Hi,
I have been visiting the Paizo site for awhile, reading up on the work being done on the Pathfinder RPG. I am looking at starting playing/DMing again and have a couple of questions about the Pathfinder range (Companion, Adventure paths, Chronicles, etc).
1) Are any of the Companion or Chronicles products required to run any of the Adventure Paths or do they expand on the setting information provided in the Adventure Path?
2) The group I'll be DMing for includes 2 people that haven't played D&D before, 1 that hasn't played since 1st edition, and 2 that have played 3.5. What would be a good Adventure Path to run for this group?
I'm looking for one that has a good mix of hack & slash and roleplaying.
Thanks.
