I always wanted to give it a go, but could never find a group. Now as a careered adult with kids, it is even harder to find time to try this kind of thing, especially since my spouse has few gaming tendencies. Last year or so though, I saw a Pathfinder Humble Bundle for a bunch of rule books and I decided to buy them for fun. And that got me thinking..I started poking around some forums and ended up joining a play-by-post (PbP) Pathfinder campaign over at paizo.com.

I've really enjoyed myself! After a while I joined two more campaigns. A post or three a day is easy to fit in my schedule. It really gives me something to look forward to each morning as I sit down with some coffee.

depending on where you live, you might have some luck via meetups. i'm a long-time rpg player, but I lost my group when I moved to esseph. Meetup started the networking process - there's a lot of D&D and other RPG meetup groups.


Many local game stores host RPG nights and welcome new or drop-in players.


When I was doing PbP a while back the best site, hands down, was https://www.myth-weavers.com .

I suggest you give it a try


What features in a PbP forum do you like?


I write that I'm having a great time doing PbP at paizo, everyone writes that I should try something else.


You could always play with your family.


Yeah, I got my teenager and some of his friends into D & D in middle school... I jus bought the current box set and dm'd for a the first couple of sessions and then one of his buddies took over.
