definitely find interest. That won't be an issue. It just boils down to if you really want to run a PF2 game. DM'ing is tough. I can only imagine it being even more so of a game to where you possess limited knowledge. Heck it's a struggle to play a game with limited knowledge much less DM. :P
But I can promise you that you will NOT be short applicants at all, bud.

If there is interest, I would be willing to run an Age of Ashes campaign, though my experience play PF2 is limited.
My experience is entirely limited, which is why I’m looking for a game. I have the Core Rulebook, and like the rules a lot, those I understand intuitively - others not so much. I’m playing an RL game nominally run by my 9 year old son, but I’m the one running the actual game mechanics. Any more experience I can get will help a lot.
I’m already au fait with the UTEML numbers, but have little to no experience with spells and various success/failure consequences. Some of the actions and options might take a little time to get used to. Most of my disability comes from rusted-on PF1 assumptions/habits.
If you do run an Age of Ashes recruitment GM Jester, please link us here. I’m sure gaining experience with the ruleset will be enjoyable for all involved.
