Very few Pathfinder GMs are left in there, as the toolset on roll20 is very low quality and over-monetized. By contrast a surprise hit might be looking in the various Fantasy Grounds communities as FG has been recently putting effort into it's PF2E tools and just ended a massive sale for GMs to get started there.There are also discords for Foundry, for Pathfinder in Foundry, and for the 'Rules Lawyer' YouTube channel that have some LFG info, but are mostly discussion.As for posters here running. I'll give the standard excuse of time to run anything. Right now I am actually gearing up to run the beginner box for my brother, a friend of his, and the friend's who live in another state. Once I get into my groove; time permitting, I will be setting up a second game for the Sky King's Tomb Adventure Path. But 'get into my grove' is key here because it's been 20 years since I GM'd anything.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">That said, the tools for me to do so are all there, and the majority of my pre-game prep is making a small little map I wanted for a neighborhood in a dwarven city to be the 'home base' for the PCs. The one failing of the module is that it says "the PCs get rooms in this inn from their patron, which can be their home base' and then doesn't map that spot as it's never used for anything but theater of the mind RP.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">But I like maps...</li> </ul>For the other game, with my brother, the plan is Beginner Box and then maybe Abomination Vaults. My game prep has consisted on downloading some 'AI art' of local buildings a YouTuber made in a lore video and then shared, which I liked, and using it for Foundry backdrops. That's basically it. Beginner Box is so easy I am intentionally running it without reading the adventure just to see if it's that easy. As I have already done half of that for my brother and his own kids - the answer is it works, but middle school kids might not be best. He actually games with them in FFXIV though.But just because a module is so well done you can run it blind doesn't mean the game or rules are. However as a player that's how I learned them - in play with a GM who was doing the same. You just need a table were people are willing to set egos aside and look things up (we were online so doing this in the archives of nethys site was fast - faster than I could find things in my actual PDFs or hard copy books).20 years ago that was my rule as a GM: players are encouraged to rules correct me with page references and quoting stuff. I found that it resolved things fast and if I kept egos down, feelings were smooth and we carried on.</blockquote>
