[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 5790017, member: 59082"] Thanks again, Saint Mac - you're my Pathfinder guru (or saint? ;-). I think what I'm going to do is this: read through the Beginner's Box, play the solo adventure. Then I'm going to make a couple characters, and read through core a bit (I already own core, beginner's box, gamemastery guide, and a bunch of setting stuff). I'll probably purchase a few first modules of appealing Adventure Paths and read through them, if only for ideas. No, I'm not in a hurry - I probably wouldn't start DMing it until about the time the Runelords book comes out, so that might be a good idea (although my sense is that it isn't too difficult to run Pathfinder characters in a 3.5 adventure?). Serpent's Skull and Legacy of Fire also sound appealing to me, so I might try one of those (although the reviews of SS later on aren't so great, but the "find the lost city in the jungle" theme was similar to what I had planned). I also do own the first book of Kingmaker but haven't read it. It sounds like a lot of fun, but I'll be wary of starting with it. Maybe after running the short adventure in the Beginner's Box? I'll come back to this thread throughout the process and re-read advice given, maybe occasionally post questions. [/QUOTE]
