Pathfinder Society Online Play?

[KnuckleSmoke]

With both Covid-19 and 2e making it nigh impossible to find games lately, I'm turning to Pathfinder Society Online to get my 1e fix. Unfortunately I can't find where to make caracters or apply for games. The landing page for Organized Play here on Paizo.com mentioned that Legacy Play for 1e would be coming soon, is Online Society play still supported or has everything moved to 2e?

I currently see 159 online listings on Warhorn for PFS1.

There is always PbP Recruitment going on.

And then of course The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge.

Plus the Paizo Events page, although that is not PFS1 only, or online only.

I don't see that you are a Pathfinder Society member, yet, though.

Go to your My Account page, sign up for Organized Play, record the 7-digit number it spits out, then go to the Organized Play section of your account, click on the Summary tab, scroll down, and finally click the button to "Register a New Pathfinder Society (first edition) Character".

After you've done that, you can download the Guide to Organized Play to see about character creation and the rules for Organized Play, find a game online, and get your fix on!

That was an unbelievably helpful post, thank you Nefreet.

Another good place to look is the Organized Play Discord server pfschat.com

Greetings and welcome Knucklesmoke!

If you're looking for Play by Post groups (usually listd as 'PbP) you can find a lot of those on the Paizo forums (Here for Pathfinder 1, here for Pathfinder 2 and here for Starfinder), there are also plenty of games run in real time on virtual tabletops (Roll20, Foundry, Fantasy Grounds and D20 Pro being the most popular, commonly called 'VTT's). We also have a few discord communities that involve both PbP and VTT games for Pathfinder and Starfinder!

You can find what is probably the most populous discord server and the main lodge for VTTs here; Organised Play Online

There is also an online PbP lodge (often using the play by discord format) here; Roll for Combat

There are also some other excellent VTT lodges who are primarily focused on Starfinder but you can also find some Pathfinder games and some PbP games on them as well! First we have the; Cosmic Crittermanders and there is also the Starfinder Nexus.

And another VTT lodge that has grown from the Glass Canon Podcast, which plays Starfinder & Pathfinder, here! The Glass Canon Community

If you decide to give us a look you can find me on the Organised 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!
