[QUOTE="painted_klown, post: 6432809, member: 6785485"] Thank you for all of the answers/opinions. I am definitely joining the Pathfinder game that my work friend runs. I am actually going to start this weekend. I am sure it will be a rocking good time. He gave me a copy of the Rise of the Runelords player's guide to read, as that is the current campaign he is starting. I plan to read over all of it (even though I believe I won't really understand most of it) before the session on Saturday. I am hoping I can gain enough knowledge to at least have an understanding of how a game session will flow before I go there. I have also considered looking up a youtube video of a gaming session, just to see how a session flows. Not sure if that's a good idea or not. LOL! So, in my new found excitement for RPG gaming (even though I have yet to play one), last night I decided to order the reprint editions of the white box, and the 1st edition players handbook, DM guide, and monster manual. I just got my tracking confirmation e-mail today. I am seriously excited to check these out!!! The only "issue" I see with trying to run the older versions are the fact that all of the adventure modules (I think that's what they are called) are all out of print, and may be difficult/expensive to track down. Perhaps it was a bad idea, and I got caught up in the excitement, but either way, I think they will be a nice way to start my RPG game collection with a bit of history thrown in. :) [/QUOTE]
