Paizo maintains a set of Organized Play pages and monthly Organized Play posts that serve as the go to resource for sanctioned organized play in both Pathfinder Society and Starfinder Society. These pages list newly released digital scenarios and state when those scenarios become eligible for sanctioned play. They also publish sanctioning notices that clarify which books and optional rules are allowed in sanctioned events. For anyone running or attending Society games the pages consolidate the essential campaign rules and timing details that determine what counts as legal play.

The Organized Play pages also provide practical guidance on running and reporting Society games. Scenario authorship rules are posted so creators understand the standards for official scenarios. Information on how to earn recognition such as Campaign Service Coins is available, along with the procedures to submit nominations for community recognition. Event organizers can find links to the official schedule, downloads for sanctioned scenarios, and instructions on how to find or host local and regional events.

For players this resource matters because it keeps characters compliant with the campaign rules that matter in tournaments and seasonal events. Verifying allowed source books and options before spending experience or creating new characters prevents surprises at the table. Game masters benefit from published release dates and scenario downloads to plan sessions and announce sanctioned play eligibility to their groups. Organizers who report games or seek sanctioning notices will find the procedural steps and forms they need to keep events in good standing.
