[QUOTE="Nimmo, post: 5496230, member: 6671446"] Hi everyone, I have been hit hard by the Pathfinder bug and have now volunteered to play the role of DM in a one-off Pathfinder scenario whilst our usual DM is unavailable due to the University actually expecting us to work... (so unreasonable isn't it?) Anyway, we are used to D&D 3.5, we are going to be running with 5 PCs. 4 of the players (myself included) have been playing D&D since November and have no other experience of game systems. We have one player who is definitely experienced in 3.5, 4.0 and I think he mentioned some Warhammer based ones too and has DM'd many campaigns with a group of people he knew before Uni. Anyway, that's a bit of background to what's going on, on to the real question I guess... Since I know this is likely only going to be a one-off thing, I figured that I would run with one of the Pathfinder Society Scenarios, but I have seen that they all seem to have two "tiers" in them. I was wondering if I was right in assuming that the term "tier" was synonymous with level. I have read the Society Players guide and the Seekers of Secrets book and couldn't find a yes/no answer to that. I have decided that starting at level 5 would be a good idea, as it gives a good flavour into what Pathfinder is really like. The other thing I was wondering about was which Scenario would be good to go for. I have had a quick look through some of the tier 5 scenarios and liked the look of the Silent Tide, as it seems that in a 4 hour session you can save the world and seems to have quite a good set of reviews. Another that I had looked at was Mists of Mwangi. I have a physical copy of the Core Rulebook and Advanced Player's guide. I couldn't get my hands on any physical copies of the Monster's Manual, or any of the Society books, but I have purchased PDF versions of these, so have easy access to them. Anyway, if you have any thoughts or suggestions then feel free to send them my way, or if you want to throw rocks, at least give me a chance to cower in the corner and cry like a little schoolgirl. Thanks for your time, Nimmo [/QUOTE]
