Hey peoples, I’m looking for a few more players for my Pathfinder group. If you don’t know Pathfinder is an alternate system to Dungeons and Dragons that was released between DnD 3.5 and 4th edition. It’s a competitor to DnD as a whole. It has a lot more number than 5e but has more mechanical and creative freedom. I have 3 players at this time and I’m looking for 3 more. I’m trying to get a healthy mix of people from different backgrounds to keep the roleplay interesting. Ideally I would like men, women, and any in between as well, as people closer to my age so people anywhere from 21-29. This isn’t just for playing DnD this meant to also form long term friendships as well. I am open to new and experienced players, the big thing is being open minded and respectful towards other people and players, it is a game at the end of the day as we are all just trying to have some fun. The first couple of sessions will be at emerald tavern in central Austin but then afterwards I would be hosting at my place in SouthWest Austin so if that’s too far of a drive for once every other week, I get it, but it’s cheaper to host at my place than rent a table every couple of weeks. Players will not need to provide anything, I have maps, pencils, markers, books, character sheets, and dice. The only thing you will need is to be able to make one session every other Friday for a few hours. Also I have a Husky so if animal allergies are a thing you may not want to reach out either. LTo be clear, this is not meant to be discriminatory in any way, and this not meant to be a dating thing either. So please don’t treat it that way. Anyways I hope to hear from some of you, please reach out or comment if you have questions, I am always available to answer questions, even if you are not interested in playing.

Anyone in NW Atlanta, Georgia looking for an in person game? We have a group of six players I’m GMing that are halfway through book 3 of Mummy’s Mask AP. we can add one player to this game if Wednesday evenings works better. We play every other Wednesday night from 7-11 pm. We have an Obsidian Portal website set up for this campaign to track all aspects of the campaign (xps, treasure, adventure journal, etc…) and allow for PCs to communicate in character using the message boards there. I have a second group of seven players I’m GMing that are halfway through book 3 of Rise of the Runelords AP. That group is also currently full. We play every other Friday from 7-11 pm. likewise with the obsidian Portal website for campaign website. I have three more players that would like to play in a campaign, but don’t want to Split them up and increase either of the first two games at 8 players, so I am currently recruiting 2-4 more players for a third, bi-weekly game. This third one will run every other week on Fridays from 7-11 pm at our house in Hiram. A new Obsidian Portal website for this campaign has been set up. Looking at running whatever AP the group would like using PF1e rules. Send me a PM if interested. Any experience level is welcome. Note these are in person games. We don’t have the capabilities to run online at this time.

Players For "The Master's Ascension" Campaign PF1e

We're assembling a roleplaying group to play Pathfinder First Edition; if anyone is interested, please reply and we will open a dialogue. CAMPAIGN DETAILS - Campaign Name: The Master's Ascension - Starting Module Name: Master of the Desert Nomads - Module Description: The PCs will trek through a harsh desert environment - Starting Level: 5 - Starting Gold: 10,500 RECOMMENDED ROLES - Arcane Spellcaster - Front Line Combatant - Healer - Skill Monkey PCS ALREADY CREATED - Divination Wizard (Arcane Spellcaster) - Slayer (Front Line Combatant) - Cleric (Healer) - (we still need a Skill Monkey) ABOUT CHARACTER CREATION - Characters should spend no more than half their total wealth on any single item. For a balanced approach, PCs that are built after 1st level should spend no more than 25% of their wealth on weapons, 25% on armor and protective devices, 25% on other magic items, 15% on disposable items like potions, scrolls, and wands, and 10% on ordinary gear and coins. Different character types might spend their wealth differently than these percentages suggest; for example, arcane casters might spend very little on weapons but a great deal more on other magic items and disposable items. - Players should work together to make sure most if not all skills are covered; doubling up is okay, and may be helpful. - If you find it in a non-fan made source then it's fine. No restrictions for classes. Obviously you should be good or neutral aligned. Evil characters don't make sense. - The DM has decided to bestow 2 traits as a bonus. You can exchange them for 1 feat instead if you want. You may take a drawback optionally in order to get 1 more trait. So therefore each PC will have between 2 and 5 traits. ABOUT THE GAME - We have 1 DM and 3 players so far. - Three of us live in Bedford and 1 of us lives in Mitchell. - We plan to play in Bedford. - We communicate on Facebook Messenger.

New adventures wanted

I'm looking for players, and honestly the system doesn't matter much to me. Pathfinder 1e is preferable, but i can run most games. Style of game can also be discussed as a group. I've got SO many ideas. Low stakes shenanigans, or epic god-slaying quests. I like story AND combat, and like to weave them together so its all RP when possible.  Very newb friendly, its kind of my specialty.  Very friendly in general. So if you want to get some games in, let me know.

