I'd run it that that guide gets them where they need to go and give the players the option to allow the guide to get them lost for XP. If the players got the guide then if they didn't want that to search for them selves, thats not the story they want so I wouldn't make them do that as part of...

Thanks for the responses everybody!

Any pathfinder worth his salt with have a binder full of pregens for all the core classes. I have one, and your local guys/women will have one too. That or they can print one right away! If you just want a great intro game of Pathfinder, try "We be goblins!" Great intro to the system.

My question to ask is WHY are they powergaming? I have a friend who loves DnD, but is really more about making the numbers bigger. Doesn't care what you got, but he wants his numbers bigger then the last time. Fine. He wants some damage then go for it. I have a different friend who is all...

For me PDFs are important, but if they are not official, then they will still happen. WotC can either make some money from it, or torrents can make the information available without them. Don't believe me? Look up 4e on the pirate bay. You can get the whole run in complete packages!

Look at DCC. Luck is something you burn to add to a d20 roll. Rogues get free luck to spend. Halflings get to add a random roll instead of a 1-to-1 point purchase.

Honestly, I like this system, but most likely won't run a long term game. I'll keep buying, because I'm an addict. In the game I ran with my family, my brother who has problems reading really came out of his shell. He came up with new ideas, thought of ways to use his powers that wen't...

Honestly, I'm getting to old to care about fiddly things. 4e had the awesome defined attacks that weren't fiddly. They may have tied my hands as a DM a little too muchy, but they didn't need 50 pages of rules to do anything. Old School DnD has freedom, and I love that. Pathfinder has the...
