[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7877550, member: 6803664"] Well if you've got the confidence of 3/4, then what's this worry about it possibly being your last shot at DMing? This stuff isn't about each game/campaign being the most fantastic thing ever. Sure, it's nice when that happens. And it's always the goal. But it's just not possible to always nail (for any # of reasons, even within the most stable groups) But as long as you've achieved 4-5 people (including yourself in that count!) having some fun hanging out, generally having a good time killing/looting monsters & aiming to come back next time ? Mission accomplished for the week. That 4th person though.... You might have a serious discussion about what they want, what YOU want, what the others want & see if you can improve things. And if you ultimately lose them? While regrettable, 3/3 + happy DM can also make for decent games. If you're worried about quality of game? Then keep the # of players for the first volume of the PF2 AP small - 3-4 players. And (if possible), [I]not[/I] those who're already unhappy with your DMing. Because for a bit it'll be a little choppy as you all learn the new rules. Errors will be made. And you don't need a bunch of grief about style, presentation, judgement calls, etc while ironing things out mechanicly. Bring those people in for the second module. [/QUOTE]