I'm looking for three more players for a weekly Pathfinder 1e campaign. We will be playing through a published adventure path, likely Curse of the Crimson Throne, War for the Crown, or Kingmaker. We would be meeting every Saturday or Sunday at my place in Hamburg-Nord. I can supply all needed books and materials, and I'd be happy to teach the system to any beginners.

Creating New Group

Adult
The table is for players who are 18 or over.
Combat focused
Fights, tactics and initiative take up most of the table time.
I am looking to create a new group to play Pathfinder 1E with. This will be an in person game if everyone who wants to join us is in the Vancouver/Surrey BC 🇨🇦 area. I can't host, but I do live very close to the Surrey Central Public Library, where we can book a private room if necessary. Unless one of you can host regularly, which is even better. If we can't get a group together for an in person group, then I am open to expanding this to being strictly online.  I will not be DMing, as I was the forever DM with a previous group and I just became sick of it. So we will be recruiting a DM as well as a number of players. Ideally we should have from 4 to 6 players and a DM for this group. I would like for us to have the game be set in either The Forgotten Realms, or in Exandria, as I am most familiar with those settings. However, ultimately, whatever the DM decides on is fine with me. We will be looking for a DM who can run a campaign with a good balance between role playing and combat. I have rolled up several characters that I would like to play. I wrote them as being 5th level mostly, as 1st level characters are far too soft and squishy, and far too easy to kill. So if we could start our campaign with 5th level characters, that would be ideal. If not, then I am open to depowering my character to fit the DM's campaign.  The game should be beginner friendly, and LGBTQ friendly (I'm not LGBTQ myself, but I am an ally). The content should be mature (18+) but not necessarily NSFW (although NSFW should be allowed if everyone agrees beforehand). No one should be kept from the table due to race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc.  So if anyone out there is in the same boat I am in and wants to create a whole new group, whether you're a DM looking for a group or a player looking for a game, please contact me and we can go forward from there.

2hr sessions every Friday 9pm UK / 10pm France / 4pm East Coast US. (Make no mistake, we pack a lot into the short run time and get straight down to business at game time). This is an invitation to join an established group of 3 players who take turns with the GM role. We are currently playing Pathfinder 1E but we have played other systems, and possibly will play more in the future. Right now, you'd be jumping into an adventure at level 6 tracking down a missing wizard in an abandoned part of the city. In this campaign story is the main driver, not combat, although both aspects are represented. I want to know what you hope to get out of the game. What are your favourite parts of playing?

Roleplay focused
Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
I am posting this on behalf of the incredible DMs of this westmarches group. We need new blood! We're certainly not floundering or anything, but there's a handful of people who are active outside of the DMs themselves. Our games tend to run at 1:30 EST/7:30 CET and the majority of players are in the CET timezone, but speak predominantly English. It's a group of chill, non-discriminatory players who request a game that works for them. A lot of the rules in this server rely on AONPRD PFS legal content with some exceptions. I can answer most questions or give more details on such rules if asked. The setting: An adventuring guild in the city of Lascaris is sent out on the regular through the Nexus, teleporting to lands mostly untouched by civilization in millenia, in the hopes to uncover lost Sarusan architecture and artifacts. It's typically the players who tell the stories of these zones, that and what was left behind. Or what has taken residence in the time between our intervention... All of our communication goes through Discord, but I would like to personally vet anyone who is interested. DM me or leave an application and I'll get to you when I can.

Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
Hello! Me and a friend had an idea to have a game where the entire party is true dragons, ganging up together for a specific reason or just neighbors who have territories next to each other. Rules for how we make true dragon characters can be discussed with the potential GM, though I do own the Dreamscarred Press Monster Class for Dragons, and have had true dragon PC's in my games before using the play as a monster rules. The idea is to really get to enjoy and play into the fantasy of being a dragon in a fantasy setting, be it Golarion or a homebrew world, and interacting with it from a different perspective than normal, and to hopefully feel like a epic dragon! As such in that regard, we’re looking for a GM to make this game come true. We are three, so if a DM is interested in a smaller group, or more as I have no issue with recruiting as many as you'd like! The timeslot is currently set on fridays anytime before 11 pm EDT. Platform can be anything you’d like. Just make a quick application if you're interested!

