Come on down to Seattle and I can hook you up with a bi-weekly with amazing food and only a 15 minute walk from adorable seals.

So, go to the trouble of setting up a game, choosing a scenario, working out how many people will actually show, all to satisfy your demand to show it sufficiently to suit you?
Here's a game run by one of the devs:

Where in Seattle? I moved here in April and have yet to find (or really look) for a group. I was planning to go for a 5e game, but would be willing to try PF2e.

Often times, it's a slower process than that. I've been playing with a group of players here in central France for over 15 years, and it's always been a chore to find new players. COVID drove us online, and we continued with our group, but little by little we lost a player or two, then three and soon there were only three of us left.
So I began the slow process of recruiting. I had an old friend from Iowa who joined our online games for a year, and he brought another friend into the group. From discussions on a couple Discord channels, I eventually found other recruits. Now were back up to my ideal group size of 5-6 players and one DM (5-6 players so that one or two can be absent and we still have our ideal quorum).
What I'm trying to say is that it's not always a question of hosting games for "randoms". There are ways to vet new players that don't involve an open call.
And of course, this is true whether you're playing PF2 or any other version of D&D that you care to name.

Welcome!
Mox Boarding House in Ballard and Phoenix Comics & Games in Capitol Hill's Broadway both host Pathfinder Society games, among other locations, under the Emerald City Lodge: Emerald City Lodge | Warhorn Mox has very good food and they serve it while you play.
Good for learning the game and maybe finding folks for a proper canpaign. These locations also tend to have 5E and other games. Raygun Lounge in Capitol Hill is historically a great place to game, but I haven't been in several years so not sure what gets played.
Similar situation here with a table of 6 players that started in person and moved to remote play, though we haven’t lost any players yet. I think if we did, I would probably just run with 4 players and if we lost another, I would start looking in the local PFS groups to find a good fit. I see people on the local PFS Meetup group interested in running more than just PFS scenarios often enough, I don’t think it would be too hard to find a player or two in my area if I needed one.

Thank you! I'm in Cap Hill, so that is probably where I will start.
