Scott -

All I can say, is you have given me a lot of ideas. I do want to make it more light, and less rule heavy. On that, I'm prepaired to be making house rules as we go.

I will check with wife on Larping checks, but I bet the kids would love that. I really do want story time for the family, but I also want me and my son to play PF together.

Thanks again for the pointers.

I am giving my son the BB for his birthday. I plan on being GM, and was hoping to be able to get started with prep or something.

I'm not sure what comes in the box, but I understand there are some modules ready to play.

So, on that, is there anything I need to prepare for? Day of when we open it can we play right than?

I do want to do a zero day start, but I have no idea what I'm opening? I don't care about spoilers for the BB, just want to be prepared.

(1)Well I'm glad to hear that it worked for you. the 9 year old only has a 2 year old brother, so that will be a challange. I'm unsure how much the little one can do, but I'm sure he will want to be a part of it.

I do hope my wife will join too.

As for ownership, yeah I want to create it with him. I am going to use hero lab to help with rules.

I like the knowing your options. I think I want to help make cheat sheets for them once the character is made. I plan on being a nice GM at first. How hard I am will depend on how fast my son picks up what to do.

I also reward thinking outside the box. I like fun games.

(2) I hope to get his friends interested. As this will be given at his birthday party, I will see what happens. I'm not sure I want all the local kids, as I saw a post elsewhere were a 10 year old boy was just being a bully. Guess we all learn somehow?

(3) longer is better.

thanks for the advice. Now to go read about being better GM. I only tried once, and it was working ok.

I have played Pathfinder before with mostly official some house rules. I think my son would enjoy pathfinder, but I have a question on this.

I played the core game, and used the online resource of PRD to check rules. I also have Hero Lab with the core rules and a few extras (I forget what).

(1)So, I wanted to get my son the beginner box for his birthday. He enjoys RPGs, and I think this would be a hit. But, as I am new to GM, and I don't want to ruin my son's experience, what are thoughts on how to do this?

(2)Thoughts on my having a few npc's to fill out his party. I figure one character is more than enough for him to handle, but will have to see. He is 9.

(3)how much play is there in the BB?

(4)Any other thoughts, suggestions, or just hew, I didn't know this, but learned the hard way?

Edit:
I just looked, I used d20PFSRD.com for the rules.