Iron Gods Adventure Path 1st Edition Pathfinder

Adult
The table is for players who are 18 or over.
Hello, My Pathfinder 1E group is looking for a player to join us for the Iron Gods adventure path. We just started Book 2 so there's still plenty of adventure path left for new players. The AP focuses more on exploration and combat (more of a dungeon crawl), though there are opportunities for roleplaying as well. Our schedule is set for Tuesdays & Thursdays, 5-9 PM US EST time. You MUST be available on both days, as we use one as a backup day in case we can't play on the other. Here's what we're searching for in a player: ⦁ Someone who understands the basics of Pathfinder 1E - movement, combat options, action economy, for example. ⦁ Tying into the above, someone who pays attention during combat and executes their turn quickly. In tough situations taking extra time is understandable. ⦁ Someone who understands how to use the Pathfinder Community Sheet. ⦁ No rules-lawyers or munchkins. ⦁ Someone who will work with the group and is looking for cooperative gameplay. ⦁ An individual who takes initiative between sessions to discuss options and plans with the party, as well as advancing personal goals with the GM. Character creation rules: ⦁ 25 point buy (minimum of 7, maximum of 20 in a stat after racial modifiers) ⦁ 2 traits (1 must be a campaign trait from Iron Gods), no drawbacks ⦁ No characters that rely on controlling multiple units (spam summoners, animal companion shenanigans, familiar transformations and archetypes) ⦁ Start at Level 5 with WBL-1. ⦁ Max HP for the first 3 levels; Roll 2HDkh1 in roll20 for subsequent levels past 3rd. Example: [] ⦁ We have a set of House Rules you'll need to read here: https://drive.proton.me/urls/PKF331DGEG#oGAy277XYfuK Once you read those and are certain you're fine with them, you can contact the GM on Roll20 (I'm A Cyberlich) or on Fluxer (Neutral_Evil#4919). Have a character concept ready to pitch to the GM (not a "build") and we'll set up a voice chat to discuss any further questions.

Rise of the Runelords!

Paid game
The Game Master charges a fee to run the game.
From the idyllically peaceful coastal town of Sandpoint to an ancient lost city at the top of the world, Rise of the Runelords takes a party of adventurers from 1st to over 18th level and delves into the mysteries of Varisia's ancient past. Millennia ago, the powerful empire of Thassillon ruled the land, dominated by despotic runelords who maintained their power through harnessing the power of rune magic. Thought gone forever, the workings of Thassilon are not so far beneath the surface and one of the runelords plans a return to power. Only the brave adventurers stand in his way. Looking to recruit a table of 4 players to play through Paizo's first AP under Pathfinder 1 rules. Character Creation Rules : 25 point buy, PHB races allowed by default and any others by approval. All traits allowed, but no drawbacks. No unchained classes or evil characters. I also reserve the right to veto any character choices if I feel it will disrupt the game. Please do not optimize to the Nth degree. My expectations: No toxicity or bigots of any kind. If I feel anyone is breaking these rules, I will boot them without a refund. Please be cool and don't make me do that. What you should expect: I have been playing and DMing for a long time though this is my first paid game ever. I do request a little patience. I also would appreciate constructive criticism as I can always get better. If there is an argument about rules, I will make a ruling on the spot and table the conversation until after the game unless it is vital(AKA a PC is going to die because of it). Also I like personalizing the story to the PCs which may mean a custom side story for a particular player. I also believe in the trains running on time meaning I will not cancel the game when one or more PCs cannot make it. If I have to improvise a side story for 1 player, so be it. Game will be run on Roll20 and we will be using discord for voice.

How to find a Pathfinder game near you

Pathfinder started as a continuation of D&D 3.5 and grew into its own thing - crunchier character building, tighter action rules, and a full rulebook set that Paizo publishes free online.

  1. Set the area. Press "Use my location" for an exact reading, or type your city. Everything on this page reorders by travel distance.
  2. Widen the circle before you give up. Most people find their table in the nearest city rather than their own street, so try 150 mi before deciding the area is empty.
  3. Read the listing, then message inside Groupfinder. Your contact details stay yours until you decide to share them.
  4. Post that you are looking. Half the matches on this site run the other way round, with the game master finding the player.

Questions people ask

How do I find a Pathfinder group near me?

Share your location or type your city in, and the list reorders by distance. Pathfinder tables are thinner on the ground than D&D ones, so a wider radius usually pays off here.

What is the difference between Pathfinder 1E and 2E?

First edition is the D&D 3.5 lineage: deep character building, a lot of options, a lot of bookkeeping. Second edition rebuilt the maths around a three action turn and is far easier to learn. Use the filters above to see only the one you want.

Do I need to buy the rulebooks?

No. Paizo publishes the full rules free through Archives of Nethys, so you can read everything your character needs before your first session without spending anything.

Can I play Pathfinder online instead?

Yes, and a good share of the listings here are online. Foundry VTT has particularly strong Pathfinder support, and the online section on this page shows what is currently recruiting.
