How to begin?


Paizo General Discussion


I am new to rpging and pathfinder. I want to play by post but am not sure how to begin.

For instance, what shall I write about when it is my turn? Am I only allowed to write for my own character and cannot touch other players' characters?

How to know when I am required to roll a die?

How to roll a die?

Any other stuffs I need to look out for?

To roll dice on the forums here:

{dice=Perception}1d20 + 3; 1d6 + 2{/dice} This is a dice expression.

Replacing the {} with []


Hey chongjasmine!

On your turn, you describe what your character is doing, and, if required/called for, add a dice roll. Generally players narrate their own character’s actions, and *generally* narrating what another player’s character is doing is not usual as it takes on other character’s agency.

Paul Watson has shown you a dice expression - you can see more in games on the forums.

Check out these links - the first is to general Recuitments, the second is an ongoing thread for applicants.

Recruitment Forum

Applications thread

Find a Recruitment for a game you are interested in, and then click on the Gameplay thread for that game, if it has one.

Sadly a lot of the current games on offer are not for PF2e, and many are for PF1e.

Here is a LINK to a PF2 game that just recently added a couple pf players. If you check the Gameplay tab you can read the Gameplay thread and get an idea of how the game is run, how players…play and some expectations of what a player does.
