Is there a fairly simple guide anywhere on how the PFS / Organized Play system works? It is royally complicated to try to get involved. I have a paizo.com account and a -0001 character thought up, and it is just insanely difficult to figure out just how the system works so that i can play with him!

There’s dozens of hits on google because of each region having its own organization with their own write-up, but frankly they seem to be written for people who are already involved or familiar with some form of organized play.

I've gotten into PFS via conventions. GenCon Online and PaizoCon in particular. The instructions for signing up tend to be pretty explicit for those events. And there's a discord channel (a social network program) with people willing to help you in real-time.

Once I found my first game, I just asked (pestered) the GM. He was very helpful and understanding.

But I totally agree with you - getting started is super hard. I'm still working things out. The plus side it everything works on the honor system. The negative side is I'm always worried I'm doing something wrong!

p.s. warhorn is a website - warhorn.net - where you can search for and sign up for games or tournaments for all kinds of systems. It's popular with PFS. As is rpgchronicles.net which is PFS specific (I think).
