[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 5757095, member: 518"] Here's my take on the stuff I have bought so far for PF: I'm a KISS type of person when it comes to gaming, and for me the Beginner Box is perfect. A+++++++++. This is my new system of choice, and I'm buying a second copy as I'm already wearing out the spine of the GM book. I have the core rulebook, but I avoid it like the plague, except for reference of a spell, item, etc. The core game (and 3.x) is not the kind of RPG I want to run. I get some use out the Bestiary of course, but have not bothered with B2 or B3-just don't seem to be offering the types of foes that float my boat. Or rather not enough in each book to warrant a purchase for me. I'll pick off the PFSRD as needed. The GMG IMO is an excellent book if you are not into crunchy fiddly rules stuff (which I am not). It reads like a textbook, but there is some good stuff in here for world/adventure building. The NPC stats chapter, and the random tables have come in handy for me on the crunch side of things. Got this barely used for under $20 through an Amazon seller, well worth the $ I paid, but @ full price,probably not-YMMV. Flip Mats and map packs have gotten my gaming dollar and will continue to do so. I have the GM screen, but rarely reference it using the BB-just there to hide my stuff. I'm sure much more useful for a Core Rules game. Big beefy construction. The recently announced Box O' Pawns has got me really excited, and that is a must buy for me. Crypt of the Everflame- good intro module for players coming from 3.5. The plot to me is a little silly. Haven't decided yet whether I will use it. May play better than it reads. Osirion- really wanted to like this as I have a fondness for Egyptian style themes/adventures: has a few good ideas/adventure plots, but overall not much meat, and lots of bland filler. I'm not into the scripted out Adventure Paths **. Not my style. Cannot help there. **not sure why this autolinked to something on ENworld. If they start offering more BB adventures/products I'll be down for those. [/QUOTE]
