[QUOTE="Traveon Wyvernspur, post: 6131407, member: 73201"] If you haven't GM'd PF before then I suggest you check out some of the [URL="http://paizo.com/pathfinder/modules/freeRPGDay"]free modules[/URL] out and get the hang of it beforehand. These are pre-written adventures that are good for 1 or 2 shots and are level appropriate. The other thing I also recommend is that you check out some of the [URL="http://paizo.com/pathfinder/adventurePath"]Adventure Paths[/URL] which are designed to take characters from level 1 to level 16. There are plenty of them out now and offered as official products by Paizo. After you are comfortable running games then I suggest you go on and do your own home-brew worlds. I've even used modules and APs to steal stuff from and incorporate into my games. I'll take some of the ideas/encounters and place into my worlds, but not run the adventures as written. A couple of good resources for helping you run games are: [URL="http://combatmanager.com/"]Combat Manager[/URL] - Free and makes running combats easier. [URL="http://www.wolflair.com/?context=hero_lab&page=pathfinder_roleplaying_game"]Hero Lab[/URL] - I have this and love the program, but it's not free. It has a lot of available add-ons that you can purchase for each and every official Paizo product. [URL="http://www.obsidianportal.com/"]Obsidian Portal[/URL] - Free and paid subscriptions. An online site to keep track of your campaign. I know I'm probably missing a few good ones, but these are the ones I've used in the past and have worked well for me. [/QUOTE]
